Book excerpt: "This heartfelt and often personal work continues the story of the Big Island?s Parker Ranch, one of the largest and most beautiful cattle ranches in the United States. It begins with the dynastic transition in ranch management from the formidable A. W. Carter to his son, Hartwell, who would be responsible for bringing the ranch effectively into the twentieth century. Although supervision of the ranch officially changed hands in 1937, A. W.?s wide-ranging influence continued to be felt for at least another decade. Later Hartwell Carter would also have to contend with the whims of ranch owner Richard Smart, who returned to the Islands in 1959, eager to take direct control of his estate. Under Hartwell Carter?s stewardship, Parker Ranch raised its cow herd size by 50 percent and, through its subsidiary, Hawaii Meat Company, converted its beef marketing from a range-finished animal to a feedlot-confined, corn-fed, marbled carcass acceptable to the modern household. Hartwell Carter was followed by his assistant, Richard (Dick) Penhallow, as ranch manager in 1960. Penhallow?s tenure is given a detailed overview that illuminates his ambitious goals for improvements in water, land, livestock, personnel develepment, and the economics of the beef industry. Although Penhallow?s grand scheme for reorganizing an inefficient and divided industry into a single cooperative using state-of-the-art facilities ultimately failed at the time, the subsequent history of beef marketing in the Islands bears out the soundness and wisdom of his ideas. In 1962 Smart selected Radcliffe (Rally) Greenwell as Penhallow?s successor. The new ranch manager arrived with strong, traditional values of stewardship handed down from generations of Kona ranchers. Greenwell?s initiatives were clear: to further enhance water development and increase the cow herd by 30 percent. He also instituted research to determine the cause of a scourge among young cattle called yellow calf syndrome. As the nine-year management of Greenwell unfolds, the book offers a close look at the leadership team of the era, which included Harry Kawai, John Kawamoto, Willie Kaniho, Yutaka Kimura, John Lekelesa, and Henry Ah Fong Ah sam. The author, who became ranch veterinarian in 1970, also provides pesonal insights in the later sections of the book into the use of the element copper to greatly enhance the growth and health of cattle and the birth and expansion of the ranch?s Animal Health Program. The work concludes with the introduction fo the mainland management team of Jack Rubel and Gordon Lent, whose attempt to return to a pyramidal management structure took Parker Ranch by storm." --Jacket flaps.

This book was released on 2016-01-04 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arguably, no other institution has transformed the heart of Texas like the Lower Colorado River Authority. Born in the Great Depression of the 1930s, LCRA built a chain of dams and brought predictability to the cycles of extreme droughts and floods that had long plagued Austin and other communities. It also brought hydroelectric power—and with that, modern-day civilization—to the hard-scrabble regions of Central and South Texas. With those achievements, and the support of powerful political leaders like Lyndon Johnson, LCRA for years was touted as one of the state’s major success stories. But LCRA has never been a stranger to controversy, and while it continues to provide much of the energy and water that fuels the economic engine of Austin and beyond, most people know very little about LCRA. In this book, readers will learn about the forces of nature and politics that combined to create LCRA; the colorful personalities who operated, supported, or fought with the agency; its spectacular successes, periodic blunders, and occasional failures; and its evolution into one of the largest public power organizations in Texas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""A friend of mine told me it takes about eight months to get over eight days in Wyoming. We've only been home one month, and I'm still dying to go back."" It was born out of a love for the area. It withstood the depression, a world war, and the destruction of a tornado, but it remained a haven for visitors to escape their fast paced lives. They came to the ranch from all over the world to step back in time and to reap the rewards of what this ranch and its peaceful nature had to offer. Although our adventure at Ranger Creek Guest Ranch was about to begin, it didn't come easily. Our journey to the Ranch began several years earlier with a doctor's visit followed by a biopsy and the news that no parent wants to hear: ""Your son has cancer."" Brandon's diagnosis and the experiences that followed changed our family's lives forever. The journey was not always easy, our lives have been touched by the people we met along the way, and our hearts are full of wonderful memories of these people and this special place known as Ranger Creek Guest Ranch.
Download or read book Wranglin Notes written by Tom Ringley and published by . This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There is an allure to Eatons' Ranch that can't be explained." So begins the Foreword by the Ranch's current general manager Jeff Way and what he says has proved true for generations of Eaton family members, dudes and employees. One can't help but wonder if Howard Eaton, at the age of just seventeen, and the first of the Eaton brothers to go west in 1868, had any inkling of the enduring legacy they would eventually build and how many people down through the years would share a part of their dream. At Eatons', one of the oldest dude ranches in the West, you can still mount a horse and freely roam the Ranch's 7200 acres at the foot of the beautiful Big Horn mountains. The pleasures you experience will be little changed from the Ranch's earliest days as you follow the same trails traveled by generations of Eatons' guests. Author Tom Ringley has followed the historic trail of Eatons' itself, and of the many people who have played such a large part in its fascinating history. Filled with stories, photos and archival tidbits from the Ranch's own Wranglin' Notes newsletter, Tom's chronicle tells the complete story of this unique enterprise over the last 131 years and helps us understand the truth of Jeff's words: "Remember, once you are a guest here, you are always a part of Eatons' Ranch.
Download or read book Ranch Life written by Michael Hendrick Fitch and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ranch Life: And Other Sketches Cherry Creek to Franktown (named after Frank M. Gardner, the owner), over the divide about four miles east of Palmer Lake and thence into old Colorado City, thence down the Fountain river to Pueblo. The American's destination was the ranch on the little Fountain, known formerly as the Geiser ranch, three and one-half miles west of the present town of Fountain City. This latter place was then known as Terrellville, there being merely a house and a grout store building. Amos Terrell was the pioneer living in the house. In going from Terrellville to the Geiser ranch the road led over a bluff and high mesa then dropped down into the valley of the Little Fountain. Here a wide bottom very level and in the midst of it the ranch house, stables, corrals and a large meadow of natural blue stem grass greeted the eye. This meadow produced a great quantity of fine hay - perhaps a hundred tons - each season. Outside the meadow was merely dry prairie. Harvey Ring managed the ranch. He lived roy ally, drove a fine team of white trotters and en tertained like a true Colorado ranchman. The American came here as his guest until he could locate his family which was then in the East. Staying there two or three weeks he finally lo cated on a ranch on the Arkansas River three miles west of Pueblo.
