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!

I’ve Cowboyed a bit myself, on Ranches too small to mention. Ray, I enjoyed this book. I wanted to tell you that Amazon won’t let me write a review on your page. If you want a little Contemporary Western Fiction, try my book, also on Amazon, “Double Dagger Ranch & A Second Chance,” by James Gimpel. Thank you for sharing your story. It is so hard to explain the life of a Cowboy to folks these days. The corrupted versions, as shown on TV/Movies etc., really muddy the water. I think you pulled off a good reply to that & it was needed. Cordially, Jim Gimpel

I really enjoyed reading Cowboy in a Corporate World. It was informative and written from the heart. The perseverance of hardships, the insight into people, and the many improvements and accomplishments make for a great read.

I worked on the Matador for a short time at the Sage Creek place with Vernon Krugg. It was during calving season in 1993. I had an offer to stay, but there was a girl. . . . Should have stayed on at Sage Creek.
