My first time seeing you channel...right now. O am the most girliest city girl ever and know Nothing about farming...but this video was Awesome...you land is Beautiful and your cows are Gorgeous...I yearn for this lifestyle...I'm a new sub...thanks for this Wonderful video...
My first time seeing you and your farm is the embodiment of a dream. The longer I live, the more I realize the importance and necessity of self reliance. AfricanAmericans farms and homesteads and self sufficient, prosperous communities are my dream. Although, after reconstruction many successful neighborhoods were razed and the inhabitants murdered and the assets stolen, I feel blessed to see the resurgence of owning land and making it work. God bless you and yours.
If cows had a choice where they would want to be born, all of them would choose Pride Ranch. You’re treating them like precious gold. Great inspiration…❤️❤️❤️
Thanks! I put a ton of time, energy, and effort to care for my cattle. Some friends tell me I might have them spoiled!! :-) I don't mind. I like to keep the cattle in the right body condition.
Just seeing! I must say what a beautiful ranch! You can tell by how the cattle are watching you that you take great care with the care you put into them! Continue with that because they look real healthy! Hope your help is as attentive as you are! Man your open pastures looks good!
I grew up on a farm and hated it when I was young but missed it when I got older and now I have a small one. but man' its good to see brothers owning big farms
Just found your page. I enjoy farmer Tyler Ranch and Sonne Farms on RUclips already. Your set up looks like I will enjoy watching and rooting for your success as well. Now to go back to the beginning and binge watch the earlier videos.
Thanks for stopping by! I'll try my best to share what i'm experiencing. My family and neighbor convinced me to share. If there is something you are interested in, let me know.
I love seeing the calf. They are watching you and the adults very closely. I love it that they are even staying near by with the group instead of wondering or walking off. I love the animals.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I love how you take care and love your cattle and they know this about you and they trust you so much. There are some good cattlemen and some bad ones and you are one of the good ones. Please continue as you are doing a great job with your animals, they looks so healthy and cared for❤❤❤❤❤ love this video watching from here in Mississippi.
@@PrideRanch I am from south Mississippi near Harrisburg down in Columbia ,Mississippi. Country all the way smile, my husband family use to farm this away also, they had lots of mixed cattle and hogs, chickens, goats. They had one goat that would follow me everywhere. I was pregnant at the time and I couldn't run from him but he was homeless so I don't know why I was scared of him, so I got use to him walking with me everywhere. He became a family pet. I don't want to tell you the rest of this story of what happened to him it's to sad to think about. But yes I am from the back woods of Mississippi and very prod to be from the country. Do you ever visit here?
While Angus is king due to a bit of marketing power….one must always be cognizant of the environment. In TX…heat/humidity. Takes a toll. King Ranch developed the Santa Gertrudis breed looong time ago for that reason. Brangus another example of cattle bred for thriving in TX. Nice herd! Like your sustainability mindset.
Love it!!! You are absolutely correct!! I didn’t know this when I started. I gravitated to the Brangus breed. Didn’t know the difference. Then I visited a top Angus ranch in Texas last September. I was amazed to see how they appeared to have a difficult time breathing while covered in shade. Later that day I was back at my place and some of my Brangus were sunbathing and others were grazing.
I’m soo happy and proud to see this in my lifetime and I subscribed today and I am soo eager to start watching you and the progress you’ve achieved bless you 🙏
This is my first time watching your channel. Very beautiful land. Where is your farm state. I’m a city lady and I’ve enjoyed seeing what a day in a life of a cattle rancher is like. Keep up the great work.
Thank you!! And awesome!!! Will you raise cattle too? If so, what kind? Let me know if I can help in any way. I’m building a community of like minded cattle ranchers
hahahahaha.....I like Angus and Brangus. I own 2 registered angus heifers out of 44 Farms. I do notice the Angus have a much more difficult time in Texas heat and humidity.
Greg Judy uses two logs to hold the bales off the ground. Bales might not be as big as yours. But he’s a penny pincher. He buys his hay, it removes fertility from the land.
I was thinking the same thing. When the cattle relieve themselves, it add the nutrients back to the ground. Also, look at increasing your riparian area around your stream. This will give your cattle more room to relax while being in the shady for the hot months. Also, look at White Oak Pasture. He is very good at Ranching. He has been doing for about 30 years now. Cheers!
First time seeing your channel. Those dump truck drivers are basic, I've seen ones that pull off while dumping and it spreads the product out for you. Skills Skills Skills.
Good morning and happy 4th of July! My cattle are grass fed and grained finished. There are strict government regulations to follow to be considered organic.
You can build an inexpensive hay bar using shipping containers and shipping containers and ship and container covers. The 40 foot wide is 23 foot high. You can. Buy front and back walls to those covor walls with flaps. Plus you can use the container for fade and equipment. Not expensive about 15 to $20000.
I heard that if you lay some copper piping in the water troughs it discourages algae growth! My friends that have chickens tried it in their chicken waterers + it worked! 🤷🏽♀️ give it a try?
Don’t want to snoop on finances but…….how do you manage to upgrade your lovely ranch? Do you sell the cattle? Do you send Dinero out to make money through breeding? I know it must take a fortune to keep up your ranch.
Great question! The answer is . . . . . . .planning! The cattle alone can't generate the cash needed at this stage to achieve what I am doing. So I leverage multiple income streams to make it happen. my photography business is one of those www.lydellpride.com.
@@PrideRanch Do you weld build up the 🪨 where the hay gonna sit bevale the sides and front and back. That way when the 💧 run off the tarp down the rock the water won't back up to the hay my 2 cents.
At rogue base, it's not good for your cattle. Get you 340 foot timbers or post. A telephone calls set them 3 foot apart. Stop them will elevate your hay off the ground. You don't want that road based on your feet. But your cattle, because they'll eat it if it's there.
Thanks a ton for this. Sometimes the comments don't come across correctly. So I have some questions. You are saying to get three to four timbers? The post reads three hundrend and forty. Also if you placed them on the ground how do you drive the tractor up each time and not hit the timbers?
Just curious, What would a heifer of that status cost approximately? That girl is show barn perfect. She has the temperament of a show heifer. Simply beautiful. My dad raised red brangus for years in East Texas. Love the content. I no longer work ranch animals now living in the city; however, your channel gives me a glimpse into my youth. Thanks for that. ✊🏿
Black rancher! Hoo Rah! Subbed immediately!
Thank you!!!
haha thats exactly what I said :)

Glad to have found your channel. I’m looking forward to watching you and your animals. You seem to very much care about them.
Indeed I do! Thanks for watching!
I grew up on a farm and hated it when I was young but missed it when I got older and now I have a small one. but man' its good to see brothers owning big farms
There's no better place to be. Where was this? Where did you grow up?
@@PrideRanch I grew up in maryland and land is so expensive here, my farm is in Virginia.... are you in Texas ?
Yeah! I'm located in Hillsboro, TX. I have friends in Maryland. The land is very expensive there.
Your video brought back memories of my childhood. I raised an angus heifer for 4-H. Your herd is manificent and you are handsome. Ijs. Be Blessed!

Just a tip, always strip your topsoils, the top soils will work its way through the road base.
This man is soo handsome!
Thanks for the kind words!
Agreed
all i saw was Black Rancher and immediately subbed!
Appreciate you!
It looks good, please continue towards your goal
I appreciate! More upgrades are coming. Dinero jumped the fence again. So have to double down and figure that one out.
Hey GIRL HAY 🌸🩷🌸They just love you so much 💖God Bless you all ✝️🙏🏻🩷

It can be easier!!! If I can do it, you can! Let me know how I can help!

I enjoy it. Have you located a place where you want to purchase?
Good content about to start my homestead in Mississippi..

I always Wanted to grow Up and be a cowboy Since the 70s❤😅😊
You can do it if I did it!!! Make a plan and make it happen.
Just came across your channel new subscriber❤❤❤❤
Thanks for subscribing. Are you an inspiring rancher? Or do you already own cattle?
Great job👍🏿
Thank you!!
A good herd of cattle keep going brother.
Thank you, I will most definitely try!

Nice video. I just subscribed.
Thanks for the sub!
Those cows are extremely healthy. I commend your expertise. I’m very impress.
Thank you! The goal is to breed and develop high quality cattle.
Nice video. Very pretty land. Just wondering you ever thought about raising bison?
Thanks! I have not. Where would one go to purchase one if you wanted to?
New subscriber..May I ask what state your ranch is? Beautiful cattle...Beautiful Ranch...
Pride Ranch is located in Hillsboro, TX. We are just north of Waco, TX.
Make a hay rack base to keep it off the ground 💯💯💯💯💯👍🏾
🇧🇷 Brazil
Brazil is a perfect place to raise Brangus cattle. 🤩🕺🏽
@@PrideRanch 👍
NEW SUBSCRIBER, LOOKING GOOD
Thank you!! The last video I uploaded shows the finished work. I'm happy with the progress.
Rock on the bottom, as you come up add finer and finer rock or sand.
Thanks for the info. In another video you will see i added the hay to the area. Wish I saw this before I added my hay.
New Subscriber 😊😊😊
Thank you!!!
❤ it
Thanks!!
Beautiful cattle
Many thanks
Have them dump backing up to help pack the entrance
I did. The backside is where the trucks entered. The first truck unloading was at the front side.
RD MACK THAT ALL YOU NEED
So I would use that to have the road base delivered?
Good looking group, but just maybe a little too much ear?? Pure black Angus, the business breed!
hahahahaha.....I like Angus and Brangus. I own 2 registered angus heifers out of 44 Farms. I do notice the Angus have a much more difficult time in Texas heat and humidity.
City boys like me have always wanted to be Cowboys😅😊
I’m city boy turned cattle rancher. I live in Plano. My ranch is in Hillsboro
I live in a concrete jungle. I have never seen so much land. Does you home sit on the property as well?
Good morning! Not yet. I plan on building there in the near future.
Things are looking promising let me ask you are you growing any food for them?
Yes! I grow the grass. To be a successful cattle rancher you have to be able to be a successful grass farmer.
No overhead open ended coverage for the haystacks ??
Not yet. I use hay tarps.
@@PrideRanch ok I’m not sure what that is but I will continue to follow and learn more, again thank you for sharing. BTW beautiful ranch
Awesome videos! Do you counsel young men with your farm to teach them and get them away from their everyday struggles to build life skills?
Sometimes! I've only had a few interesting in getting away from their game, phone, or favorite sport.
Greg Judy uses two logs to hold the bales off the ground. Bales might not be as big as yours. But he’s a penny pincher. He buys his hay, it removes fertility from the land.
I’ll have to check this out. What do you mean by hay removes fertility from the land? Are you meaning the nitrogen?
All his grass is eaten, trampled, and food for the lands micro organisms that are beneficial rather than removing it. Also intensive grazing
I was thinking the same thing. When the cattle relieve themselves, it add the nutrients back to the ground. Also, look at increasing your riparian area around your stream. This will give your cattle more room to relax while being in the shady for the hot months.
Also, look at White Oak Pasture. He is very good at Ranching. He has been doing for about 30 years now. Cheers!
I will check them out.
WHAT WE USE A LOT HERE IN MISSOURI IS A LARGER ROCK 3 INCH OR SO. THAT WILL HEEP WATER away from the bottom of your bales .
First time seeing your channel. Those dump truck drivers are basic, I've seen ones that pull off while dumping and it spreads the product out for you. Skills Skills Skills.
Thanks for the sub
He used the locking Differential they can lock there rear axle in if the first one comes off the ground!
Off camera he told me what a locking differential was. I had no idea what he was talking about.
Not a neighbor in sight 👌🏽
Today was a good day! #IceCube
Are your cows organically grass fed? Or do you feed them grains?
Good morning and happy 4th of July! My cattle are grass fed and grained finished. There are strict government regulations to follow to be considered organic.

😂😂😂😂. I love your framing. The way you said “not expensive about $15,000.00 to $20,000.00”.
Firstly, it is so wonderful to see the stereotype not exist with you and yours. Secondly, what state is Pride Ranch located?
We are located in Hillsboro, Texas. Hillsboro is just north of Waco, TX.
Any fish in that pond😊
We have fish in both ponds on my ranch. And there is plenty of fish in Aquila Lake right behind me.
Thank you for your honesty and work ethic and representing stay strong much love
I heard that if you lay some copper piping in the water troughs it discourages algae growth! My friends that have chickens tried it in their chicken waterers + it worked! 🤷🏽♀️ give it a try?
Yes! Someone shared that idea. I’m going to use a pump.
Isn't raising bovines the best thing ever?
Yes indeed!!! I put it up there with being a dad!! I love being a dad and being able to see my son everyday and have a relationship with him!!!

Thanks for tuning in!!!
I saw it 100 miles away it was gonna get stuck.i could not understand why they would dump there.
WOW COMMON SENSE
IS vitial.
The rest of the ground was hard. 😂🤷🏾♂️
One step at a time pallets will rot in due time the rock isn't gonna rot .
Agreed!! I didn’t think of that at first.
@@PrideRanch Do you weld build up the 🪨 where the hay gonna sit bevale the sides and front and back. That way when the 💧 run off the tarp down the rock the water won't back up to the hay my 2 cents.
At rogue base, it's not good for your cattle. Get you 340 foot timbers or post. A telephone calls set them 3 foot apart. Stop them will elevate your hay off the ground. You don't want that road based on your feet. But your cattle, because they'll eat it if it's there.
Thanks a ton for this. Sometimes the comments don't come across correctly. So I have some questions. You are saying to get three to four timbers? The post reads three hundrend and forty. Also if you placed them on the ground how do you drive the tractor up each time and not hit the timbers?
ARE YOU A BLACK COWBOY ❤❤❤
flattered you would ask. I'm just an engineer turned cattle rancher. 😃
HOW DO A PERSON BECOME A BLACK COWGIRL ??????????
Gotta get some land, cows, horses and put in some work. :-)
THANK YOU I WILL PUT ON MY LIST!!!!!!!!!
I MEAN!!!!!! I WILL PUT IT ALL ON MY BLACK COWGIRL LIST !!!!!!!!!!!
And costly.
You hiring man?
I occasionally hire someone when it’s work I can’t do alone. My place is too small to have a full time staff.
@@PrideRanch i understand that man and thank you for replying
Make sure you don't use gravel it will get in the bottom of the hay and can break they teeth off
Thanks so much! I went with road base. it was recommended to me.
You will have look at the bottom of the hay I'm not just talking I done the same thing you are doing 200 cows
I understand and appreciate it. I'll keep an eye out for it.
Check and see if you can find some wooden or plastic pallets to put the hay on to.
Just curious,
What would a heifer of that status cost approximately? That girl is show barn perfect. She has the temperament of a show heifer. Simply beautiful. My dad raised red brangus for years in East Texas.
