Several years ago I came up with an idea for a YouTube project.
The issue is that people don’t know where their food comes from. So, my plan was to buy a cow before it was born, watch it born, help raise it, help slaughter it, help butcher it, help pack it, and help eat it.
During the process, this city boy and his viewers would learn what it takes to properly raise a cow and take care of it as well as all the concerns a rancher has as a businessman.
You can’t just buy a few animals and hope to make a living as a rancher, I suspect. There’s experience and knowhow and chutzpah.
Do they say “chutzpah” in Oklahoma?
It takes balls.
Well, today I met Ted and Jada Davis of Morgan Davis International who own and operate Ironhorse Ranch in Macomb, Oklahoma.
Ted and Jada raise a special type of cattle called Wagyū which is the same thing as Kobe beef*. This beef is beyond prime — simply the finest meat you can eat.
Well, I told Ted my idea and he’s interested. He even had great ideas on how the program could be improved.
The whole project would be about three years long.
A boy would be named Jonathon, and a girl Dorothy. Both names mean “gift from God.”
I’m sure we’ll be discussing the idea as I complete their website at http://www.morgandavisinternational.com.
*Wagyu is called “Kobe” when the cattle were raised in Kobe, Japan.
