American Rancher with the u.s. television premiere of de Brooker char lice everybody is a little bit Shoto you're gonna like it [Music] my name is Carmen the work with my brother's great best friends now and it's been probably more time together than we do with our wives I don't know being a Cowboys is something different every day even after chasing cows it's always different but what we grew up doing and it's hard to change what you do growing out Shoto is a small community like a lot of communities in Montana pretty neat that we're all pretty much agriculturally driven a lot of these small communities and kind of takes everyone to make a community everybody's a little bit Shoto [Music] I live here with my wife Emily and daughter Saylor and after a long day of Barbara interaction that's great to come home to especially not only to see their smiling faces and hear about their day and play around with Saylor and it's pretty great I love the life out here that we get to do it on our own and that we work together as family it's not a one-man job it takes everybody on our gutter your job I'm kind of new to raising kids here there's a lot of amazing support in these small communities I mean you know everyone and just look at the superintendent right here [Music] this car yeah I've driven looking around the school a few times I I do it once here and it's always a surprise because the kids don't know I have it there there's a few kids who do if you kids are into cars but not many and so when I Drive it to school it's always whose car is that the kids are the best the kids are the best part of the job it's great to to just be with kids and help them the kids are far and away the best part you know in a small town you know you got to have a tire shop you've got to have a service station grocery stores the main thing to keep people going and we're fortunate that we have a lot of loyal customers and I've seen their their kids grow up and now they're coming in and doing business with me and they have kids that's what I love about the small town but yeah we'll actually fixed the tire on this car not too long ago the passenger side front is leaking and silicon took care of that for me that's a pretty neat Camaro wasn't it it's I like fast cars but the truckin is a thing for me [Music] well to be honest with ya I hate my truck because truck usually means work but trucking is the only thing I know how to do so that's just what I do we're on our way to North walk down a feeders and show it off Montana to start hauling bulls down for the new preferable sale that's coming up this weekend [Music] I've been doing it for almost five years do it daily it's my job make sure the fan I try to get it right every time mr. job I enjoy it like this one here I see him talk to us a curly column curly because it's area been cut I like to look to that we're just pulling into North Montana feeders and show to Montana if you start loading the balls for the direktor annual bold sale [Music] [Music] they can be pretty dangerous catch them on the wrong day have a bad day what's going on buddy hey how are you Wiley not too bad murder here halt symbols down today huh this is Brett de Brooker he's got the D'Brickashaw relay bull sales coming up here on Saturday selling 700 edibles to be a farmer in ranch you've got to be a little bit crazy and you've got to be a bit of a gambler the biggest risk that we have is we can do everything right 364 days and that one day of bad weather and all the sudden things go south if real nice head-on big spot thanks dick you need to take on 20 hour shifts for a week straight and then when calving comes around you know that that's 20 hour shifts or 30 to 45 days long [Music] you got a right sized calf calf is good and active and the mothers trying to get him licked off and get him going and he's already getting ready to get going in life we can't you can't beat that checking out the first steps to that little calf sure is nice so it's really important to have great people the feedlot because you want them to care for the animals the same way we do um you know I've been strong bones for 20 years now I think it's probably one of the most rewarding things that you can do it's like when your mom makes your bed you know she throws the nice warm sheets on your bed it just feels so good to jump into [Music] yeah so right now we're at the feedlot and we're loading the Bulls to get them down to the auction barn and at the same time we're testing bulls with dr. Bob Lee to make sure they're good and healthy for our customers what means money bud means moisture moisture means a good crop moisture means good grass good grass means good cows healthy bulls and when it's muddy at the feedlot the Cowboys get a real good workout so at the feedlot we've got a dress code and our bouncer and they use the one that it forces well if you show up in your nice clothes gonna have to go change some old clothes it's gonna get dirty [Music] families do caps and jackets and like a family tradition and Harwich which keeps their families you know legacy alive generation to generation you came up with this beautiful things come to me it's a gift I'm telling ya not always so they come to me right on time especially take a while I think I've been working with the directors for so long money gave it some Brown making a sound yeah everything you said I couldn't have I got my own back reproductive success is critical in every profitable cow-calf operation that's why you need effective easy breeding with vitae firm concept a high concentrations of organic trace minerals and vitamin e found in concept aid will ensure more of your cows breed back faster plus

one of your buddies that needs it it's great living in the West Shoto is a sense of togetherness you know like it's not just the town or just the location or the buildings or whatever it's the people and the feeling that's the people bring you know creates a community and I think that that feeling can be found not just in our town but in you know it's all of the small towns all over the world I think you're in small communities you know your neighbors as you said if you feel safe when things do happen people come for you - hell yeah people are willing to step up and help it feels comfortable
