To kick off the new year, Molly talks with one of our newer customers Angela Bivens with White Stone Ranch.  Angela and Darrell's ranch is located in central Texas in the midst of the Fairy Mountain Range. Their adventure began with an unexpected purchase of a Longhorn heifer at a fundraising event for The Longhorn Project at the Johnson Space Center. This young heifer hooked them on their love for longhorns after she, Kettlles Ginger Snap, after she had great success within the futurities with the highlight being the High Point Female in the 2021 and 2022 Millennium Futurity. Although their journey has just begun, hear what they have learned so far, what they may have done differently and what they like to do when they are not putting up fence, working hay or feeding the longhorns.

Happy New Year from Hired Hand!

In honor of the University of Texas playing in the Peach Bowl tomorrow, we have a special podcast for you. Today, Molly talks with her longtime mentors and friends, John and Betty Baker from Sunrise Ranch near Austin, Texas. John and Betty Baker are well known in the Longhorn breeding community for their breeding and their involvement with the youth in their camp and their volunteering within longhorn organizations. However, they may be best known for the celebrity that they raised from a baby to an adult, the University of Texas' mascot - Bevo! Bevo is arguably the most famous Texas Longhorn steer. Join us today to hear how the Bakers became the owners of Bevo 13, 14 and today's 15, how they started in the longhorn industry and their legacy with the youth and their years providing a camp for kids at their ranch.

Today, Molly continues with the second part in our 2 part series discussing the most viewed longhorns for the entire year to date, but this week they talk bulls. Today's guests are Ryan Culpepper and Chase Vasut.  The three of them will discuss lifetime stats, tip to tip public measurements and many more stats. Today's trivia question, "How many trailers lined up, end to end, does it take to equal the length of total tip to tip measurements from all our Hired Hand websites?"  Who will be closest to the correct answer? Chase warmed up with some math during the podcast, but will that help him out? Listen today to hear the answer but also to learn a wealth of information regarding some awesome history making Longhorn Bulls.
