You know what's fascinating to me is I'll go out all week with these guys and we'll, you know, up at 3.30, you know, get them horses all saddled up, get them fed, get a little something breakfast in and get out and work all day roping, chasing cattle, fixing fences, driving a truck. And then come Friday, these guys put their horses in the truck, drive three, four miles to town, pay...
to go into the rodeo and compete at riding, breaking horses, and roping. What they were doing all week as a job. They're paying to compete on the weekends. And I'm always the first one there. I love it.
I need another pop back. Thank you. Thank you.
Very nice to be here. I'm very, very proud to be speaking in the Midwest there, Iowa.
Right. And there's a tiny little correction that you threw in one more zero than my herd. I wrench at least about 2,500 acres, but there's only 80. We can only get about 80, 85 head on that couple thousand acres.
And I wish I could. I wish I had that 800. But I know my friends are listening to this, and one of those cowboys is going to see me, and he's like, there you are bragging again, River, bragging again.
Oh, yeah, yeah. Six hats. All hat, but definitely cattle too.
Well, at least you didn't say eight. That would have been terrible to have that many hats and then only have eight heads.
Yeah, definitely summer, straw, and then, yeah, winter with felt. Yeah, and you know what? Cheap ain't good and good ain't cheap.
It's really the shape. So my felts all come, I like a guy called, it's Rand out of Billings, Montana. Once you get to a certain level of the felt, it's really the shaper. That's where you really, you find someone who knows how to shape for your head. That's going to make, he can make a hundred dollar hat look like a thousand dollar beaver. So it's the shaper that really can make a hat.
Shaper.
The guy that makes the – if they make the felt, that's one company. But then the people, they bring those blanks in, and then they do the shaping. And that's the artisan.
Oh, yeah. No, it's absolutely. Yeah, like this one here, this is probably the one I use the most. So just so you can see, it's for California. That's California flat hat.
So, yeah, and what they do is – so this part will come, and it will be five, six inches. So we'll cut it to whatever length you want here, and then they'll shape all of this into anything you want. But, yeah, and what's amazing is once it gets on, I can ride my horse at a full gallop, and I think that will not come off my head.
They all, it all means something. Absolutely.
Like it was like, Oh, and you go and you sit down at a, at a bar and someone, you know, some little gal's got a drink or two in her and she wants to try on your hat. If you're married or got a girlfriend, nobody touches a man's hat. Oh, wow.
There's some great ones.
That would be cool. Which one is the auctioneer of you all?
Sorry. Because that's one of those things I want to do on the show. A friend of mine was down in Turlock last year when they did the World Championship in Turlock. I guess it's in Iowa this year, right?
I don't mean next year. No, it's 2025. The World Champion Auctioneers. And I'm going to try to get that on the Rant show because it's just such a – I love – auctioneering is the cruelest.
