In 2021, Metro Tader Services partnered with Bear Hug Cattle Company, a non-profit providing veterans with opportunities in the ranching community.

Together, the companies give veterans the resources, knowledge and funding necessary to be successful in the ranching industry. At BHCC, transitioning service members are offered a 10-week intensive course where attendees gain confidence in horsemanship, ranch tasks, basic ranch economics, and receive field training at historic operational ranches in the western U.S.
