The family didn't know.

The communication wasn't there.

There was lots of fighting going on, and it tore the ranch and the family apart.

And we loved the idea of keeping the ranch all together.

But then we had four siblings who wanted to go four different directions.

And so what they were afraid of is that we wouldn't go anywhere because we would have no chief.

And if we selected a chief, that it wouldn't be good because three don't want to go that direction.

My daddy's the only one that wanted to do the seed stock side.

I have an aunt and uncle that are great on the yearling side and farming.

I have another one that didn't have any interest in genetics and just wanted to do the commercial side.

And another one that was really involved in feeding cattle and yearlings and horses.

And so there's kind of four different directions there.

And so the best way that they...

And I believe it was the best route is they did.

I don't like the word split, but they did.

They split it.

We still all work together, but we're ahead of they are ahead of their part and they make the decisions.

And if they want to partner with another part of the family, we can just separate it into specialty.

Yeah, and I think, I mean, my granddad definitely was, but my grandmother was a big, big part of that, of wanting to watch her kids be able to do what they love because she got to do the same thing.

Yeah, he was slowing down by that point.
