LORRAINE, Kan. (RFD News) — Moly Manufacturing recently hosted its “Beef and Greet” event, bringing together conversations surrounding cattle handling, livestock equipment and innovation across the beef industry.

Mollhagen says safety remains the top priority when working with livestock and designing new handling systems.
