Finally Friday!

It’s finally Friday, and we’re looking forward to another busy weekend working with the animals and making progress around the ranch.

Kaine and Maxx are headed up to Skip’s to pick up the vehicles, while Kade will be spending plenty of time riding and working with his steers and heifers. Anna is getting her pairs gathered up to take to Sagebrush and sorting through the calves she’ll be halter breaking and offering for sale.

As always, there will be plenty of chores, feeding, checking livestock, and making sure everything is ready for the week ahead. Around here, weekends aren’t about slowing down—they’re about getting caught up and spending time doing what we enjoy most.

There’s something rewarding about seeing young livestock develop, watching cattle settle into new pastures, and putting in the work that helps prepare them for their future. Every day may not be easy, but it’s a life we’re thankful for.

We hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable weekend, whether you’re headed to a show, branding, haying, or simply spending time with family and friends.

Here’s to a productive weekend and making the most of these summer days!

Thursday Thoughts

We had another great week here at the ranch, and it was one of those weeks where everyone seemed to be headed in a different direction!

Anna and Kade did a fantastic job at Regionals in Filer. Samantha, Kade’s Simmental heifer, showed great all week and was a real trooper. Anna’s fall heifer, Baby from Nowatzke, was Reserve Champion in her division, her bred-and-owned heifer was Champion in her division, Kade’s DLX heifer won her class, and Anna’s Seldom Rest heifer placed 4th in her class. We’re proud of all the hard work these kids put into their cattle.

Jaxsen spent the week at football camp and had a great time. He was back home on Friday to help with chores, which was much appreciated.

Back at the ranch, Mom and I spent the week doctoring Cal’s leg. Mom, Dad, and I handled the horse chores while the men took care of the cattle chores. Ben kept busy working on circles and helping where needed.

Kaine spent the entire week in Yakima practicing for the East vs. West State Football Game. On Saturday, Mom, Dad, Ben, Jaxsen, Terry, Erina, JayCee, and I made the trip to watch. The game was awesome—although it was definitely HOT! Kaine and Max, the two boys representing Connell, had a great experience and made some memories they’ll never forget.

After the game, we headed home Saturday night and got chores done before calling it a day. Toni, Anna, and Kade wrapped up showing and made it home around 11 that night.

Sunday was spent celebrating the fathers in our lives. We’re thankful for the dads, grandpas, and father figures who teach us the value of hard work, integrity, and perseverance every day.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!

As always, thank you for following along with our ranch adventures. We hope everyone has a great week ahead!

Saturday Colt Spotlight – KT Double the Payday

If you’re looking for a colt that blends reining talent, ranch practicality, cow sense, and foundation bloodlines — here’s one worth paying attention to. He is an in your business type of colt so hard to get pics of. He is halter broke as well.

KT Double the Payday is a sharp-made palomino colt by KT OneShadie Captain (“Cappy”) and out of KT Easter Bunny (“Peanut”). He’s got the look, the pedigree, and the kind of mind we’ve come to expect from this family.

Cappy is backed by generations of proven performers. His dam, A Little Shadie Chic (“Shadie”), had a successful NRHA career including a 2006 Reserve Regional Experience Championship in Region One, AQHA points, and later became the kind of mare trusted to carry young riders in the show pen.

The pedigree behind her is stacked:
✨ Comandalena — over $143,000 earned and 260.5 AQHA points
✨ A Little Shady Jac
✨ Smart Little Lena
✨ Hollywood Jac 86
✨ Doc Tom Tucker
✨ Fritz Command

On the top side, Captains Double Coy (“Double”) was the kind of stallion we still talk about often around here. He consistently stamped his foals with cow, brains, athleticism, and easy-going dispositions. We still use several of his daughters on the ranch today, and Kade ropes off a couple of them regularly.

On the bottom side, Peanut adds foundation strength and personality. She’s a sweet-natured dunalino mare by KT Heza Pana Dude, carrying lines that trace back to Zinks Major Kid, Pana Dude, Major Bonanza, Skipper W, and Skipster.

This colt is bred to go in just about any direction:
✔ Ranch horse
✔ Rope horse
✔ Reining prospect
✔ Cowhorse
✔ Family using horse

Performance on paper. Ability in the pasture. The kind of colt that should only get better with time.

DOB: 3/23/26
Color: Palomino

Some fillies just have that look from day one — color, shape, presence, and a pedigree stacked with talent. “Bean” is one of those fillies.

Sired by KT HotTimein Cowtown, “Tank,” this filly carries elite reining and cow horse bloodlines top and bottom. Tank is by KR Gun Powder, the 2016 APHA Senior Reining World Champion and NRHA money earner, and a son of the legendary Colonels Smoking Gun (“Gunner”). On the bottom side, Tank is out of KT Cow Cuttin Hottie, by Cow Cuttin Colonel, bringing proven cow horse ability, athleticism, and trainability into the mix.

Her dam, “Mocha,” is the kind of mare every breeding program needs more of — consistent, dependable, and proven to raise good-minded, usable horses with substance and athletic ability. Her pedigree ties together powerhouse names like Smart Little Lena, Docs Oak, Jackie Bee, Tuff Continental, Wimpy, and Skipper W. Even better? Her daughter “Jojo” has become Anna’s go-to riding horse, and we think that says a lot about the kind of horses Mocha produces.

Bean combines:
✔ Proven performance pedigree
✔ Eye-catching palomino color
✔ Shape, balance & athletic ability
✔ Trainable, willing disposition
✔ Real-world ranch and performance potential

This is the kind of filly that fits a lot of programs and a lot of dreams. The only problem? The longer she stays here… the harder she is to sell.

Get her now before we decide she’s staying at KT Ranch.
