Hey! 👋
Thanks for watching! Join our community HERE: bit.ly/3HC36EH
And great news. It rained at the O6 Ranch recently!
Ranch country in Oregon has been rained on as well.
Peter,
Did you ask them, _"What's the one_ ☝️ _thing?"_
Great job Peter, best one yet!!!! What a huge ranch. I think the last time I looked that ranch was 376,000 acres. It’s huge, it has 10 watering ponds, all parcels are deeded. It’s a very desirable property.
I'm looking forward to next video, and hoping for perspective on a smaller operation also. Though I do value this perspective as well!
There is so much to learn from older folks, of all walks of life. And I'm 50. Thanks for this one Peter.
From ghettos to ranching, this channel is gold! Thanks for showing us the real America!
Thanks Soleimani! I'm trying my best to show as many angles as possible.
@@PeterSantenello Hey Peter, which country are you planning to visit next? Your adventures abroad are second to none, probably the most realistic channel on RUclips.
@@PeterSantenello Just absolutely love your content my friend. Keep at it. This one brought back great memories of a flight where I was sitting next to a most wonderful rancher lady. It was such an interesting conversation...such a unique lifestyle so different to mine.
Yes Peter - thank you. Your channel is truly unique in that you're trying to understand the diaspora of American subcultures (and foreign as well) without preconceived judgements. It's not that easy to elicit trust from others.
more indigenous content would be a crucial part of your already well-rounded look at the US!
She is such a strong woman. ‘One foot in front of the other’ - this made sense after hearing she lost her son. How else would you take life?
She's an idiot. Cows and horses aren't predators Seems she's grifting a rich old man. At least he seems happy. And BTW don't ask the old man about how she has to gain.
As an Arab Bedouin watching this right now, from somewhere in the Arabian Desert, not far from the Empty Quarter, grazing with my herd of 65 camels. This was truly a treat. I’d love to visit America just to get to ride with cowboys, and get a feel for mustangs and stallions, be they in Texas or Montana. I’d love to own a cattle ranch one day as well. I bet they’d love to ride some Arabian horses too. I know perfectly well, that feeling of wanting to escape the city. I work in downtown Abu Dhabi, my hometown. I was born and raised here. But as soon as I get the chance, sometimes during the workweek, after work, I’d go to the outskirts of the city, to be able to be near to the desert as much as I can. It’s my much-needed breath of fresh air I guess. So, given that yesterday was the last day of work, before a long 4-day Eid break. I immediately went for the Western Region, getting 260 km away from my office lol.
Thank you for this Peter, and God bless those amazingly awesome people. I hope they get to keep the ranch forever. Since 1912, wow! That was the same year titanic sunk, 110 years ago!
I'm from America and my family had a pure bred Arabian horse when I was a kid, she was a very good and smart horse
as a texan myself, i have to say that you have the right spirit
you’re just as texan as i am, even if you’re on the far side of the world 🤠
Thank you partner 🤠 much obliged.
I’ve been saying that same thing about you guys, when I saw my first John Wayne movie on TCM as a kid in the 90s.
@@khalidalali186 it’s funny you mention the city, I drive in to work in the city as an Uber Driver and then drive out into the countryside to return home, i grew up in a town like this one and i love animals, so even if economic activity brings me to the city, a lot of us don’t like to live in the city
i imagine we have some similar experiences 🤠🐪
I’m an Oklahoman which is the state right above Texas but a very similar culture just with more Native American ties and you are more American than some people we got up in the White House.One day I hope you can come and see Texas and this part of the US. Love from Arcadia, Oklahoma.
I am always impressed by farmers, ranchers, and others who choose to continue a legacy and work the land. It's not about getting the most money, but about integrity and stewardship of what they have. I wish there were more who followed this path.
Vaqueros are the foundation of the cowboy 🤠
traditionalists, great!
The saddest misconception of cowboys and people who choose to work hard for a living is that they're dumb uneducated hateful racist people and that almost always seems to be the furthest from the truth. I live in the northeast and I witnessed people talk that way about farmers my whole life. It's sad cause it looks like a very gratifying life, hard but beautiful. We never know any people till we walk a mile in their shoes and share a dinner table. Thank you Peter for these videos that give me hope in a world obsessed with identity and splintering us apart based on those identities. Your videos make me smile and remind me that everyone deserves the time for understanding cause you will find the true beauty hidden in mankind.
They're not racist maybe, but they're voting and lobbying for the racists politicians sadly
Perfectly put! 👏🏻👏🏻
@@lag1851 oh geez shut up.
Here, here! Well said.
Well said
I wish I could have this kind of life. I’m a developer sitting behind a computer all day and feel so disconnected from the world and how life was intended to be lived. My grandfather was a farmer, but family farming is no longer a viable living. So sad. Corporate America killed it. Believe most of the mental health issues are related to people being so far removed from the land.
I’m a budding developer too. Being removed from the land, survival, nature, food is definitely big trouble. But don’t forget to get outdoors and away from computers. I forced myself to get out, best decision ever.
"most of the mental health issues are related to people being so far removed from the land" 🎯✅👍 I actually know a couple with 4 kids leaving their jobs as lawyers and starting a farm in the US..they have cattle,sheep etc. and they ship meat all around the US and run a burger house..they might be working more physically but they run their own business and seem to be at peace in their ranch life.
You can still enjoy the country life. I have a job in town and live out in the country with horses and cattle. As Ronald Reagan said, “There’s nothing so good for the inside of a man as the outside of a horse.”
You should start running or trail running
Also, check out Just A Few Acres. I believe he was an architect in NYC, quit and now supports his family on a 30 acre farm in New York. Proof it can be done, but it’s not easy.
People often ask why we’d want to live in Oklahoma and Texas. It’s the character and kindness of the people in this area. You can see the hardworking ethics and general kindness of this area of the country in the 06 Ranch family.
No matter where I go, I can tell when I return to Texas just by the people in the rural areas.
My heart ❤️ goes out to both ranchers loosing their son in Afghanistan I was there in 2005-2006 got attacked one time, almost lost my life other 2 times greetings from Brownsville Texas
thank you for your service
As a Pashtun/Afghan it made me so sad, what an unnecessary loss of life and politicians put us back to the position we were in 2001. That young man could've a great life at his ranch.
GILBERTO, MAY YOUR LIFE BE BLESSED. No amount of Thanks can replace what you went through
@@davidmiller-zf8zl which service, ur country should of minded its own business
@@aerokasyeal4840 isn't there a river somewhere that you should be emptying your bowels into?
"There is always somebody wanting something that you have" - Love this statement, so true
True ... America’s would be shocked if they knew how much farmland Gates and China have bought in this country.. its staggering-and scary too!
Vaqueros are the foundation of the cowboy 🤠 and had their land stolen
Best quote ever “Food has been glamorized” … Thanks to these genuine folks, sure one of a kind and thanks to you Peter for sharing their story.
For sure. People nowadays imagine food comes like in Star Trek thingies....But fk, meat or farmed food is a lot of work, hard work and yea, def not paid enough.
Yes. Love that way of putting it. Kinda goes back to a commercial on Orange juice a few years back. Shelf was empty so the lady waited and a hand stuck out another container for her to put in the cart. So many think it’s just coming from those shelves. What they don’t know. Sad
Water comes from a faucet, food comes from the fridge, electricity comes from the wall. Woke logic.
I believe the cave people glamorous meat when they got fire 🔥 😳
From a vet, sorry for your loss and we appreciate your son’s service. Thank you both as well for your hard work in Ranching (only 1.3% of Americans)
I think I rode this man's horse at the Jobe ranch with team semper fi. Said the horses was from the O6. Thank you so much for what you do for us vets. When she talks about how pumped we are to get out and ride she's 100 percent on point! I thank you for your service good sir. Your son is a hero God bless
Hello, how are you doing today and how’s the weather out there?
Vaqueros are the foundation of the cowboy 🤠
"I let my hair go grey and I haven't opened a door in 10 years." haha LOVE that 😄Cowboys are gents. Love this series Peter! Can't wait for the next episodes!
I didn't want it to end! Can't wait for the next episode!
Me too, I was waiting for this episode for a good while! Hope this is a long series 🙏
A someone who grew up working on a cattle ranch that was also a horse breeding & training facility here in Alberta, I can tell you this way of life is something that you absolutely HAVE to love. It’s part of your soul, and it saddens me to see so many good, hardworking folks having to let it go.
Really enjoyed this one. Thanks so much!
Vaqueros are the foundation of the cowboy 🤠
I grew up in Weat Texas for the first 18 years of my life and watching this video, I feel like I'm listening to my grandparents talking about their own farm/ranch all over again.
What town ?
I live in Oklahoma but my uncle lives and owns a few ranches in Texas (noticeably Turkey Track, but I think they are selling because of hard times of something) and I love being out there. Riding horses and doing stuff like hunting and herding cattle is fun, but can be very challenging. I am still a cowboy in my heart even though I only do it every few months. (I live in Arcadia)
Thank you for your expert interview of the cattle rancher. The 3030 land grad caught my attention as I inherited a farm which my grandpa was granted in the Oklahoma run of 1893. We will research it to ensure our rights are not taken away. This is the best interview I have witnessed in my lifetime and I’m 69 years old.
I wish this comment was highlighted. We all need to look into the 3030 land grad.
I saw a show about that..
insane they can do that..
taxes are out this world
Did you ever witness UFOs or UFO related cattle mutilations? Sounds like a random question but it’s somewhat common for ranchers to have descriptions of this
@@MS-tc2fs Peter will have to go to Skinwalker for that! Think you'd have to have big balls to go and stay there for a week!
That little 5 second comment was the most important of this entire series.
Thanks for finally making a video about working citizens that contribute to the greatness of this nation and don’t blame anyone else while doing it.
Great episode. People will never truly understand how dedicated you have to be to something like this. People often talk about and refer to athletes when speaking about dedication. Athletes have off seasons, athletes retire at relatively young ages, athletes can choose to take a few days off if needed. This life you do it from sun up to sun down, from adolescent till you're so old you cant walk, there is no season its year round, rain or shine, when the moneys good and when the moneys bad, it is truly an entire life of dedication and commitment. The worst part of it all is that no matter how hard or how well you farm and produce the people in the cities and states you're producing for will never acknowledge you appreciate the fact that you produced something they will then put in their stomachs.
❤️
Amen! People in the cities, for the most part, are clueless about the things that sustain them.
Vaqueros are the foundation of the cowboy 🤠
Oh yes, the recession is hitting W TX ranches very hard. Drought, border issues, cattle hard to sell & people selling off herds. our way of life is getting harder. We thank you for telling our TX ranching story.
Fuel and border security, taxes on livestock and imminent domain.
Hello, how are you doing today and how’s the weather out there?
Imagine having kids and telling them, you see as far as your eye can see (it all belongs to you 🙏)
That is a lot of responsibility, especially as rancher
I'm not american, but always lived in the countryside, it's good to see the countryside spirit is the same.
What a beautiful couple, I wish them well in these tough times. People are so critical of farmers at times, here in the UK without farmers we have no landscape, no food etc etc they deserve much more respect.
For the farmers not to sell out to developer's says so much about thier integrity. This way of life needs to be preserved at all cost. God Bless these farmers! 🙏
I love the way they live, major respect to them!
It's not so hard when you inherit everything.
Vaqueros are the foundation of the cowboy 🤠
All the best to Chris and Dawn, and the 06 Ranch! You went through a lot, not only in business. But you kept going. Most of us sell ourselves out for jobs that don't produce worthy output. But it is our lifestyle that has such a negative impact on ranchers, farmers, and animals. I'm sorry! I'm changing. You live the life you want, no matter what comes at you and I have so much respect for that. Hopefully, you won't be forced to change anymore, so you can live happily how you used to. I totally understand you and I could watch and listen for hours. Thank you for sharing and opening up. Best wishes from Germany!
Peter, I was waiting for this episode and I'm looking forward to the next one. You are a great content creator and entertainer! :)
..yes @ai-mods, more yes is not possible. which just brings me to a question... third video? that would be so awesome.
Because of the lack of rain,
It, would not be wrong to sell
some of the land. The way I see it, too much land, can be as
bad as not enough land.
The big city people, that are moving to Texas, is good news.
Texas is in need of more money.
Sell some land, but, not all of it.
Enjoy, life, work less, don't live to reget selling.

Thank you Peter. You touched on a sad episode of that family’s loss at 22:35. You kept it respectful with her. Your work did not go unnoticed.
Keep it respectful my family the DeLeon settlers lost many land to the Europeans
@@albertdeleon6272 And before the Europeans another tribe was taking you over and the tribe before them. Lets not play games and pretend that Europeans were the only ones who conquered.
That couple is so amazing. They have wonderful souls. My parents and grandparents come from the hills of west Virginia and Kentucky but I grew up in metro/rural Ohio. However I grew up visiting my ancestors in the hills. These folks' hearts remind me of those ancestors. Good, hardworking people. They are the backbone of this wonderful land we call America.

I'm a West Virginian who moved to Texas 37 years ago. The people of both states have similar outlooks on life (speaking of the more rural Texans).
Country folk are quiet and private for the most part. You asked more questions than they probably talk about in a year or two. These folks are the soul of country; work hard, stay humble.
"There's always somebody wanting something that you have." Is such a true statement.
Not a week goes by that I don't have someone stopping by my mini-farm wanting to buy something on my property.
Not a for sale sign in sight, but they think you should sell because they want.
It becomes very nerve wracking.
I'm at the point of putting up a sign that reads
"NOTHING ON THIS PROPERTY IS FOR SALE. DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO ASK. JUST GO AWAY."
Reminds me of a story my dad told me about my granddaddy. Papa was a WWII veteran and raised 6 kids after the war. He worked on a towboat, raised a garden,hauled lime, and fixed cars for people. He had several old cars sitting on the property. One time a guy pulled up in the driveway and asked if the cars were for sale. Papa gruffly said “By God do you see a damn for sale sign?!” And probably exchanged a few more pleasantries as he escorted the man back to his vehicle. My dad told me that he never understood why Papa acted that way until he got older. The cars weren’t for sale. He worked hard to get them running and to use them to hunt, farm, or for spare parts.
You know what, I would give anything to meet and become helpers to any ranchers in my area. I would go and help them just to stand alongside them and listen to their stories. I'd be glad to cook, clean, do some healing,, But! I do understand what you mean by telling them you don't much care for people.
Thanks Peter. I am a city boy who appreciates the farmers of all kinds and their story needs to be told so much more than ever before.
My family is from Uvalde, Texas and since the recent tragedy I’ve been able to share what I experienced growing up with my young sister in-law who is Iranian but grew up in very suburban Houston. Thank you for sharing this experience with people so they can understand we take things for granted and show them that God does exist because he is all over west Texas.
Hello, how are you doing today and how’s the weather out there?
Alright alright alright country Carlos 😂???
There is no other channel that captures the american experience quite like yours! Every ep absolutely fascinating!
I appreciate the way you let them tell their story. You went in with no preconceived notion that predicated your questions. You could see how they really opened up to your genuine interest. Really well done. Thanks!
My grandparents and my mom as well as myself grew up on what used to be the Hunt/Cartwright ranch in Forney Texas and after my granddaddy had a stroke and couldn't manage the ranch anymore it eventually got sold off and now it's a big housing development called Windmill Farms and it completely and totally doesn't even look like the same place anymore. And it breaks my heart. But life changes all the time and we go on. But I was blessed to live that kind of life for over half my years alive. They didn't go to the grocery store they grew and produced everything we ate. I eventually got my own little farm in east Texas and then became a blacksmith and custom knife maker and after a few years I sold everything and moved to the mountains of northern New Mexico where my family and I live now and we have a small farm that we raise all kinds of animals and we have a nice garden and I do my steel work and we love it. I understand this type of lifestyle and it's really sad just how disconnected people are from what is truly important to life. That old man is right when he says if it wasn't for agriculture no one would eat. I don't know I could go on forever talking about stuff like this but I won't. I do think it would do every body good to go and spend a week working on a ranch and they'd have a completely different state of mind about life. I guess that could be said about a lot of things though.
These people are really nice, it's heartbreaking to hear about the drought and how it has affected them
God bless America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@A p What options? The best way to adapt is to sell the land to private developers.
@A p make it rain. can you?
Can't wait to see more out of this series. Peter, please do note the difference between just west, central, and eastern cowboys in just Texas! The difference in terrain, cattle breed, and cowboy methods
Yeah.
The whole world thinks Texas is just 1 big desert.
I've been in Texas my whole life 36 years South Texas and the Houston area and have never seen the desert.

Thank you for appreciating and respecting our ranchers! As I’m sure you realized, West Texas is unlike anywhere else in the US! The heat, landscape, and mixed American/Mexican culture makes it a place that is truly unique and special! Thank you for spotlighting this region of the country and the folks who keep our nation moving!
its pretty similar to east new mexico LOL

I was born and raised in big cities in 2 countries. But I always felt the “call” of the countryside. When I was through military training in the desert I felt that call stronger.
Now I’m in my 40s and waiting to be retired to move into the countryside and find a little peace.
You're only in your 40's and already waiting to retire?
@@Danimal77 Im Israeli, i been serving since 18 as a carreer officer, im a 2 times war veteran and part of a special unit. The age of retirement for me is 45/50 since im still on field duty. So yes, im already waiting for retirement of the military path to go into civilian work.
@@Danimal77 Why tho? its old enough to retire and young enough to start some shop
Thank you so much Peter for an amazing video on the Ranch. May Chris and Dawn, and Families of the Ranch be blessed with all they need.
Thank you so much Peter for bringing us along to meet CHRIS DAWN AND JASPER .Super awesome to learn the life of the cowboys.Never worked on a cowboy ranch but its on my bucket list .Thanks for all you do 06 Ranch .Seems like a hard life but a rewarding one
Peter learning new practical skills while interviewing such as checking the tank and locking the gate!
Some of my most cherished memories are riding in a pickup on a dirt “road” in eastern Colorado.... Thanks to the 06 for hosting Peter! PS- that’s the best way to have a lunch 👍
Did you ever witness UFOs or UFO related cattle mutilations? Sounds like a random question but it’s somewhat common for ranchers to have descriptions of this
@@MS-tc2fs I grew-up in a very rural area in SE Colorado, never witnessed anything like that. Definitely a lot of big skies though! Seeing thunderstorms that are many miles away is incredible.. multiple lightning flashes per second.
Peter,.. my husband and I really enjoy all of your content, but this is by far the BEST one EVER! We cannot wait for part 2. This is so awesome, nobody understands how hard the farmers work, and just all of the work that goes into getting that precious food from the farm to the store. Go deeper on this topic! Anyhow. . Blessings from Montana. 🙏💕
Thank you! I just got back from Montana and will have some ranching/cowboy videos for you from your great state in weeks to come.
I hope there's a part 3,4,and 5 too.
Oh awesome!!!
640,000 acres. Whoooooo!
GENUINE LOVELY CONTENT! America through your lens is exactly what this great place is about. I moved from Europe to Texas and I found a home on a farm in West Texas. Hard work, simple life, real life. I have never felt more alive than here. Exactly what I have always wanted deep in my soul but did not know what it was until I found it here in Texas. My second home :-) I admire all ranchers and farmers out there. One of the best people! You did an outstanding job here, Peter.
Love how your work is so broad, Peter! Thanks for sharing this rancher’s life with us!

Hello, how are you doing today and how’s the weather out there?
Being a 65 yr old Texas gal that was raised on cattle ranching in 60's and 70's. Dad was working cattle on horseback when he suffered final heart attack over 20 yrs. ago. Just the way he would have wanted. Born in the 30's....raised on horses. Said you knew you were good when you can mount up with a watermelon under each arm...lol....no saddle...just reins. We raised black Angus with white face Herefords. Had few horses but did some work on foot (close to corral). Can still taste that dust. Mom worked at home...and I do mean "worked". Nobody ever touched the taste of her "Angel bisquits" or fried chicken. Sewed my wedding dress in "75" as well as my 2 bridesmaids dresses. Took a cake decorating class and I still brag with pictures. At 86 .....she remembers it all. Small country church wedding...complete with folks I'd known most of my 18 yrs. of life. A lifestyle I'm proud to acknowledge. Glad to see it's still going.
But are you sacrificing to give your children the same opportunities?

I've been to Alpine, TX many times and I believe that the stars on a moonless night have never been seen as clear or as bright at night as in Alpine, TX.
I'm not half way through this video and I love it. I've done a lot of roughnecking in west Texas. My great great grandfather passed away on a ranch in West Texas and was buried on that ranch. I'm so proud of my Texas heritage. It breaks my heart to see the beautiful places I looked up on as a child starting to disappear to development. God bless Texas.
I am from NYC & since I moved to this hell hole I always hated it, the skies are grey, the stars are to never be seen, the air is impure, the people are rude, lack values and morals amongst many other things! I have always felt out of place like I belong somewhere else where the skies are as blue as the ocean and where I could see the horizon from every corner where my eyes can take me! Hopefully one day I will move in a quiet place & embrace the way to connecting back with nature ☺️
“Hell hole” I’m sorry made me laugh 😂I went to nyc last year I know what you mean.
But you have chipotle and starbeez ☕️
I grew up in Soho. Loved it. I still have a loft downtown. I love NY

This was a really good episode. Keep up the great work.
Great to see you back in Texas, on a ranch this time. Love how you capture windows into other ways of life! Looking forward to your next post!
So sorry for the loss of your dear son, thank you for the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
Good people fill my heart.
Chris hit the nail on the head, quality people with a positive impact to their environment and those they come in contact with. Love this guy's unbiased approach and great personality. Keep on keepin on. Can relate to these people and living on the border in ranch country
@peter santenello we farm in central kentucky. Hay, corn, soybeans, wheat, background steers, have momma cows and sell finished beef. This is awesome that you’re interviewing these people. More of America needs to see what goes into producing their food. Above 90% of American ag is still a family business!
Wow! Love this episode. Ranchers and farmers are so important to us, but we know so little about their lives and what they do. I can't wait to see the next episode.
Excellent. I love to sit down with those two and spend an afternoon in the shade listening to them! Great, down-to-earth people!
I'm so sorry for the loss of your son. I know he's resting in peace but I know you miss him. 🇺🇸 may God continue to bless you and give you peace.
I think he lost his leg not his life. I think.
I’m a homesteader and I love this video god bless them and the farmers !!! I’m a small guy in a big pond
favorite youtuber. every sunday I am thinking how Peter will surprise us!
I know that man is proud to have that women by his side. You can tell she’s smart and knows her stuff
I will always be pro farmers. I have great memories from when my dad was a ranch hand on a dairy farm. Love the ranch life!!!
Nothing but blessings to these wonderful people. People like them, and military personnel, are the true heroes amongst all of humanity on Earth.
This whole channel is pure gold, thank you!
omg they are so wholesome together 40:52 gosh she reminds me of my own grandma. may she rest in peace
Veterans and Farmers deserve all the thanks we can give
God Bless Chris & Dawn. I hope the farm can stay in the family for another 100 years.
Really great to see the love they have for their ranch. They seem like great people.
The woman sounds like she's about to burst out crying at any second...
She's sick right now and almost couldn't do the video.
@@PeterSantenello Thanks for the explanation!
I absolutely love this channel!!! From hanging out in Jewish country in New York,to hanging out in west Texas, with the Cowboy !! Peter you’re a fascinating young man with an old soul!!! Blessings from Oklahoma 🙏🏻💜🙏🏻
Each episode just gets better and better. Thank you for all you do 👏🏻
Awesome, awesome episode Peter! Shed more light on these rancher's and farmer's they are the back bone of everything we know. We are losing people like this all through out Texas.
lmao this was so goofy 6:44 horse just slowly puts its head into the convo like "here im here too"
My husband is a cattle hauler and gets to talk to folks like this often. It's an education and humorous. They're a different breed. 😊
We're being forced to sell our 4th generation family farm in North Central Texas due to new housing developments surrounding us. What used to be rich, fertile land is now covered in concrete and houses. Still cry almost every day because of this :( I just want people to stop moving here.
damn im sorry to hear that :( that must be hard for you , how you doing now?
Main TV style docu-series. Love your work! I appreciate how open minded and non-judgmental you are
Great Video Peter! Seemed like wonderful people. Loving your videos
I’ve always wanted to see West Texas. America is so varied! Our government and people should remember that and learn how laws, opinions and attitudes impact every area and people.
Love this! Best to Chris and Dawn. They are just wonderful people. Can’t wait for the next one.
Excellent video, Peter! Very much looking forward to part 2. I moved up into Wisconsin for a few years for solitude and to relax my brain, and it did me well. I worked on a dairy farm for awhile and lived on their land in a little house just like the one in the video. This is hard work but one that makes you feel a sense of pride. Agriculture is the backbone of every Nation..without farming/ranching there would be nothing. I say this about truckers too, they keep America moving. Every day they'd pull into the farm and pump all the milk into their trailers and haul it away. The guy I worked for sold his milk to Land O' Lakes for 25cents per liquid pound. Its a helluva job and is literally backbreaking and very tiresome, you work from 3:30am til about 11am and take a small break and then right back at it at 2/3pm for the second milking and work til 8pm. This is 7 days per week, 365 days per year with no days off(for the owner). Its a way of life that spans over generations. Also, I can attest to the rotten Government that buts in your business and forces you to comply with their assanine regulations and to spray certain chemicals on YOUR land and on YOUR crops, etc.. its downright despicable how much the Government puts their sticky fingers into your family's business and in your pocket.
You’re my favorite youtuber and I click on your videos right away. Love your perspective and openness. Hope you keep making these USA videos for years and years to come! I’ll watch every single one!
12:20 The word brand comes from ranching. My mind is blown. No joke.
Peter you ruined it 😂 I can’t wait for part 2! Your stories are wonderful. Covering all races, religions, lifestyles good or bad. How could anyone not want you to do a story on them! Thank you. You need a Patreon for early access
Great work, it’s people like that who made Americans great !
HELL YEAH BROTHER love this old cowboy down to earth people
I grew up in West Texas. I love that you made this video. All your videos are great!
Chris and Dawn are awesome! They remind me of my grandparents and I love that they're going strong with the rancher lifestyle. God bless both of them and you Peter! ❤
Edit: THEYRE SO CUTE W THE HOMEMADE COOKIES 🥺
Wonderful episode Peter. What a great family these people are. Salt of the earth. Looking forward to Part 2.
Thank you so much for show casing this special subculture of America. My grandfather raised cattle his whole life. Though he has passed on now, this video made me feel close to him again.
Farming/ranching is a beautiful and important way of life. Grateful for your stellar work in highlighting the variety of both the urban and rural communities present in the USA.
Fantastic story of great people and generational ranching,❤
This is one of your best ones yet, really enjoyed the first episode. I would love to see a series on an old school traveling circus ... this has really piqued my interest for such a long time and after seeing one recently and reading up on their story the fascination grew they travel all over the world yet here they were in my small town in Scotland. I think it would be a great subject for you Peter! Thanks again :)
