#2 rule on the ranch

[@MingetRacer]

My rule was always leave the gate LIKE YOU FOUND IT!

[@FoggyStillness]

"Every once in a while." Yes. Very telling.

[@johnchildress7594]

If it's open leave it open, if it's closed close it

[@MarSchlosser]

Rule 3, never sit on your spurs. :)

[@brucejones3560]

Golden rule is leave the gate how you found it.

[@unclegeorge7845]

If I've heard it once I've heard it a thousand times: "Shut the Gosh Darn door!"

[@jleestephenson]

@@unclegeorge7845 you gonna let all the flies in.

[@unclegeorge7845]

@@jleestephenson Worse yet; I hear me saying the same thing even to the scary movies as the soon to be dead people wander through the deserted mansion. Cheers

[@jleestephenson]

@@unclegeorge7845 you got that right

[@jagdpup]

And if you park in front of the gate leave the keys in the rig damnit!

[@G.I.JeffsWorkbench]

Right on. Leave any of my gates open & my dear spouse will come hunting for you. If you survive that encounter, don’t ever come back.

[@cliffordbaxter1992]

If you open a gate ,YOU close the damm gate ✝️🇺🇸🤨

[@richardharrold4357]

Good talk. Yea, mine are the same. They'll take off in a minute. But you know, they come back on their own. They know where life is good. See ya soon, I hope.

I’m 68 yrs old. Grandpa had a huge dairy farm. He said “Close That Gap. …. “Or You Wish You Hada”! Now I don know what h meant by”Hada” if it meant I’d run till I gathered up all them run always or get my hide tanned and or both! 😂😂😂😂😂 I never a the honor to be rewarded with the “Hada Certificate Of Accomplishment”! Love and miss my PawPaw!

[@jleestephenson]

@@papajoecooking4425 We didn’t ask back then, we just done it we didn’t want to find out.

[@papajoecooking4425]

@@jleestephenson Got that right! 9 yrs old helping PawPaw in his garden picking butter beans! I’d pick a few stand up put my fist behind my back on my waste line and lean back and stretch. I did it a bunch of times he said “What’s Wrong With You Boy”? My back hurts PawPaw! “BoyYou Ain’t Old Enough To Have A Back Get To Pickin Them Beans”!!! I’ve had a back injury and spinal cord injury since 1995 oh how I wish he was still here to tell me I wasn’t old enough to have a back! I thought my PawPaw could do anything shy of walking on water! They don’t make men like that anymore!

[@boydwhite3708]

And cattle cover some ground just by walking. Might look like 2 miles from the gate...but they walk that likkity split and shoot right out the gate.

[@jleestephenson]

Kind of like how fast deer can get in the middle of the field when you just look away for a second

[@ronwilliams266]

Sir, any time i have entered a farm I have always put the gates the way I found they when driven on someone's ranch if open they stay open if closed I close them .Thank you for being a FARMER for AMERICA.

[@jimseviltwin1]

That’s what I always said, a horse has all the time in the world to think about all the different ways that he can kill you…

[@andrewmartin4258]

Horses are trapped and need to escape. Cattle are not trapped and won't try to escape however they will graze through a gate if left open. This all assuming they are otherwise well fed.

[@jailbaitandtackleoutdoors]

True that!

[@5toed-lizard.]

What the heck is wild livestock. since when is livestock wild? Some domesticated farm animals might act wild. unless maybe you go round up wild Mustangs and bring them back to your ranch.

[@5toed-lizard.]

Why do most of you fake Cowboys act so tough did you watch too many Clint Eastwood movies?

[@jleestephenson]

We imported One of the first French charolais bulls into the United States. Before, we had Brahmas I have scrapped out many a screw worm back in the day before they were eradicated, I ‘ve castrated, branded, dehorned, fed, put out hay, brought calves in to the fireplace that were born in winter to keep their tail from freezing off, vaccinated etc… what does it take to be a real cowboy in your opinion
