Episode of Series “Earth and it’s peoples”.
The Middle West States of America play an important part in producing the country’s meat supply. Here are the cattle buyers and the packing plants, but the cattle business begins in Montana and Wyoming on the cattle ranches. The film shows the annual roundup, the branding, and the shipments of cattle in the fall to the farmers in the corn belt, where they are fattened for market.
