Customer Reviews
Great stories
First one I listened to was RA Brown Ranch, and really enjoyed the stories. Have not been disappointed with any of them since!
Great Listening
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 insight into agricultural history
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.
