    Ancient Leadership, Modern Ranching with Stark Ranch

    In this episode of From the Pasture with Hired Hand, Molly heads to North Texas just north of Gainesville, where the Red River bends and the elevation rolls—home to Stark Ranch and its steady climb as a premier cattle operation. But this isn’t your standard ranching conversation. Molly sits down with Jeremy Townley, Business Lead at Stark Ranch, to talk about an unexpected influence on the way he leads: Attila the Hun. Yep—really. Jeremy shares why that leadership playbook has stuck with him and how its ideas—clear direction, courage, discipline, and staying ready—show up in modern ranch life more than you’d think. As a first-generation rancher overseeing both the cattle and construction sides of a growing enterprise, Jeremy walks through what it takes to build something from the ground up without cutting corners. From people to pastures to projects, this conversation is all about making steady, smart decisions and playing the long game—one season at a time.

    Patience, Pedigrees, and the Long Game with the Cravens Family

    We’re in Cushing, Oklahoma with Austin and Heather Cravens of Big Creek Longhorns—a family outfit where muddy boots, kid chaos, and big-hearted Longhorns all share the same pasture. The Cravens walk us through their “long game” approach: pairing pedigrees with patience, focusing on structure and disposition, and letting time reveal which matings truly click. We talk daily rhythms (and the “did that really just happen?” moments), how the kids pitch in, and why faith, hard work, and humor keep the ranch running. It’s a conversation about simple joys, resilient cattle, and building a program that lasts—one thoughtful cross at a time.

    A Promise in the Pasture: Carrying a Father’s Dream Forward

    In this conversation with Daniel Quintanilla of Siesta Q Ranch, we trace a ranch built on legacy and old-fashioned work. Daniel shares how his late father, Epifanio “Cowboy” Quintanilla, sparked a dream that became a family tradition—one fence post, one long day at a time. As new Texas Longhorn breeders, the family is raising cattle with care and gratitude, keeping the land healthy, and leaning into early mornings and late nights to do the job right. It’s a story about promises kept: honoring a father’s vision, stewarding good ground, and building something better for the next generation.

    Ranching in Idaho: Longhorns, Bloodhounds & Dirtbag Ranch

    This episode we head to Soda Springs, Idaho to visit with Tony and Monica Rosen of Dirtbag Ranch—first-generation Texas Longhorn breeders and well-known Bloodhound breeders/trainers. We dig into how they built a Longhorn program from scratch, what they prioritize in structure and disposition, and how Idaho weather, forage, and terrain shape day-to-day decisions. Then we switch collars to talk Bloodhounds—breeding philosophy, training foundations, and how nose work, patience, and reading behavior carry over to working cattle. Tony and Monica share the realities of juggling two serious programs, winter prep and calving in the high country, fencing and handling for calm cattle, and the community that’s helped them learn fast. It’s a conversation about grit, good dogs, good cattle—and carving out a ranch identity on fresh ground.

    From the Sale Ring to the Pasture: Shawn Sayre on S-A Longhorns & the B&C Legacy

    This week on From the Pasture with Hired Hand, we sit down with Shawn Sayre of S-A Longhorns in Brookfield, Missouri—a name you know both from the sale ring and the pasture. Shawn shares how S-A Longhorns began in 2011, the same year he and Alyson were married, and how their program carries forward a family legacy that started in 1978 when his father founded the B&C Longhorn Sale—a sale the Sayres still run today. We talk herd vision—why S-A prioritizes black-and-white Longhorns, how they pair proven genetics with conformation, horn, and eye appeal, and what day-to-day decisions keep the program consistent. Shawn also pulls back the curtain on Sayre Auction—from Longhorn sales to land, commercial, real estate, machinery, and estate auctions—and how that experience informs both buyer confidence and seller results. It’s equal parts family history, breeder strategy, and auction craft from one of the breed’s most familiar voices.
