Sam Cossio’s experience comes from doing the work, not studying it from the outside. He started in feedlots working maintenance, processing cattle, feeding, and handling day-to-day operations, learning every part of how a yard runs.
Over time, he moved into leadership, eventually managing large-scale cattle operations where performance depended not just on systems, but on people. His experience shaped a clear view, most operational problems are not technical; they come down to how teams are trained, managed, and held accountable.
Today, through his work with Back to Basics, Sam focuses on helping operations improve how work actually gets done, from crew structure to communication and execution.
That same perspective is what he brings to Folio3 AgTech — making sure solutions reflect the realities of feedlot operations and support the people using them every day.
