For many ranchers their connection and control of their livestock ends when the animals are shipped off the ranch to either be grain-finished and fattened up in a feedlot or sent to slaughter and processing at a large corporate-owned facility. But that's starting to change as women carve out their place in the meat supply chain.Ashley Ahearn has been visiting working ranches across the West in her podcast Women's Work and today we listen in on one episode where she meets rancher Cory Carman who is leading the charge, marketing her beef – and the beef of other ranchers she’s partnered with in the Northwest – to urban, eco-minded consumers.You can listen to all of the Women's Work series wherever you get your podcasts.
