Calving Season 2025: Didier Ranch gives an update on calving season and the importance of beef

With calving season in full swing, we now want to check in with an Oklahoma producer for an update from his operation.

Gatlin Didier spoke with RFD-TV’s own Suzanne Alexander on his calving season progress, what he is keeping an eye on the rest of the year, and the importance of beef and how it feeds America.
