I love this story. My husband’s people are all from Montana. It is great to see a true story of hard work, cooperation, and a spirit of adventure taking hold in Russia. Looks like a win win situation. I want to follow this story and get regular updates. Do these cattle all come from the Stevenson Ranch?
