Give your story a title.

POV of a Cattle Rancher

What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?

Audio recording

Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

This is important to me because this is my partner speaking. At the beginning of the pandemic we were living in Montana on a working cattle ranch, so our experience was a lot different than what we were seeing on social media. We experienced extreme food shortages and ironically had an even harder time selling cattle to processors and feed lots.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?

#foodproduction, #montana, #cattle, #fooddistribution

Who originally created this object? (If you created this object, such as photo, then put "self" here.)
