Every rancher has a season that pushes them to grow. For Karoline, it was this one — stepping into securing leased land and running yearlings on her own for the first time, learning more than she expected along the way.
From locking down a lease in less than 30 days to fencing miles of country and managing cattle through a Montana summer, Karoline shares what it really takes to make a yearling lease work. She talks through the numbers and the surprises — all with the kind of honesty and humor that make every story worth hearing.
