The livestock are essential but the kids are the real projects! ♥️

How much better could this industry be if more people remembered what this was really supposed to be about?

Because yes, we all want to win.
We want the banners.
The buckles.
The backdrop pictures.
The validation that the hard work paid off.

But at the end of the day, the greatest thing this industry produces was never meant to be livestock.

It’s people.

Young people who learn responsibility before most adults do.
Who learn how to lose gracefully.
How to work when they’re tired.
How to care for something besides themselves.
How to shake hands.
How to be humble.
How to keep showing up.

And the truth is, if we sacrifice those things in the pursuit of winning… then we missed the point completely.

The best stock show families aren’t just building champions in the ring. They’re building good humans outside of it too. 💙

To everyone that has purchased from us so far this year, THANK YOU!

The quality we’ve been seeing so far is better than we could have hoped for, and they have been going to some really great homes.

We will start weaning the first of the spring borns soon and begin the second half of our selling season. Stay tuned for updates!

🚨 Sale is Loaded! 🚨

SELLING MAY 26 in Compadres Cabritos & Friends

Still looking for one old enough for a fall county? Or already shopping for the spring? We think this guy can do both!

Tons of hair and wide everywhere, and getting better every day. If he hadn’t been pushed off the teat by his triplet sibs and pushed out of the feeder by pretty much everyone else, he wouldn’t still be here. We think he will stay on the smaller side and should stay in the lights or middles depending on how long you want to keep him!

Well it looks like most of Texas is getting some much needed rain over the next week, which means damp pens and high humidity! ☹️

We recommend spraying everything above the ground with bleach, D-256, or some other kind of disinfectant, and spreading hydrated lime on the ground to dry it out. Also, make sure to have fly spray on hand, and fans, to help with the mosquitoes when they start to come out! Bifen sprayed on the grass around the pens is a life saver!

Stay dry everyone!

That means 35 minutes from the Gulf coast and going into the summer. Not an easy life for an exotic club calf bull raised in Oklahoma, but I think he’s handling it just fine.
