Inside Cowboy/Ranching Culture - West Texas 🇺🇸

In the middle of nowhere in West Texas lives six generations of ranching at the O6 Ranch. Join me as we learn about cowboying and ranching from these salt-of-the-earth people who are hanging on to this rugged lifestyle that is currently under intense pressure.

From ghettos to ranching, this channel is gold! Thanks for showing us the real America!

As an Arab Bedouin watching this right now, from somewhere in the Arabian Desert, not far from the Empty Quarter, grazing with my herd of 65 camels. This was truly a treat. I’d love to visit America just to get to ride with cowboys, and get a feel for mustangs and stallions, be they in Texas or Montana. I’d love to own a cattle ranch one day as well. I bet they’d love to ride some Arabian horses too. I know perfectly well, that feeling of wanting to escape the city. I work in downtown Abu Dhabi, my hometown. I was born and raised here. But as soon as I get the chance, sometimes during the workweek, after work, I’d go to the outskirts of the city, to be able to be near to the desert as much as I can. It’s my much-needed breath of fresh air I guess. So, given that yesterday was the last day of work, before a long 4-day Eid break. I immediately went for the Western Region, getting 260 km away from my office lol.

Thank you for this Peter, and God bless those amazingly awesome people. I hope they get to keep the ranch forever. Since 1912, wow! That was the same year titanic sunk, 110 years ago!

The saddest misconception of cowboys and people who choose to work hard for a living is that they're dumb uneducated hateful racist people and that almost always seems to be the furthest from the truth. I live in the northeast and I witnessed people talk that way about farmers my whole life. It's sad cause it looks like a very gratifying life, hard but beautiful. We never know any people till we walk a mile in their shoes and share a dinner table. Thank you Peter for these videos that give me hope in a world obsessed with identity and splintering us apart based on those identities. Your videos make me smile and remind me that everyone deserves the time for understanding cause you will find the true beauty hidden in mankind.

She is such a strong woman. ‘One foot in front of the other’ - this made sense after hearing she lost her son. How else would you take life?

I wish I could have this kind of life. I’m a developer sitting behind a computer all day and feel so disconnected from the world and how life was intended to be lived. My grandfather was a farmer, but family farming is no longer a viable living. So sad. Corporate America killed it. Believe most of the mental health issues are related to people being so far removed from the land.

People often ask why we’d want to live in Oklahoma and Texas. It’s the character and kindness of the people in this area. You can see the hardworking ethics and general kindness of this area of the country in the 06 Ranch family.

I am always impressed by farmers, ranchers, and others who choose to continue a legacy and work the land. It's not about getting the most money, but about integrity and stewardship of what they have. I wish there were more who followed this path.

I think I rode this man's horse at the Jobe ranch with team semper fi. Said the horses was from the O6. Thank you so much for what you do for us vets. When she talks about how pumped we are to get out and ride she's 100 percent on point! I thank you for your service good sir. Your son is a hero God bless

[demoncloud]

"There is always somebody wanting something that you have" - Love this statement, so true

[sunrise]

From a vet, sorry for your loss and we appreciate your son’s service. Thank you both as well for your hard work in Ranching (only 1.3% of Americans)

[MrApplesaucestuff]

Thanks for finally making a video about working citizens that contribute to the greatness of this nation and don’t blame anyone else while doing it.

[GenXWildChildCreatress]

A someone who grew up working on a cattle ranch that was also a horse breeding & training facility here in Alberta, I can tell you this way of life is something that you absolutely HAVE to love. It’s part of your soul, and it saddens me to see so many good, hardworking folks having to let it go.

Really enjoyed this one. Thanks so much!

[madridcucho]

Best quote ever “Food has been glamorized” … Thanks to these genuine folks, sure one of a kind and thanks to you Peter for sharing their story.

[MTknitter]

Oh yes, the recession is hitting W TX ranches very hard. Drought, border issues, cattle hard to sell & people selling off herds. our way of life is getting harder. We thank you for telling our TX ranching story.

[secretagent_jp]

I grew up in Weat Texas for the first 18 years of my life and watching this video, I feel like I'm listening to my grandparents talking about their own farm/ranch all over again.

[arthurstruxness]

Fantastic story of great people and generational ranching, ❤

[jodycanfield]

Country folk are quiet and private for the most part. You asked more questions than they probably talk about in a year or two. These folks are the soul of country; work hard, stay humble.

[JP-sfer]

For the farmers not to sell out to developer's says so much about thier integrity. This way of life needs to be preserved at all cost. God Bless these farmers! 🙏
