Yes they are the Reid’s, but we are not related. If we were related I would be a pain in the butt third removed cousin insisting I get the highest level family discounts!! Just kidding.
I wanted to shake things up a bit and bring on someone young. Gus Reid was at the top of my list. A young man with a passion for cattle and wears a big ole grin of optimism. We all remember being young and having plans, I thought it was a great opportunity to reconnect with those though my conversation with Gus. The generations behind RK Cattle Co will be respected and learnt from by the generations that will continue it forward.
In the second part we tap into as I call it, ‘The RK’. Sandy Reid reviews the history of his family, their love for breeding cattle and how starting RK Animal Supply came about. When we talk about the handling equipment and how they had to make the decisions to stay afloat, there are some lessons to pay attention too. You can chase your passion unless you are financially stable and decision to put the business over pride must be made.
Evertime I go to a zoo now I always think of the specialized equipment and seeing it stored in every day fashion at the RK shop.
