Did you know, in many of our western states, cattle still outnumber people?

Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming each have more cattle than residents — a reminder of how deeply beef production is tied to Western agriculture, rangeland stewardship, and rural economies.🐂🌾

📍 In Idaho, beef remains one of the state’s leading ag sectors.

🌱 Across the West, well-managed grazing helps maintain working rangelands, support soil health, recycle nutrients, and reduce excess plant material.

At Root Ag, we’re proud to support the producers and landowners who raise beef, care for our rangelands, and keep rural economies thriving.

Happy Beef Month! 🥩
