Buenas! It’s my final week in South America. Currently we are a couple of hours north of Buenos Aires heading to a feedlot with the president of the Argentinian Feedlot Association. We picked up an Aussie for this stretch. Brett Nobbs from NCC Brahams in Queensland has joined Kacy and I for a couple of days.
