 I'm Pat Guppel from on our ranch at Quinn, South Dakota. And I'm his better half. Our ranch was started by Mary Lou's dad. We're a second generation and we raised our five kids on this ranch. We're a cow-calf operation, custom-grazed yearlings, and grass-finished cattle, if we ever find a market for it. We run a grass operation and we have no farming. Our, I guess, claims to fame here is we do have a pretty good drought plan. And water is a huge one here, but we try to save every drop of rain we get and keep things going. The drier it gets, the more we manage the cow herd. We try to always leave that ground covered, leave that armor on the ground because we don't need to take all that grass off. We leave some to catch snow and feed the microbes. If you can cover your ground in a drought and leave it covered, as soon as it rains within 30 to 45 days, it's ready to go again. But if you bear the ground, it may be three to five years before you can do it. The last two years, our cows have grazed all winter and that really helps the bottom line. Pat and I, we don't argue too much. So I guess we're getting along and our satisfaction must be pretty good. I mean, I enjoy it. So in a span of six years, we more than double the organic matter in. And all that is a storage for water. It is a higher stress factor. And yeah, you can hear it when you go to town. Don't know what I'm going to do with my cows and that stuff. And I can remember being in the same boat. Yeah, the stress level is a little terrible high. Now, with our ability to have less inputs, we don't worry as much about the markets because we can't change that. We had to learn and then we're not sure if what we're doing is right. But if stress hits it's only for an hour or two and then we're kind of throw it and go on with life. The things that you can control are the only things that you really need to worry about. You can't change the weather. Yeah, open up a gate and move some salt mineral feeders and they follow you. I mean, stress is eliminated for everything. You were confident because everybody else was doing exactly what you were doing. You were doing exactly what they were doing. So, you know, you were all just in the same boat. Now, it's a completely different side of it where you're confident because of what the ground is doing and what the microbes are doing. Instead of looking out and seeing what everybody else was doing, you're looking here. This is what we're doing. This is how we see the improvements. And that's where your confidence is. With me, the more I learn, the more confident I get.
