THE ANECDOTE EP. 18 Pt. 1 - Sask Snow Beef - Ian Crosbie

On Episode 18 of The Anecdote, we are pleased to announce the first installment of Beef Week. We will be splitting this episode into two parts, the second of which will be coming on Thursday May 6.
After introducing the hosts, we walk through the quarterly board meeting which took place on the golf course, the winner of the match is up for debate. Following the intros, we talk a little bit about what Beef Week is, talk about our guest in Part 1 of Episode 18 and then present a Pay it Forward.
Ian Crosbie, founder of Saskatchewan Snow Beef joins us at the 8:59 mark to discuss exactly what Sask Snow Beef is. Snow Beef is a cross breed of female Holstein cattle and the male Wagyu bull which hails from Japan. The beef is bred, born and raised in Saskatchewan, and as Ian said, it is "the best bite of beef you'll find in Saskatchewan". Ian is the only cattle farmer in Saskatchewan currently using Wagyu genetics. We talk marketing, pasture management, dairy and finishing programs before having Ian present a Pay it Forward of his own. We discuss some WHL and NHL hockey with Ian before letting him go.
Following the interview, we do a quick recap before wrapping up part 1 of Beef Week.
Stay tuned for Part 2 dropping Thursday.
Pay it Forward.
