The crew paused beneath the unforgiving Texas sun, sharing stories and laughter before heading back for a quick lunch and another round of calf work. Covered in dirt, sweat, and blood, they embodied the grit and camaraderie forged in the harshest conditions—where summer heat can kill and winter bites hard. But in Texas, where hospitality runs deep and legends are made, resilience is a way of life. This moment captures not just their strength, but the spirit of a place that’s taught me more about myself than I ever expected. Until I return, I’ll hold on to moments like this.
