Wilders Welcomes University of Mount Olive on Farm Tour

We were honored to host a group of esteemed faculty members from the University of Mount Olive (UMO) on a tour of our flourishing cattle operation located in the quaint town of Turkey, North Carolina. Welcoming the educators onto our farm provided an exceptional opportunity to showcase the scale, dedication, and innovative practices that drive that keep our farm running day to day.

As hosts, we guided the UMO faculty members through our grounds, sharing our passion for cattle farming and revealing the intricate care that goes into raising high-quality livestock. We were thrilled to show off our animals and facility while discussing techniques that play a pivotal role in ensuring the well-being and productivity of our herd.

During the tour, we emphasized our dedication to sustainable practices and environmental stewardship. The faculty members were able to witness firsthand how we integrate eco-friendly solutions into our everyday operations, minimizing our environmental footprint and preserving the natural beauty of our surroundings.

One of the highlights of the visit was showcasing the strong sense of community among ranchers in the Wagyu industy. We take pride in the spirit of collaboration and support that defines our agricultural community. The faculty members were impressed by the camaraderie and willingness to share knowledge among ranchers, which fosters continuous improvement and elevates the entire industry.

The experience offered the UMO faculty members a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and rewards associated with managing a large-scale cattle operation.
