Introducing Ghost Herd, coming January 10

It started as an American success story. The Easterday family took a couple hundred acres of farmland in Eastern Washington and grew it into a farming and ranching empire worth millions. Then, it all came crashing down.

Ghost Herd tells the story of Cody Easterday, the man at the center of one of the largest cattle swindles in U.S. history. Easterday invented a “ghost herd” of 265,000 cattle that only existed on paper … and swindled an agriculture giant to the tune of a quarter of a billion dollars.

Ghost Herd is a story of family and fraud, but also a story about the value of dirt and the shifting powers in the American West.
