Jacquelyn Whetten, Ranch Mom Saga
There are few things better than seeing your kids grow and succeed in life, and Kelly and I are proud of what ours have accomplished. It is such an honor to sit down with Jacquelyn and talk about where she is in life and her passion of raising good protein to keep her family healthy and help other people who want to eat superior and nutritious food. Raising kids, cattle, pigs and chickens while taking care of several hundred acres, a farrier practice, and staying in front of the marketing that goes with being an entrepreneur in this day and age takes a lot of time, smarts and motivation as you are going to see from this interview. We are cleared for takeoff.
