In this episode of From the Pasture with Hired Hand, Molly chats with Meredith Kirkscey, ranch manager of Holy Cow Ranch in Ben Wheeler, Texas. Just down the road from some of the industry’s top breeders, Holy Cow Ranch began their journey in 2001 with six cows selected purely for color and horn—without knowing exactly what they were getting into.

Meredith shares how far the ranch has come since those early days, learning through trial and error what it takes to build a quality herd. Today, Holy Cow Ranch is focused on producing the complete package: strong conformation, natural maternal instincts, calm demeanor, and impressive horn growth. From early mistakes to hard-earned wisdom, this episode dives into the evolution of a breeding program rooted in passion and persistence.
