I was born and raised in the city but have always felt a connection to the country and ranching. I’m only a 14 year old girl living in the city but with a drive and heart for horses, cattle, hard work, and ranching. I don’t know where I would even start from to live in this lifestyle, especially at this young age but I know once I’m out of the house i’m going for it. I don’t own a horse, my grandpa recently sold all his cattle on his farm, and I have no experience in ranch life but I will learn. It will take time, hard effort, and sacrifices but one day I will make it. I just can’t see myself ever working a 9-5 job at a desk all day and I know for sure that this is my calling from God.
Don’t weaken in your plans. God surely will bless you with your dream.
There are several different types of farms and ranches that have apprenticeship programs that would be perfect for you to get the experience you're looking for.
I’m a 15 year old city boy but I’m more happy in the country. I wish I had the skills to work as a ranch hand. 😔
@kevin15chopper texas, sir
TJ Bratcher if your willing to learn and be a hard worker, and ain’t scared to work all day or on the holidays, you can be. Your name sounds like a country name😂 I’m also 15
@Cowboy15chopper can you teach me ?
Alan Horning same here sir i intend to carry on this long standing legacy of cowboys
@@RyanDouglasMusic are you on of them l mean the cowboys
What kind of people gave this a thumbs down? Love to all the ranchers, farmers, cowboys!
people that don't know and don't care where their food comes from... thanks for your support !
liberals who think these people are racist, murders with guns who abuse animals.
Libtards and Vegans
Treehugger soy vegetarians!
That's who
Vegans .
Love this life style i hope these ranchers and ranches survive .
I dont believe we will unfortunately
COME ON . . . BELIEVE !!!
I so miss living on a ranch. But taking care of my Dad at the present time.
Huge mentor Duke thanks for all your dedication and hard work God bless you and your family
I would love to go on vacation to this place. Now that would be a vacation. I would be willing to work while I’m there.
Charles Rice same thought
@@bxmbi2189 If you look on their website they do offer ranching vacations
If you look on their website they do offer ranching vacations and I'm sure they'd be happy to have the extra revenue
Come to my ranch then haha we need some more workers
@@ProDoc18 what Ranch ate you at?
Cowboys are the best! I wasn’t cowboy for the youth of my life. My best friend and his dad had a big place in lone tree Wyoming. I learned so much back then. God wish things were close to the same!!!!
Hi Duke your Truth and Beauty moved me very much , I cried and laughed , its incredible ! you might be the Luckiest Man in the World !
Adee Estrada i envy him
We are a dying breed Long live the cowboy viva Los vaqueros....
Only because liberals are crying
I want a mustache like Dukes when i grow up.
Me too 🤣🤣🤣
Love these kind of videos,love the open spaces.
What a gift to be able to buy 103k acre ranch obviously blue collar job wouldn't but that, nice ranch good luck
God Bless you and your Family , Please Keep going its Wonderful ! Me my husband and daughter Dream of your incredible Life !
I love this place ❤️.
No doubt in my own mind,,, I will be following the next episodes :)
Living a dream, great great..
Managing a ranch that size is unfathomable. Lots of driving & riding I would imagine...
I live in Dora NM and I live on a ranch and we still move cattle by horses
This is such a westerny spiritual video and I like it a lot because it makes me realize that you have only one life and you should use it wisely.
I’d do anything to learn to be a rancher. It’s always been a hidden desire of mine, but I live in Wisconsin in the city. I don’t know where I would start but I do love hard work.
best way to do it is get ahold of the closest ranch and ask them to see if you can become a ranch hand. Tell them with full honesty that you don't even know the first 2 steps in ranching, and that you're from the city. They'll be more then happy to accept and teach you the ropes. discuss the terms and conditions with them. Don't expect to be paid. The payment you get out of this is experience. Expect to work long and hard hours. Tears, but not from bad feelings you get from the city but from pain, and joy. Remember, its your first time, and ranching isn't like office work. It takes time to learn. Lastly, the most important tip I can give to you is to be conservative. A true conservative. Not one? learn to be one. if you need help, I'm the most conservative Asian you'll ever see. Its not a matter of being political but it will be the lifestyle you WILL be living if you go into this field. It will be a mindset you will need to have to help you succeed in the ranching world.
Beautiful
I'm 16 and I come from south of France and i dream of this life, I don't know how and if one day I will achieve my dream but I keep hope.
Thank you for making these documentaries I really need them 🤗

If you're not in the united states, you can follow what I said, But if you want true American ranching, get a job save up money and move to the Americas. It's a hard dream to achieve depending on where you are, but no matter where, its always worth the effort.
Era um tipo de vida que gostaria de vivenciar...
it looks amazing....
did i understand right, that its in colorado springs?
God bless your family amen friend, 🖐️🇹🇩🙏
Amo La vita Fuori Animali lavoro Libertà Fatica Questa È La Vera Vita,❤️🌹
I know it's crazy but I've always wanted to work on a ranch but I know it's hard to find one now bc there's barely any left I mean the last one where I live closed a year ago
Depends where you live. Where I'm from there's plenty of cattle, dairy and horse farms in ohio
Sky Volt me too
You may have to travel outside your state.
There’s a website with thousands of ranch jobs in all states. Do some research

My aunt owned six sections way back in the 1920s and 1930s.
Nice ranch
If you interested in working with livestock I'd recommend ffa, however if your out of school, look up horse boarding near me. Start a a horse facility, bale hey and make connections. Than you can make connections and work on other farms. Every state has dairy farms, horse farms, and such of that nature. If your really lucky land a job at a small rodeo company.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has been to Rio Diablo Rosso ranch it's just outside of south west Texas ranch it's not far from the Rio grande river it's sets on the highest banks on the south west Texas river not to far from the El Paso valley ranch
How I wish to live in a ranch..
los vaqueros son Mexicanos 🇲🇽 esa cultura es mexicana ellos la adoptaron o mejor dicho ellos la robaron. y eso les duele ya que no quieren a los mexicanos pero bien que les gusta nuestra cultura 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽 viva México 🇲🇽🤠🐎🌵🏜️🍺🍻 Ajuua.

give us luck and a litte rain,

Well done keep it up cause one day I'm coming over there and I'd like to see how a really ranch is run and live with a real family while I experience it not on one of these commercial ranches that cater for holiday makers, your doing a fantastic job nothing like the old west.. c
You need to pray that corporate American politics do not sell you out. Your ranch is providing the same excellent Bison that sustained our original Native American peoples. They were good stewards of the land just like you are.
I love how they keep talking about the dying out of the small family Rancher all the while they're sitting on a hundred thousand plus acres! Sorry but you're not going to find too many family ranches that have a hundred thousand acres or Twenty Thousand for that matter!
Can I work there and be a seasonal cowboy??????
They have a website, idk the name

cowboys are Mexican 🇲🇽 that culture is Mexican they adopted it or rather they stole it. and that hurts them because they don't like Mexicans but they also like our culture 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽 viva México 🇲🇽🤠🐎🌵🏜️🍺🍻 Ajuua.
Vaquero MX cowboys can be from anywhere and that lifestyle can be worn by anyone
@@minsh5675 Hello Love cowboys 🤠
i love God's Ways and The Western Ways a lot people say it is old fashion but hear me it maybe old fashion but God uses it and it is a great life and job it is hard but i love it :D
The “gods way” is not in a particular part of the country or political party for that matter .
Lekker man lekker
Podría ser en español lo disfrutaría más gracias.
Só queria ver em português 🥺
Era tudo o que eu queria também :(
I wanna work there as a hand
also graze nonselectively and breed for good inherent body condition....best of luck
I would do this everyday
we do this every day
@@robertshufflebotham5192 Is this tiring?
Yes it is tiring. We do this from sun up to sun down everyday of the year so people have food. We love are livestock and our land.
@@musababuassi7922 I don't think its the tiring you get from the city. In the city, its a lot of mental tiredness. in ranching, I think its more physical tiredness, and as well as satisfaction. A satisfied tiredness.
Reminds me about Cowboys
Carl Brink they remind me of red dead redemption
Btw, are you a fan of svtfoe as well??!!
Zack the engineer it’s way better than red dead redemption
All was like the Texas hill country I never did Care to much for city all that well
Does anyone know what school courses one needs to become a ranch hand? Like for calving and other things not usual to common knowledge? I don't know exactly how to ask any better. Also, has anyone worked any Where they would suggest applying? Or first hand experience they could give me advice from? Thanks
I need a little experience also. I was very intrigued with ranching, (including all those horses, the environment (s) ), and all that jazz, for quite some time, ..., -!- -!- -!- . However, regretfully, I grew up in the "rust belt", (Ohio), with -NO- damned horses -!- -!- -!- -!- -!- . ( That's why I need something called -EXPERIENCE- ,..., ) -!- -!- -!- . I have tried to get an E-mail-, (and have gotten one), so that I can write to ranchers. One of them happens to be in Alzada, Montana, (to be exact). His name happens to be Ed Lawrence, plus I discovered him through U-Tube,..., .That's nice,..., .I happen to be Hon-Zee. Hon-Zee Fon-Zee, ( the "new fangled" Fon-Za-Relli ). That happens to be so -!- -!- -!- . I
increase stocking rate... minimize overgrazing... bunch your grazes in tight heards....introduce breeds adopted to ur environment! This will save your ranch and your way of life!
Nick Gantchev wow...I bet he’s glad you came along. I’m sure he never thought of any of that 🤦♂️

It’s hard for a family ranch to be passed down through the generations since the greedy government wants to take a piece of it through inheritance taxes every time it goes to the next generation. It’s sad that ranches have to be run by a corporation with fingers in several different pies besides ranch if. The government has gotten too big and too intrusive!!
What is he wearing in the neck??? is a bandana? @1:18
liquid8000 its a wild rag!
México. Ok..
South of San Antonio Texas is the place to explore the capital cowboy State of the world south of bandera TX
And what's really sad is that there is no horses ranchses round North TX not like there used to be
wym? there are tons of ranches near here. I was a ranch hand up until a few weeks ago so I could take time off before I go to the marines and they always needed people.
i wish i was working in a ranch than in corporate world
im here after watching Yellowstone in Netflix
What part of Mexico?? He grew at ranch with mexicans
How does one become this?
It's not as easy of a life
A ranch owner? Win the lottery or inherit it.
Red dead brought me here
Everyone in the comment section trying to input how they should do things like these people havent, yanno, been ranching cattle their entire lives....
Am I the only country boy here but let me tell you city boys something any nothing better than feeling free working out in nowhere. But let me tell you something some of the best cowboys I’ve seen came from places where the only place they’ve seen a cow was in there plate get out there. Now one last thing to remember is your bottom rank lower that the country kids working next to you because they have experience in labor you more than likely don’t so you any gonna get paid good until you work good
no esta en español?
Wankers, run them through some yards... a lot less stressful , far less dumbucks on horses. Economically, it is easy and less stressful on the calves... OMG... 100,000 acre ranches in Australia are called farms. Gol'Darn.... you murkins are awesome...
floot everyone is glad you stopped by. Thanks for your contribution
“...run them through some yards” he says. “A lot less stressful” 😂😂😂😂😂.
Who is here from Gather round?
cowboys are Mexican 🇲🇽 that culture is Mexican they adopted it or rather they stole it. and that hurts them because they don't like Mexicans but they also like our culture 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽 viva México 🇲🇽🤠🐎🌵🏜️🍺🍻 Ajuua.
If you live your life as a rancher.....forget about traffic, stupid neighbors, and no stress!!!!!
doesnt the branding hurt the animal tho?:( Aint it other choices? I bet they brand em like that to save money.
i am from Mumbai India, I like western outfit and is fan of the western lifestyle etc while growing up i used to wonder i wiould go to the US and wrok there on a ranch all i wanted is to wear the cowboy outfit specially the jeans and the boots and i was alright if they didnt pay me i just wanted to be a cowboy on an American ranch hahahahahaha what a dream hahahahaha
Haha found an Indian chalo I am not alone watching them 😅😊
spanish?
I think ranching is going to make a comeback since the more capitalistic, factory farming, has gotten a bad rep for being inhumane and cruel. this will lead people to start buying from free range cattle coming from ranches. so in my opinion the best time to enter is now before you see it start to rise again.
There should be a limit for one person who can own so much land. It is not right just because you have more money than others so you can possess large land.
Okay I can be a slave or anything, just take me there.
branding is barbaric!
It has to be done . It's to keep from getting cows stolen . Ear tags can be removed brands not doneasy so it necessary
Didn't The American Indians own that . And Manage it.
Javier Garcia yep, than they lost it. Kinda like the Mexicans did with Texas.
All the way up to the day they were conquered
Remmy Mills ummm no Texas had a revolution two different things
