First one I listened to was RA Brown Ranch, and really enjoyed the stories. Have not been disappointed with any of them since!
If you have any inkling of the cattle industry and the folks who have dedicated their lives to it this is a great listen. After spending over 30 years in this industry and knowing several of the people Jim has on his show I learned something about each of them. It’s great to hear how they and their families, often multiple generations, have changed the cattle industry. Great job, Jim!
Great podcast!
Wether you’re involved in cattle or not I think this a great podcast to try. The stories from these historical ranches although mostly cattle specific are wildly entertaining and very easy to understand even if you have little background in agriculture.
Wow all three episodes were very entertaining and educational at the same time as these cowboys share their ups, downs passions and convictions. Mr. Browns purposes in life like up so level with my eyes got leaky when I heard them. If he loved white cattle we could be identical twin Brothers!
