The Rancher The Rancher

With news of the U.S. Forest Service culling cattle in the Gila National Forest last month, I felt it was a good time to provide information on the Wild Horse and Burro problem in America. The population of Wild Horses and Burros has climbed North of 82,000 in the last year and current management strategies are not capable of achieving the appropriate management level "AML" of around 26,000. Join me today to learn more about how this issue is causing problems across the nation.

This is the second in our three part series on C.C. "Lum" Slaughter. The Lazy S Ranch was Slaughter's plan to build an "insurance policy" for his descendants. Contemporary to Charles Goodnight, and a witness to the Fence Cutting wars, Slaughter built his ranches in the golden age of ranching just after the days of the major cattle drives. Tune into to day's episode to learn how this famous Texan and how he built his 250,000+ acre ranch in West Texas!

Join me today in learning more about the legendary rancher C.C. Slaughter and his Texas Empire.
From his Wikipedia: Christopher Columbus Slaughter (a.k.a. C.C. Slaughter or Lum Slaughter) (1837–1919) was an American rancher, cattle drover and breeder, banker and philanthropist in the Old West. After serving in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War of 1861–1865, he came to own 40,000 cattle and over one million acres of ranch land in West Texas. He became the largest taxpayer in Texas, and used his wealth to endow Baptist institutions. He was known as the "Cattle King of Texas."
