Rick Hopper is a cattleman who has followed in his dad and grandad's footsteps of farming. Born and raised in Pitts, Rick started farming before he graduated high school. He started with a small herd of cattle, grew watermelons, and alongside his father started growing their hay business. He also received his welding degree. Now, he has Black & Red Angus cattle herds along with feeding out steers and helping with the hay crop. He is excited to add a meat processing facility to the list of things that keep him busy and hopes it will be a great attribute to Pitts and the surrounding areas.
