I chronicled A Day In the Life of a Texas Cattle Rancher for all you out there in Reader Land so you could get a slice of what Texas ranch life is like, too. (Ok, bad pun. Sorry.)

It’s an honest, tough life, and a bit brutal at times. Ranchers make no apologies for supplying America with much of their meat in the manner which it’s been done for years. Nor should they.

BE FOREWARNED!! This video will make you cringe – at the very least. This is raw footage of a bull being castrated, given its shots, and an ear tag. (I’m sure to lose readers over this. If you’re new here, just know I’ve never posted anything like this before and don’t plan to make a habit of it.) This video is not for the squeamish or vegetarian or anyone who doesn’t want their “meat-grows-in-plastic-packages-on-trees-and-is-harvested-for-the-supermarket” view of food consumption to be challenged.
