John Howerton of Berryville, Arkansas, and Henry Dare of Canton, Illinois, partner to raise cattle that eventually supply beef to Tyson Foods. Howerton preconditions calves to ensure they stay healthy after weaning, while Dare finishes the process on his family farm before sale. Both farmers emphasize the trust, care, and multigenerational dedication required to bring beef from pasture to plate.
