Read PostI grew up on a West Texas ranch in Randall County where livestock wasn’t just a school project — it was a way of life. My family has been ranching for four generations, and everything I’ve learned about work ethic, patience, and consistency came from the barn long before it showed up in the classroom or on the softball field.
