On this episode of Before the Bid we change things from the livestock sales to a different kind of bid. We have a conversation with my dad, Doctor Phil Howell D.V.M. about his bid for the American Angus Board of Directors. The 137th Annual Angus Meeting is scheduled for November 8 and 9 in Kansas City, Missouri. Five seats are open for the Board of Directors. We give you some insight to Docs family and business history, past experiences on the board, and thoughts for the future of the breed and cattle business. Join us for this special Livestock Before the Bid episode.
