The Sims Family (Part 2) — How the Sims Family Keeps Getting Better With Every Generation [Ranchonomics Stories Ep 9]

In Part 2 of the Sims family's story, John Haskell continues the conversation, focusing on how their approach to ranching has continued to evolve across generations. They discuss changes to grazing management, calving dates, genetics, and drought planning, along with the lessons they've learned from testing new ideas and paying attention to what the land and cattle are telling them. The conversation also dives into what it takes to build a family business that gets better with every generation. The Sims family shares how they approach succession, involve the next generation, create space for different perspectives, and use regular strategy meetings to make sure everyone has an opportunity to be heard. At the heart of their story is a commitment to continued learning, experimentation, and listening, both to the people around the table and to the land itself.
