Natalie McFarland has taken marketing and supporting of our western way of life and presented it in beautiful ways time and time again.

Jenn Zeller
Winter this year began as a meek, mild child and turned into a full-on rebellious teenager. It’s been unseasonably cold — the average this time of year should be about 30F, but instead it’s been about -5F. Okay, maybe it hasn’t been that cold, but it has sure felt like it. And you know it’s […]

Each summer, many cowboys on ranches throughout the American West leave headquarters to live at cow camps for the season.

Sometimes you’re waiting for a signal from another cowboy to move down the ridge. Sometimes you’re waiting for someone to come pick […]

I Miss The Mystery

Tayler Teichert
In all my years of dating, my sister told me to maintain a little bit of mystery. Don’t let your date know everything about you right off the bat – make them wonder. They will get bored if they feel like they aren’t learning anything new, so don’t tell all your secrets on the first […]
