What drives someone to pivot from a pediatric career to raising prized Wagyu cattle? Uncover the inspiring journey of Sheila Patinkin, founder of Vermont Wagyu, as she shares her story of resilience, adaptability, and passion. From acquiring 20 Wagyu embryos in 2007 to overcoming the challenges of COVID-19, floods, and supply chain setbacks, Sheila's tale is a testament to the power of determination. We discuss the innovative ways Vermont Wagyu transitioned to an e-commerce model, now serving 5,000 customers nationwide, and how Sheila repurposed obsolete dairy farms to expand her operations.
Thank you Sheila and team for all you hard work and commitment to excellence!!
