Send us a text

We sit down at Corralitos Ranch with fourth-generation cattleman Ross Foster to explore drought planning, water work, herd temperament, and the real meaning of stewardship on public and private lands. Grit meets grace as we follow the choices that make cattle calm, grass recover, and families keep going.

• family history and purpose of the Las Cruces ranch
• drought, wind and the decision to let pastures seed
• water lines, dirt tanks and center pivots for resilience
• rotational grazing and matching herd size to forage
• genetics, temperament and culling for calm handling
• cake-broke cattle for low-stress health checks
• public land etiquette and better gates for users
• kids, mini breeds and building next-generation interest
• why this life is hard, redeeming and worth it
• cooking tips from brevet cuts to sous vide
