Farm Survey
ISSUE DATE: 09/29/2008

Open Range is a natural for Angus beef

When Don Bush Sr. moved his family to the Missouri Ozarks 15 years ago, he had retirement in mind. The same was true for Steve Willard, when he moved from Georgia to Missouri six years ago. Fate intervened and now retirement is out of the picture as Bush and Willard started a new venture together marketing all natural beef.

"It is like a dream come true for us," Bush said.
