In this episode of the Casual Cattle Conversations Podcast, Shaye interviews Andrew Bredeweg about his multi-generational family farm in southwestern Indiana and why supporting family agriculture businesses helps rural communities thrive. Andrew explains how their operation evolved from a sustenance farm and dairy into a cattle-focused business that also farms under 500 acres, and how his kids are gaining ownership and business experience through feeding cattle and selling beef locally.   He discusses their approach to adopting practical technology—highlighting rotational grazing, TMR feeding, and the Performance Beef app to improve feeding accuracy, billing, and decision-making for custom-fed cattle. Andrew also shares his role managing a co-op feeder calf auction barn with seasonal sales and describes a local high school internship program that places juniors and seniors with area businesses to keep young talent in the community.  Catch more conversations like this one and learn more at https://www.casualcattleconversations.com/  00:00 Andrew’s Family Farm Story  01:10 Why Support Family Ag  02:32 Life in Southern Indiana  03:31 Generations on the Farm  05:14 Raising the Next Gen  06:10 Learning Business Leadership  08:27 Adopting Farm Technology  12:35 Performance Beef App  15:47 Managing the Sale Barn  19:56 Internships for Rural Youth  23:30 Community Keeps Talent Home  25:18 Final Takeaways  26:19 Wrap Up and Thanks
