    What Longhorn Experience Teaches with Mark Hubbell, Hubbell Longhorns

    In this episode of From the Pasture with Hired Hand, we sit down with Mark Hubbell of Hubbell Longhorns in Hastings, Michigan, for a conversation rooted in legacy, growth, and passion. A 5th-generation cattle rancher, Mark’s family operation dates back to the late 1800s, evolving from a dairy and crop farm into the thriving Texas Longhorn, beef, and crop enterprise it is today. From placing Longhorn horns on the front of his winter beater in high school to receiving his first Longhorn as a Christmas gift in 1995, Mark shares how a simple fascination turned into a lifelong calling. Today, Hubbell Longhorns spans roughly 900 acres, running about 250 head, with an impressive 125–150 calves expected in 2026. Through careful selection, retaining top heifers, and strategic herd growth, Mark has built a program focused on both quality and scale. We also talk about the next generation—how his son Garrett joined the program and helped expand the herd—and what the Longhorn experience has taught Mark about patience, perseverance, and passion.

    We’re gearing up for Battle On The Prairie Longhorn Futurity 2026 on April 24th in Duncan, Oklahoma, and in this presale episode we’re joined by Josh Dinwiddie of Plain Dirt Farms, the team presenting this year’s event. Josh shares what makes Battle on the Prairie a can’t-miss stop—built to showcase Longhorn evolution at its finest and bring the industry together in one electric setting. Battle on the Prairie is a heifer and bull futurity focused on identifying select heifer calves that can mature into the elite, productive cows of tomorrow. We talk about the challenge of predicting which calves will become the best three-year-olds, the value of evaluating cattle and programs side-by-side, and the packed-coliseum atmosphere that includes sponsors and industry insight alongside the competition. We also highlight the youth program, “Sawyer Spotlight,” created to give kids real ring experience with their heifer (parent-escorted) in front of the judges. It’s a non-judged class with announcer Q&A, encouragement, and awards for every participant—designed to build confidence and grow the next generation in this breed. If you’re attending, consigning, or just want to see the future on display, this episode is your preview for April 24th in Duncan, OK.

    Two Livestock Worlds, One Ranch Vision – The Broken Oak Story

    In this episode, we sit down with Brittany Pierce and Kale Pierce of Broken Oak Ranch in Weatherford, Texas to hear how they’re building a ranch rooted in the western lifestyle and driven by a simple mission: raise stock with quality, genetics, and purpose. Brittany and Kale share what goes into developing a Texas Longhorn program focused on balance and beauty—selecting cattle with powerful frames, eye-catching horn sets, and pedigrees backed by proven families, all while honoring and advancing the legacy of the breed. Then we head beyond the pasture and into the barrel horse arena, where Broken Oak competes at rodeos, futurities, and derbies nationwide. We talk about what they breed and look for in true performance horses—heart, athleticism, and longevity—and how that same standard of excellence connects everything they do. Whether you’re a cattle enthusiast, a horse person, or just love a great ranch story, this episode is a look at two livestock worlds united by one clear vision—pride in every stride and every horn.
