I’ll be 60 in July. Been at this cow business ( for wages or myself) since I was 12. When I was 26 I started running a rural fuel business. And started my own cow outfit. Now I own a 11 section state lease. Here in SW Mew Mexico that’s only a 70 cow place. When I was young I worked for family outfits has well has large corporate ranches. Slept on the ground in a bed tarp for 31/2 months out of the year. I’ve started young horses , shod horses , built fence, hauled water and feed , and welded. It’s been tough. But I wouldn’t trade it.
Never watched Yellowstone. Haven't had a TV in 6 years. Do I miss it.. NO... Watching this channel & many more like it has been a adventure.. Thanks for sharing your video.. Take care
I could DEFINITELY go 6 years without a t.v. I wish their was mandatory restrictions on kids with tv’s and electronics somehow !!! We had one tv growing up and it got like 2 -3 channels on a good day and was never turned on until my dad turned it on right before dinner ! Man I miss those times !
When I was green-breaking horses, I set up all old cotton mattress in one area of the coral and I'd try and hang on long enough to aim for that mattress. I got pretty good at it... 😆
I did a 5 year tour with the USFS in Granite County, MT. Met a lot of ranchers, learned their brands and saw their lifestyle. Montana was a wonderful place... For 100 days a year, in the summer, when there were not fires burning all around us. I love watching your videos @Trinity, brings back fond Philipsburg memories. But I'm glad to be back in Tennessee 🙂
Plenty of places in Montana have gotten smaller and, in many ways, have diminished with passing years. Philipsburg is definitely an exception and can be counted on to get better with time. Hope you get a chance to visit again some day.
Trinity , I live. South East. Of BILLINGS for 33 years now. Came here from the Bronx New York in 1990 there were more people in my apartment building then in big timber !!!!!on long Island there are 4 million people ( give or take ) you can fit LONG island in montana about 40 times.. L. I. Is about 100 miles long and at the widest about 15 miles , we have a little over 1 million give or take...ps. I'll never leave the state for good. THANK you FRANK marullo.....
Hey Trinity, I am a 31-year-old man from North Africa, living in Germany since 2013. Watching your content was the catalyst for a dream that has never left my mind or heart since the first time I moved to a big city : the dream of moving to the United States, purchasing Land , Building a ranch from it, contributing to the community, and working hard to make it a success. I am a computer engineer by profession, but I spent my childhood surrounded by nature, farms, and cattle. I also worked for several months on small ranches and on my family’s olive farms in Tunisia, my home country. Growing up in such a remote place, I didn’t fully appreciate the beauty of that environment-the peace, the fresh air, and the kindness of simple, genuine people. I realize now, living in Berlin-Germany, how much I regret my youthful ingratitude toward those seemingly small things, which I now recognize as invaluable. I hope that one day I will have the chance to meet you in person in the United States. Much love and respect for you guys, keep the good work ! YEEE HAAAA
Education is always good, it won't teach u what to do as rancher or how to ride horse, but it will form ones mindset, to see everything in a more educated perspective, rather than just doing stuff, it gives the mindset to look at ways of doing differently and embracing future and technology that may be helpful.
I own a small horse boarding, training, horsemanship lesson, & local horse transport , colt starting farm/business. In a small way I experience much of what they talked about. We take care of boarders’ horses more than our own. We go out in the cold , rain,& mud when we don’t want to. I work with my wife daily ( not an easy task. She’s an obsessive compulsive perfectionist who cleans stalls as if they’re an operating room at our local hospital). Our farm is not far from town but the views are worth every ounce of sacrifice. The peace between chores is amazing. The reward of watching a horse transform into a partner is hard to explain. Our neighbors all around us raise cattle. I get to watch that process too. Every day I wish I had grown up in this environment.
This is the one state I've always wanted to visit, but doubt that will ever happen. So glad to see the husband say it's an opportunity to work side by side with his wife. And the opportunity for the kids to grow up in that environment is awesome. I grew up in the country, only a dog for a pet, but loved adventuring thru the woods and trekking to the creek. Caliber was fun to watch as he nussled and pushed you. Have a great day.
I grew up in a ranching family and my Dad was a baler mechanic. He was gone days and nights while ranchers were baling hay and alfalfa. Wherever the moisture was right. The ranch raised registered Herefords and some angus and of course crosses. Thousands of acres and it was the best childhood I could have asked for. I love watching this channel as it reminds me of that time. I grew up and moved here to north Idaho and only see my family every few years.
My godfathers "FARM" may have been only 40 acres, but it kept us busy year round- i was there from late spring to early fall, till school started, for 8 years, 1958 till 1966, also most every weekend during school time during those years, it was hard work from 3:30am till 30mintues after sunset, 7 days a week, and i miss it every day
Thank you to you and your channel. I live in Northern Virginia but my kin is from Red Lodge. My grandfather was the mayor there. Your channel has helped me reconnect with Montana in a substantive way. I do like the Yellowstone TV show as entertainment. The cinematography is bar none and makes me miss the landscape but I always knew the difference between real life and Hollywood.
The movie rust is going to finish filming up by Chico hot springs. There is a old western town that was built to promote old western movies to be filmed in montana.
We need to continue to bring back the vest layer. About 10 years ago I started wearing a wool timber cruiser vest as part of my going to town rig. Now about half my doctors wear them also (I have crippling psoriatic arthritis). It's a good look and very functional.
I lived in Florence with a family that moved there from California back in 1976 or so. I was 18 I think, and worked at Dunbar Sawmill in Hamilton. Was a rough life then, hard to make a living. It was beautiful country. I am going on 66 now, was an experience I will not forget.
Great video & discussions Trinity. Having grown up in the farm/Ag industry equipment business with my Dad, I fully understand the "There are no weekends" aspect. Our farmers then later, equipment contractors who were all our customers, called upon us seven days a week, year round. AS a much younger man then, it sometimes irritated me but there were always positive interactions and when the customer displayed appreciation for the service I was able to provide to solve their problem, it was a very satisfying feeling. All part of the business. This 35+ many years later, Dad has passed and I am back at running/managing the business in my own retirement situation.
Another great mini-doc Trinity......if you can venture north a 'bit', you ought to call on the Fritz's up on the Hi-Line. Some real awesome folks, farmers, ranchers and auctioneers!
LOL ! I remember when we were 45 miles from the nearest town & would only go to "Town" once a month & the biggest thing on our list was another months worth of horse feed. Oh, & no security night lights.
Upton, wyoming my lovely town has no stop lights as well. “Best town on earth” Yes we have grocery stores hardware stores and bars. Look up joes market for what reviewers say of our town or the new co-op. Its just like youd love and imagine every friendly town to be.
Spent some time back in the 70’ in laurl, I worked out of billings for montgomery ward truck and tractor service, i ran a service truck and I think the farthest I traveled out to some remote ranches to change tractor tires was about 100 miles, that was shortly after I separated from the Marine Corps, thank god i was in shape for that job, I’d have to pump the fluid out of the tires and then bust them down by hand
If you want bunkhouse living you need to work for the US Forest Service as a seasonal employee. Most of them live in remote districts and live in communal living spaces. Of all the ranches I knew of in the Philipsburg Valley, none had bunkhouses for employees. However, they did have old bunkhouses to crash in for a few days.
Ive known of very large ranches that have bunkhouses they were still using in the 90s. They would hire seasonal help for a couple of times a year (branding/haying) and would provide the help "room and board" as well as money for their time. There was a particular ranch outside of Wisdom (not far from Philipsburg) who could be counted on for a good summer job (with bunkhouse accommodations) for high school guys in the area.
I used to work for a company that supplied tractors and other big farm tools nationwide and the only place I’ve seen bunkhouses are on some ranches in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona but the places that did have them only had a few hands living there. They were old buildings built and used primarily in the past. Some were probably seasonal. The biggest myth on Yellowstone is the amount of ranch hands John Dutton employs. He’s got like 12 cowboys. That’s not realistic. At least for the amount of cattle I’ve seen on his ranch. The places I’ve seen with bunkhouses didn’t have like 12 ppl in them lol.
It was along time ago after farming that I got horses before my marriage and back in the latefifties and early sixties times were tough . So marriage and children horses went . Horses have always been in my heart so that is why i watch YOUR videos and also love the life of the farmer and ranchers that mean so much in our lives. My eternal thank you for those type of people.
There is a reality to living in MT they ended on; no wind “these are days you cherish.” Those are BIG words for anyone that wants to live in MT & WY. WIND.
The magic words... Stuarts of this land, how very true...and it doesn't matter if it's one acre...or thousands of acres...how we handle and manage the land ...is what's important... Book learning is always good ..but I've always been a hands on..and no better way to learn ..ranching is so very different...from crop farming... Livestock..is 24/7..you never know what can happen...thanks Trinity..this was a great interview...with wonderful hard working people..who love what they do!! It's 10 times more that a TV program...
It took me a while to realize that you meant “Stewards” of the land, which he says at 17:19. When you wrote “Stuart” of the land, I wondered if the couple were somehow descended from the Stuart Clan from Scotland and that had something to do with their ranch. But, it’s nice to know they feel important about being good stewards of the land.
@@Atlantya thank you..the phone flips words on me...and it's after I have spelled the word correctly...proof read what I want and hit send...stewards is the correct spelling...Thank you... appreciate your help...
Grandma used to talk about the Hands on the farm. They lived in ‘renovated’ slave quarters. Even if they had a house and family, it was too far to go every night after work. Especially in harvest season when they worked 100 hour days. 🤪😴
Thank you for your insight on life in Montana. Montana is a great state. I’ve been hunting just outside side of Winnett for 12 years. Everywhere I’ve been people are friendly, just be respectful and respectful of their land and their livestock. Wherever you’re from leave that there and enjoy where you are visiting.
I spent my teenage summers living in bunkhouses in the Upper Big Hole Valley. I haven't seen any of that Yellowstone stuff, so I do not know how they portray it Hollywood style. In my experience, it was a lot of drinking and fighting. Some folk had to get taken to the Dillon Hospital because they got seriously beat up. Perhaps I am running my mouth (metaphorically speaking), but this is fact. I had a great teenage life. Wouldn't want it any other way.
On the lower Delmarva Peninsula, we have dormitory style housing but we only need the extra hands for a few weeks. Aside from crops and chickens, most of us keep just enough cattle to balance the farm.
Trinity thank you so much for sharing your experience's with us , it's a long way from Tennessee , when I grew up from the age of 13 to 20 working for a lady who had a large barn 12 stalls and kept year round 10 boarded horses , i thought i knew a lot about horses but you have taught me so much more I am 72 now ,back then mucking out stalls ,feeding, grooming, riding for people who paid for boarding but never came out to ride them(they will get mean if you do not ride them regularly)anyway it's been an education watching you on your channel thanks again ,I will continue to watch and learn..
What a wonderful insight into the day to day workings of a ranching family, very similar to our farming lifestyle here in Australia, we are just stewards of the land, but it is such a rewarding lifestyle, thanks for sharing this one with us Trinity, I enjoyed it immensely.
Great video! Love your content! Got a brother and sister in law living in Big Timber. They got a boot shop in town. They make custom leather boots, and leather goods. My brother also does some work for a local rancher, kinda like a ranch hand would do. He also used to work as a wrangler for K Lazy 3 outfitters out of Lincoln Montana. I myself do not live in Montana but have been there many times. Ranch life has always been a dream of mine. Maybe some day.
You asked in a video I couldn’t find quickly, what was done with all the bison bones shipped east. Many went to mjchigan and to the far east. They were used for fertilizer, glue, ash and most of all bone China. The Chinese were skilled at creating painting and selling bone China. Makes sense.
I have lived where it was 100 miles to town in the winter because the Pass would snow shut. In the summer it was 50 miles to town and this was in Montana.
Thank you Trinity and all for sharing your lives with everyone very interesting to view another look at Montana and the folks who take care of that beautiful state ❤
Born in Ft Benton, raised in Great Falls, worked on a ranch called the Dearborn, just out of Wolf Creek towards Chouteau, fond memories. A Californian bought that ranch and turned it into a dude ranch. Be ready for some cold weather for sure.
Wow...this is so great to learn. I love montana, been there a couple times and even set up an elk hunting camp. Thanks for sharing this plus about the cattle on your other videos...
I appreciate your videos and learning about a lifestyle I have no knowledge about. Seeing the beauty of Montana is a huge plus. So thank you for sharing your knowledge.
You know I’ve watched Yellowstone…it’s just another Hollywood “western”…. People watch it and fantasize about the West… So surprised that Kevin Costner would make such a fake show….. I guess he’s doing for city folks that fall for that stuff… I think living in Wyoming myself..I think Montana …and Dakotas are really folks live with harsh winters..lots of cold and lots of snow…. Thanks for another great video..❤
One thing I am curious about as likely other's who have zero knowledge about ranch life, what wages could be expected for a Ranch Mgr, Ranch Hands, etc... understanding the comment I've heard you mention several times "you won't get rich as a rancher" it is relative, another quote. Define relative.
Quality content ! Since I was a kid I’ve always wanted to learn the in and outs of ranching & hopefully one day have my own ranch , Any tips on how to get started ?
@@RealJeepNot all Californians Californicate areas. The majority that flee go to areas and actually fight against leftists. Bozeman is a great example of a city that became woke via Montanians. Not Californians
After you get a few there they are going to be lobbying for a stoplight so the kids will be safe. I grew up in a town with no stoplight and we had a lot of coal mines working and we had to watch for semis now we have only now we only have a couple of working mines. The population has not changed much but we have to have a stoplight.
My granddaughter who is a junior in High School wants desperately to move to Montana (We currently are in PA) and work and eventually have her own ranch. Are there internships available and where can she go to get information? I did tell her that she needs to know management and accounting if she were to ever have a ranch of her own.
I’ll be 60 in July. Been at this cow business ( for wages or myself) since I was 12. When I was 26 I started running a rural fuel business. And started my own cow outfit. Now I own a 11 section state lease. Here in SW Mew Mexico that’s only a 70 cow place. When I was young I worked for family outfits has well has large corporate ranches.

Never watched Yellowstone.
Haven't had a TV in 6 years.
Do I miss it.. NO...
Watching this channel & many more like it has been a adventure..

Yellowstone is bad azz, it's Hollywood but Straight Up and Old School.
But Trinity always rocks....🍺🍺
I could DEFINITELY go 6 years without a t.v. I wish their was mandatory restrictions on kids with tv’s and electronics somehow !!!
We had one tv growing up and it got like 2 -3 channels on a good day and was never turned on until my dad turned it on right before dinner ! Man I miss those times !
Not every couple can be together 24/7 and work at a job together, But it Is the most rewarding life!

Sounds like I grew up. I look back at that time fondly now.
In Colorado. Montana is much more scenic. Love your videos

I spent my teenage summers living in bunkhouses in the Upper Big Hole Valley. I haven't seen any of that Yellowstone stuff, so I do not know how they portray it Hollywood style. In my experience, it was a lot of drinking and fighting. Some folk had to get taken to the Dillon Hospital because they got seriously beat up. Perhaps I am running my mouth (metaphorically speaking), but this is fact. I had a great teenage life. Wouldn't want it any other way.
Thanks for taking us along again.
On the lower Delmarva Peninsula, we have dormitory style housing but we only need the extra hands for a few weeks. Aside from crops and chickens, most of us keep just enough cattle to balance the farm.

It's a ranch. There's always something that needs to be fixed, which is why it's always interesting. Quiet and fresh air.

Born in Ft Benton, raised in Great Falls, worked on a ranch called the Dearborn, just out of Wolf Creek towards Chouteau, fond memories. A Californian bought that ranch and turned it into a dude ranch. Be ready for some cold weather for sure.
Wonderful!!👍

Interesting about bunkhouses not being around in anymore. When were they mainly used and why did they stop?
Love this video, ty Sir
This is such an awesome yet very hard lifestyle. You have to have so much knowledge bout so many different things etc
Great job with the video and the questions you asked.
You have to live the life of ranching and cowboying to do it for every.
This was super interesting. Thank you!
Lived 170 km from the nearest town in outback Australia

You know I’ve watched Yellowstone…it’s just another Hollywood “western”…. People watch it and fantasize about the West… So surprised that Kevin Costner would make such a fake show….. I guess he’s doing for city folks that fall for that stuff… I think living in Wyoming myself..I think Montana …and Dakotas are really folks live with harsh winters..lots of cold and lots of snow…. Thanks for another great video..❤
Well put, that wind, not being by water would be tough alone...so I take it that get free room n board, but, maybe they might want there own house
This was a awesome video, thanks
Another great video.
Thanks that was great 💕🤠
Interesting. Thanks.
One thing I am curious about as likely other's who have zero knowledge about ranch life, what wages could be expected for a Ranch Mgr, Ranch Hands, etc... understanding the comment I've heard you mention several times "you won't get rich as a rancher" it is relative, another quote. Define relative.
From what I saw on our trip to America, not many Americans went to college, most didn’t even know what the next town produced
Nice
One question I'm curious about.. What would a ranch hand make (ballpark) right out of the gate, verse 10+ years on?
Quality content ! Since I was a kid I’ve always wanted to learn the in and outs of ranching & hopefully one day have my own ranch , Any tips on how to get started ?
I can't get over how barren it is and that it's always cold or snow on the ground. What are the stock eating. Must be a short summer.
I would love to live there. But my age says nope. I should of when I was younger. I would of loved it.
How many Californians are on Zillow looking up Big Timber when they heard no stop lights?
How many people in Montana can't stand Californicators?
@@RealJeepNot all Californians Californicate areas. The majority that flee go to areas and actually fight against leftists.
Bozeman is a great example of a city that became woke via Montanians. Not Californians
After you get a few there they are going to be lobbying for a stoplight so the kids will be safe. I grew up in a town with no stoplight and we had a lot of coal mines working and we had to watch for semis now we have only now we only have a couple of working mines. The population has not changed much but we have to have a stoplight.
@@RealJeep COMMIEFORNIANS💩‼️‼️
How many Californians discovered Big Timber after watching "The Horse Wisperer"?
👍

@@LifeintheWest yes sir! Champagne Creek
My granddaughter who is a junior in High School wants desperately to move to Montana (We currently are in PA) and work and eventually have her own ranch. Are there internships available and where can she go to get information? I did tell her that she needs to know management and accounting if she were to ever have a ranch of her own.
