Raising Cattle With Old Fashioned Values

Michael Lenagar believes in running his farm with old fashioned values. “I know I’m doing it just like the old folks did. They figured it out and I’m not changing it.” The Neola Farms owner has become a popular fixture around the Memphis, Tenn., area where he and his wife, Charline sell organic Black Angus beef directly to consumers and restaurants. “No steroids, no antibiotics,” said Lenagar. They even have a fan base overseas. “We have foreign countries that are calling us here, wanting our beef out of Tennessee,” Michael says. “We’ve actually Fed Ex’ed around the world.” (The Soundtrack Project – A collaboration between the Greater Memphis Chamber and the Memphis Symphony Orchestra).
