Ranch Riding

I like to hear the highway sounds, sometimes I wonder if I'll ever settle down

Keep chasing your dreams, you never know what might happen✨

Anyone looking for an assistant trainer position in N Texas?

Must be comfortable starting 2 yo’s, loping ranch riders & ropers, and competent in keeping things running. Really incredible, kind, up-and-coming trainer who treats employees right. Multiple World Champion program.

Yep it’s animal agriculture that’s the problem.

At age 15 I wanted to become the King of square bales & figured that's how I'd make millions.

So, I bought an old, beat up IH 46 square baler for a few hundred bucks & hooked it to my Allis Chalmers D17 Series IV.

I had no idea those balers were junk, especially old worn out ones...

My neighbor had finished combining an oat field & he agreed to let me bale a hayrack full (~100 bales).

Eagerly, I set out with my tractor, baler, and hayrack to drive the 4 miles in the summer heat to the oat field where I was destined to launch my square bale business.

But, that's not what happened.

Got to the field, fired up the baler, and spent the next three hours fighting that junk baler to make 10 loose, banana shaped bales.

Dripping with sweat & having run out of choice words to yell at the knotters, I was about to give up.

Until I saw the neighbor pull in with his New Holland 565, drop the pick-up, and crank out 90 bales in what seemed like 10 minutes...

I was green with envy.

He pulled up & told me he had been watching me battle my baler & couldn't believe I hadn't quit yet. He also confirmed my baler ought to be sold for scrap metal.

He took pity on me.

Those 90 bales he made were for me.

Told me to load up my hayrack & he'd bale me another 100 while I was gone.

Said he wanted to help a young neighbor who was stubborn enough to sweat in an oat field for 3 hours, fighting to get $300 worth of straw bales...

I'll never forget that generosity, and we became friends and eventually he became my feed customer.

My takeaway:

What he did was really no big deal to him. It didn't cost him much

-Time
-Effort
-Money

But, it had an incredible impact on me.

Instead of getting frustrated & quitting...

I upgraded balers, learned how to fix & maintain it, and baled thousands of square bales over the next few years.

I learned what seem like small good deeds to us, can be seen as real game changers to those we're helping.

So, if a few minutes of my time, tools, and resources can help the next person... well, I guess I owe it to Chris to pass on the generosity.

Decided to use my 3D printer to figure out how the hell we’re doing this.

Colter Wall's voice is like if a denim covered cowboy rode a diesel powered horse while swilling whiskey and smoking an unfiltered during a blizzard.

During this cold snap be sure to keep all the farmers in your thoughts and prayers who are keeping all the little corns and soybeans warm.

Back in June, I help my mom clean out her pool shed. There's a strand of old twinkle lights with plastic flamingos. "Throw them out," she says. "They don't work." But I see that the flamingos came off easily, so I start to pull them off. "I can do something with these."

Don’t date the cowboys that dance around in their hotel rooms for tik toks at the NFR.. date the cowboys that can’t go to the NFR bc they’re too busy taking care of their cows 😀

@gbtangus @BigMACsbeef With our purebred (and commercial herd) we definitely keep track of maternal traits and longevity along with growth & carcass. It’s easy for us to see what the strong cow families are as we have mothers/daughters/granddaughters working beside each other in our pastures

A WHITETAIL DEER'S ANTLER CONSISTS OF A MAIN BEAM WITH A SERIES OF SINGLE POINTS PROJECTING FROM THAT BEAM.

BUT THE MULE DEER'S ANTLERS ARE DICHOTOMOUS; THAT BIG WORD MEANS THE MAIN BEAM DIVIDES INTO TWO BRANCHES LIKE A TREE, MAKING THIS "Y" SHAPE:
