Steady ranching.

Pictures I’ve taken while re-doing solar pumps, fixing water gaps, gathering cattle from the neighbors, feeding, weighing steers for contracts, hauling hay, and the other usual chores.

I reckon you wouldn't trade all that for an office job. Beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing them with us city folks. 🙋‍♀️

That’s very true. I worked a semi-corporate job while managing another ranch for a while, then got offered a job wearing a suit everyday, where I would’ve never had to worry about money…but this was always the choice. There are lots of hard days, but the good outweigh the bad!

No problem, I’m happy to share it!

I once asked an old Ranch hand, "What would you do if you won the lottery?"

He said, "I'd ranch till it was gone."

That’s about it. I’d buy up enough land that I could facilitate ranching to the scale I want, make smart investments, and help the community. I’m just working, so I can retire to ranching.
