Episode 84 // Keith and Sandi Mitcham of Mitcham Livestock
This week on the podcast we’re with Keith and Sandi Mitcham of Mitcham Livestock, a custom cattle feeding operation in Cherokee, Oklahoma (pop. 1,498). Keith and Sandi decided to move across the country with a few cattle and their life savings to go all in on reviving this feedlot that had a great past but needed a little love. This is an important story about an escape from urban sprawl and some of the not so great effects of economic development. It’s also a story of hard work, faith, and chasing your dreams.
You’ll be happy to hear how well things are going for Keith and Sandi in this new venture and that their risk is paying off. And also how happy they are - you can literally hear it in their voices in this interview!
I really love my life here. I still drive down the road and go, I can’t believe I live here.
— Sandi Mitcham
The people in Cherokee and this area have been a real blessing. They want you to succeed here.

Mitcham Livestock, just before the first cattle arrived.
We want to lay our heads down at night and know we have done the best job that we can do.
— Sandi Mitcham
Once you get that dream, start chasing it.
