Grant shares his journey from urban life to livestock farming. He explains how he started with pigs and gradually diversified his farm to include layers, goats, and beef cattle. His strategic buying and selling in the commodity market allowed him to grow his herd from two to 24 cattle. He also emphasizes his commitment to environmental stewardship, using innovative composting methods and implementing wildlife conservation initiatives on his farm.
