"Ever wonder how city people come to be such ranching experts?"
I bet they talk to the know it alls who think they are well received at the local feed store. Well, that beats talkin to some expert who sits in an office behind a desk all day. For example, I’d wager that I spend more time at a feed store than you, & you spend more time behind a desk in the city than I do. Guys that buy a lot of feed don’t go to feed stores. They send emails

But if someone relocates to a new area (I did) ask the old timers in the area the questions. Who's the tractor tire repair guy? Who's the dozer man? Where's the best place to get off road diesel? An example of questions I asked and got answers to when I moved only 35 miles from my previous home area.

Not even close to being in the city.
Wolfe City is 8 minutes away and a population of 1400.
20 minutes from anything close to resembling a city.

LOL...I would agree. Probably upset that the city folk came along and bought up the land they had hopes of getting at a cheap price.

I know of a hands on ranching family (over 40,000 acres) who get up, eat breakfast and are where they need to be at first light. They eat lunch together and then all take a mid-day break to avoid the heat of south TX. Back out in the afternoon, doing smaller stuff or eyeing the next day's work. They put in their hours. Saturdays are no different than Mondays.

I chuckle at Couch Ranch Hands that help out a time or two or drive by a place with cows on it grazing by the fence and become Experts.. I had a small 100 acre Place over in Fayette County. Owned it 15 years. Most called it a Ranch but I didn't. Just a big yard. Amazing what you have to have to operate even a small place like that if you do it right. . Dozer, Bobcat, Tractors, Sprayers, Working Pens, Longhorn Chutes and the list goes on and on. . Sold it and all the Equipment 4 years ago and wish I hadn't. . Now have 10 acres almost downtown Kingsland (unincorporated) and have 3 of the Longhorn Lawnmowers off the Old Place out here keeping the grass down. Still have a Longhorn Chute. Heck that thing was $7500 bucks years ago. Ain't nothing cheap running even a small place if you do it right. If you look close Chute even works on cats.
