Horses flood the plain at dawn. One rider leads. 1943, King Ranch, Texas. Toni Frissell shot the remuda for Collier's magazine. Published December 18, 1943, page 20. Wartime America flipping through a national magazine seeing this: the largest ranch in the country still running on horsepower. Literal horsepower. A remuda is the string of saddle horses assigned to each cowboy. On King Ranch, every vaquero drew 5 to 8 horses, rotated by task. Cutting horse. Roping horse. Night herd horse. Long ride horse. Each one trained for years through the vaquero progression: hackamore to bosal to two-rein to full bridle. No shortcuts. No rushing. In 2019, the AQHA gave King Ranch the Best Remuda Award. 166 years of continuous horse breeding. The system in Frissell's 1943 photo is the same one running today. The Kineño vaquero Albert Lolo Trevino said it plain: A cowboy without a rope is like a man without arms. Also published in Frissell's 1975 King Ranch book, plate 70. The LoC catalog number: LC-DIG-ppmsca-09273. The original negative is still in the vault.

@ProtesterLone Haha 😆

@BeefMaps Every "mature" woman in America feels "seen."😁

Dale Brisby is culling his remuda. That means bucking each horse with a bareback rider to decide who stays and who goes. A rancher can't keep more horses than he uses. Feed costs. Winter costs. Every extra mouth is overhead. His rule: no horses under 15 years old. "I want a campaigner. I like it that way." A campaigner is a horse that's seen it all. Dale's got four horses over 20. One is 23. He doesn't buck colts. Doesn't trade. He doesn't want the young pretty ones — he wants the ones that have been through everything and still show up. That's how working ranchers evaluate horses. Not by looks. By years. @dalebrisby

Every extra horse costs feed through winter. So you buck them. You watch. You decide. The old ones stay. The young ones go. 🇺🇸 BeefMaps.com

Oregon just put 126,000 signatures behind a ballot measure that would make farming a criminal offense. We built AcmeAcres.us for exactly this — direct from rancher to customer, no middleman who folds the minute the legislature comes for his license. IP28 — they call it the "Peace Act" — strips the exemptions that let ranchers, farmers, hunters, and vets do their jobs. Castration, dehorning, artificial insemination? Reclassified as sexual assault. Slaughter for meat? Criminal. Hunting and fishing? Criminal. The only exemption is self-defense. This isn't compassion. Well-managed herds stay healthy because a rancher's livelihood depends on it. Remove that stewardship and you get overpopulation, starvation, disease — actual suffering. And the money behind this? Russian crypto wallets. A Craigslist charitable fund. A substitute teacher from Olympia who dumped $28,000 of his own cash to get those 126,000 signatures. They're openly calling IP28 a test case. What passes in Oregon gets copy-pasted to your state next. Your rancher, Jason Hanley | 208-714-0478 @YanasaTV

Your beef is safe. Ranchers have been dealing with this for 150 years. They still are. 🇺🇸 BeefMaps.com

Arizona rancher Casey Murph on screwworm: "My grandfather and great grandfather spent their entire career with it." "They dealt with it. It was just like another pest." "We have got a lot better stuff now. Ivermectin will kill it immediately." "It will not get into your beef." @caseymurph1 @JensTwoCentsAZ

A rancher on the screwworm: "We have got a lot better stuff now. Ivermectin will kill it immediately."

We have been intensely critical of both the beef imports from Argentina and the USDA’s handling of the New World Screwworm (NWS) crisis — our stance has remained the same for over a year But this is an example of misinformation There is no correlation between the beef imports from Argentina and the NWS crisis The NWS CANNOT infest raw and/or cooked meat and presents no risk to beef The NWS can only infest LIVE warm blooded mammals, presenting a risk to livestock, wildlife, pets and unfortunately in some cases, humans

@pastorms Good tip!

@BeefMaps Also Cydectin ... and you won't kill your dung beetles or earthworms.

@BeefMaps @Grain_Cycles Not all land is Glacial Soils, and never will be.

@rodgrisier1958 @BeefMaps @Grain_Cycles Coastal Bermuda is the worst. It’s a direct reflection of what you spend on it. When I turn into coastal pastures at different places the cows avoid it and eat the native around the edges. If you plant clover in with it they get a bit more interested. Trash grass

@Rwt1130Thomas Appreciate you Robert 🤝

@BeefMaps Let's get on this guy's. I happen to support you with my money. Would love to still eat steak until im bitten by a tick. Thanks in advance

U.S. cattle herds haven't been this thin in 75 years. Now screwworm is spreading past Texas. The consolidated system has no cushion. Ranchers have no backup. Stop routing through middlemen who don't share the risk. 🇺🇸 BeefMaps.com

@Inalienably_Me Checks out!

@BeefMaps Ivermectin?

🚨ANNOUNCEMENT We've got one quarter beef left that's ready to go out this Father's Day. This isn't a pitch — it's just the math. When it's spoken for, it's gone. Here's how families are doing it at AcmeAcres.us: split it between the kids, pool it with Mom, however it works for your family. One real gift lands at the door for Dad and he'll be thanking you for it the rest of the year. Grass-finished, dry-aged 12-14 days, raised right here in Spirit Lake, Idaho. Butcher fees included. Six months of dinners from beef he can actually trust. Drop your email at AcmeAcres.us then call or text me this week to claim it. Your rancher, Jason Hanley 208-714-0478

China found hormones. EU found antibiotic violations. Greenpeace found deforestation. JBS is getting hit from three continents at once. Same company that bribed 1,829 politicians and paid zero jail time. Find ranchers who don't need loopholes 🇺🇸 BeefMaps.com

JBS is getting hit from three directions at once. China suspended their beef imports after finding synthetic hormones in shipments from their Vilhena plant. The EU just announced a ban on Brazilian beef starting September 3 over antibiotic violations. JBS controls 92% of those exports. And Greenpeace Netherlands is suing to force JBS to disclose their deforestation data. Three continents. Three regulators. Same company that bribed 1,829 politicians and walked.

Sprayed, fertilized, fed chemicals for years. The minute they pulled inputs — crash. Grazing restored it. Zero input costs. Same yield. Support ranchers who ditched the chemical treadmill 🇺🇸 BeefMaps.com

They cleared this bottom land, sprigged it in coastal Bermuda. Heavily fertilized. Weed-sprayed. For years. When they pulled the inputs — the land crashed. Weed patch. The soil couldn't function without the chemicals. It was addicted to the spray. Took years of grazing recovery to bring it back. Now Dixon Water Foundation runs cows and Dorper sheep on that same land. Same production. Zero fertilizer. Zero spray. Zero input cost. The grazing replaced the chemical bill.
