This is what it’s all about. 💜

Watching these kids work hard, set goals, and see their accomplishments rewarded makes it all worthwhile. Through the Thomas Ranch Junior Incentive Program, young livestock exhibitors have the opportunity to earn both CASH and SALE CREDIT for their achievements—helping them build confidence, learn the value of hard work, and, most importantly, build their own herds. 🐄

We’re proud to support the next generation of livestock breeders and entrepreneurs as they chase their goals and turn hard work into something they can be proud of.

Keep working. Keep learning. Keep building. The future is in YOUR
hands. 💪💜

🎉 Congrats to Hans Bumsted on all his success this year - his hard work is certainly taking him far!

🍀Best of luck to all the kiddos headed to their State Fairs that they have worked towards all summer!

🏆Congrats to Preston Hartman and TMAS Maybelline 4736M ET on the big win at the 2026 Red Angus Youth Expo.

To be named Champion Female at Fuzion last year as a fall calf and follow it up with the Champion honors again this summer is a pretty tough feat! She had some incredible wins between the two as well.

❤️‍🩹Admittingly, it's taken us awhile to make this post - a bittersweet win that we only wish TR could have been here to see. 6053 was purchased from Christy Collins - we always thought her daughter, Maybelline, was pretty special and was marketed with CCI.live and Innovation AgMarketing, LLC to the Conley Family and later found her way to another long-time family friend in the Hartman's - a true full circle moment! Thanks for all those that made it all happen!

Grand Champion Owned Red Angus Female
Sire: Red MRLA Resource 137E
Dam: ROJAS Falling Water 6053
Bred by: Thomas Ranch

We can't wait to see you in September for our Annual Pasture Sale!

All of us from the Thomas Ranch would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the firefighters, neighbors, friends, and family who responded so quickly and courageously to the recent fire. The blaze began approximately four miles south of us on the Harrold Grade and with the strong winds it spread quickly.

Everyone’s rapid response and determination made all the difference in the scary conditions. The fire was ultimately stopped on the Thomas Ranch, preventing further damage and protecting our rural community.

We are truly grateful for the dedication, long hours, and risk of everyone that came to help.
