I love biographies and histories. This one about ranch life is absolutely wonderful. I wish Ray had included more clear photos and put his captions under the photos such as pp. 79, 98, 107. I love the comments about the company “suits” who, at times, didn’t know much about ranch life and work. Beaverhead Ranch originally started as Poindexter and Orr Ranch in 1865. Ray picks up the history from 1970 to 2011. Ray brought ranch life, work and his family’s involvement in a way you wish you could call him and ask about being personally involved. Again, an absolutely, wonderful auto biography and history. I highly recommended it to readers.

“A Cowboy in a Corporate World” is one of those rare books that is both very instructive and equally interesting. I have found myself unable to put this book down, and come away with a nugget of wisdom every time I pick it up. Fantastic book.

I enjoyed the book. I think dad enjoyed his visits to Montana mostly because of his rides with you. Jack Wood.

Thoroughly enjoyed your story and the balance of work family and faith. 30 years ago I was going broke after 25 years of farming (floods, drought, 20% interest). Tried sales and was miserable. Prayed to be busy! The good lord laid a career in my lap and I’ve been happily shoeing horses the last 30 years. Found several ‘pearls’ in your book.

I read the book from cover to cover in one sitting. Such a wonderful blend of ranching wisdom and spirituality that’s hard to achieve. I felt intrigued, entertained, and angry at different times, and I intend to implement many of your management practices to use on our operation. Great job Ray!
