    Host Dane Drake sits down with Matt Parsons of Sun Cattle Company, a first-generation rancher who started with 10 heifers at 36, built a cattle-to-table onion burger restaurant in Oklahoma City, sells mules out of Wyoming, and still shows up at the Beaver County Stockyards to market his Braford cows when drought calls for it.
