They run cows, purchased yearlings for grazing, plus are partners on several feedyards in western Kansas. 
Their no-nonsense, no-frills approach to farming and ranching has served them well for generations, as they have continued to adapt to the times, while expanding their business to include more family members. 
Ryan and his family enjoy youth rodeo and ranch rodeos, plus he serves on several volunteer boards, including the Flint Hills Beef Fest committee.
