    50 Years in the Making: Peter & Heather Sheppard of Sheppard Farm on Apple Hill

    In this episode, we sit down with Peter Sheppard and his daughter Heather Sheppard-Lunn of Sheppard Farm on Apple Hill in south-central Pennsylvania as they look ahead to a milestone 50th anniversary celebration. Peter shares how the fold began in 1976 with just six cows and one bull—and how decades of intentional breeding built a program centered on traditional Scottish Highland standards, calving ease, and foraging ability, resulting in 560+ registered animals in the National Herdbook. Heather talks about launching their direct-to-customer grass-fed Highland beef sales in 2008, growing the herd to serve both beef buyers and brood cow clients, and preparing the next generation as her daughters get involved. Together, they discuss why they carefully screen buyers and what it means to bring home an Apple Hill Highland—clean genetics, classic conformation, and a long-term commitment to the breed.

    50 Acres of Purpose: Montgomery Sky Farm & Final Run Rescue

    Founded in 2018, Montgomery Sky Farm is 50 acres of purpose, passion, and possibility in Western North Carolina—an expression of intentional living where regenerative farming and private dining experiences come together to honor the land and the community around it. In this episode, we sit down with owners Taylor and Fran Montgomery to talk about the vision behind the farm and what it looks like to build something rooted in sustainability, care, and long-term stewardship. We also discuss their animal rehabilitation and rescue work through Final Run Rescue, and how second chances—whether for animals, people, or the soil beneath our feet—shape everything they do. Chef Taylor Montgomery, a James Beard Award Semifinalist (Best Chef: Southeast), shares how his culinary world connects back to the farm, and why they’re committed to pushing boundaries while staying grounded in purpose. As Taylor and Fran put it: you have to keep pushing, because the sky is limitless.

    Mariachi, Margaritas & Corny Dogs: Glendenning Fiesta Sale Weekend

    The Glendenning Fiesta Sale is back for its 3rd Annual celebration in Celina, Texas, happening May 1st and 2nd—and this episode is your preview of the sale experience and the tradition behind it. Hosts Rex & Sherese Glendenning reflect on the legendary Fiesta Sale days at Red McCombs Ranch in the mid-’80s—complete with mariachi music, margaritas, and top breeders arriving in unforgettable fashion—and how those memories helped shape their love for the breed and the people who stand behind it. Four decades later, Rex and Sherese are proud to carry that spirit forward with a sale that honors Red McCombs and the legacy he built. From the elite cattle brought by consignors who “dig deep,” to the fellowship that makes Longhorn weekends special, the Glendenning Fiesta Sale is more than a sale—it’s a gathering. Set along the historic Shawnee Trail, where Texas Longhorns once helped shape the American West, this weekend invites you to enjoy great cattle, warm community, and the chance to find that special heifer or cow to move your program forward—while making memories that last (and yes—the famous corny dogs will be there, too!).

    Consistently Inconsistent: What Longhorns Teach You About Planning with Mike Crawford, Red Peak Ranch

    In this episode, we sit down with Mike Crawford of Red Peak Ranch—a cattleman with a marketer’s mind and a story that proves how fast one decision can change everything. Mike shares how two Texas Longhorns given as a birthday gift sparked a journey that grew into hundreds of head at its peak, a deep respect for the animals, and a lifestyle built around learning the breed from the ground up. We also talk about the bigger vision Mike and Pam have built along the way, including their processing plant, Local Cuts Meat Co., and why they’re so passionate about Longhorn beef—from the quality of the meat to the importance of doing right by the cattle and the customer. Plus, Mike opens up about how he and Pam’s dedication to CrossFit—and the community it creates—mirrors the Longhorn world in all the best ways: grit, consistency, humility, and the kind of support system that keeps you showing up, learning, and getting better. This conversation is full of practical lessons on planning, adaptability, and staying steady when ranch life (and Longhorns) keep you “consistently inconsistent.” Red Peak Ranch: http://www.texaslonghornbreeder.com/ Local Cuts Meat Co: https://www.localcuts.com/ EatHealthyBeef.com: https://www.texaswholesalebeef.com/ Send us Fan Mail From the Pasture with Hired Hand: Hired Hand Websites (@hiredhandwebsites): https://hiredhandsoftware.com Hired Hand Live (@hiredhandlive): https://hiredhandlive.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hiredhandwebsites/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HiredHandSoftware TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hiredhandwebsites Newsletter: https://www.hiredhandsoftware.com/resources/stay-informed
