My brother’s high-tech calf operation

Comments 2

More by Heather

My brother, Ryan Vaubel, (better known as Tyson’s dad)  is the third generation to be involved in my family’s farm outside of Botkins.

The farm continues to evolve mainly because technology allowed him to be a part of the family farm. He gets lots of questions about his calf building and people visiting the farm often walk back to take a tour.

While I wouldn’t call him a trendsetter, Ryan is part of new generation of agriculture doing things differently. After all, he’s the same guy  I reported was selling his calves through Craigslist…..

Since you all can’t stop by (though that would be fun) I brought Ryan and the farm to you.

The truth be told, I’m pretty proud of my brother. Not many young people make it in agriculture. I’m excited to be related to one of them:)
