Josh Quattlebaum joins Entertainingly Educational for this episode. Josh owns JCQ Farms in Saluda, SC. He is a small cattle producer and farmer who provides locally grown crops and beef to consumers.

Topic shakedown:

- How does a bull break his penis and what happens to him afterwards?

- Can we tell if our grocery store beef was raised in the US or not?

- Where to find locally raised beef.

- Insights on ordering bulk beef from your local farmer.

- What is driving the loss of so many farms in America.

We discuss what it's like to be a small time cattle producer and how the pricing market is driven by 4 large meat packers. Josh shares some numbers on the amount of beef that is raised in places like Mexico and South America, then shipped to the US and packaged as "Product of the US".

One of the most interesting topics we discussed was the United States cattle heard is at its lowest since 1961 and it is the third lowest ever. That's a scary for what the price of beef might look like in the next few years.

Meredith from the Meredith For Real Podcast joins us for this episode. I was curious as to which direction this episode would go. We're both feathers in the wind, a little ADDish, but I was confident that the journey Meredith would take us would be fun.

We discussed being an introvert living as an extrovert, selling Mary Kay, learning sign language to cheat on tests, Hispanic and Persian culture and food, and a few other topics.

Meredith has a great podcast with intriguing guests and she has a knack for getting them to open up.
