Oklahoma Ranchers Receive Federal Funding

An Oklahoma company is getting funding from the federal government in order to help prevent another meat production shortage.

Dry Creek Meats is one of 25 companies receiving grant money.

Rancher Bret Riley said the money will allow him to pay for labor for the next three years, and continue to raise his cattle holistically.

"We'll raise them sustainably. We'll bring them here, we'll handle them humanely and put out a product that the customers can trust.

Riley said with the money they save through this grant, his family will open a Bed and Breakfast in the town of Leedey.
