If you've ever sat in on a San Angelo sale, you've probably heard this witty auctioneer charmin' all buyers. He's the real deal!

Tate Rainey grew up ringside, watching his dad sell cattle with skill and passion. Every facet of the livestock world captivated him. After college, he started working in the sale barn as a ringman and sorting alley hand, trying to soak up as much knowledge about the business as he could.
Now heading into World Livestock Auctioneer Championship semifinals, he says he’s excited for the invaluable experience.
“It spotlights the livestock industry at its best,” Tate says. “Through honest, true marketing of cattle and mastery of the craft.”
Watch him and 30 other top bid callers compete for top honors in June.

Some of the best! See that guy on the right, if you've worked with us, then you've met Hagen! Craig Transport drivers have leaned on him for quite a few years when learning the ins and outs of sheep and goat handling. We are lucky to have this man in our corner, and Emily is just the best as well!

Behind the brand. Behind the hustle.

Lonesome Dove Rodeo
-Mini Broncs & Mutton Busters

The Hohertz Ranch was established in 1890, and in 1989 Daddy Hohertz coined it “The Lonesome Dove”...he kind of loved the movie. Today, the Lonesome Dove Ranch is home to part of the family business: Lonesome Dove Rodeo-Mini Broncs & Mutton Busters.

In 2003 a little cowboy wanted to ride some sheep, and since his dad owned a sheep and goat auction barn, they decided to go ALL IN! A spark was ignited! Heath bought his first herd of muttons, contracted with surrounding rodeos, and started bustin’ muttons.

Around 2009, a little cowgirl wanted to ride buckin’ horses, which got two old cowboys to thinkin’ about the future of rodeo and rough stock riders. Pace’s daughter was riding mini broncs at the Tom Butler, so the men bought some buckin’ horses, contracted with more rodeos, and well…you get the picture.

Today, Heath travels around Texas and New Mexico providing muttons and mini broncs, throw in the occasional stick horse ranch rodeo or goat roping, to youngster under 12. His commitment to kids, agriculture, and the future of rodeo is evident in everything he does. His comment to anyone who asks about what he does is, “We’re here for the kids.” Lonesome Dove Rodeo-Mini Broncs & Mutton Busters currently provides stock for some of the smallest as well as some of the biggest rodeos in Texas and New Mexico. He thrives on quality stock, efficiently maneuvering kids in and out of the arena, and building lasting relationships. His ultimate goal is to have his mini broncs as part of the qualifier for the Junior NFR in Las Vegas, Nevada and the World Finals in Wickenburg, Arizona.

The things we do for kids, especially our own!

These two guys deserve at lil 👏👏. They've helped out with new guys by showin them the ropes, they've helped to w**d out the weak links with their sparklin personalities. They've been a part of the growth and a few steps back. They've napped on our couch, played with our kids, had a few beers, and become part of our family. We appreciate you both.
