We’re gearing up for Battle On The Prairie Longhorn Futurity 2026 on April 24th in Duncan, Oklahoma, and in this presale episode we’re joined by Josh Dinwiddie of Plain Dirt Farms, the team presenting this year’s event. Josh shares what makes Battle on the Prairie a can’t-miss stop—built to showcase Longhorn evolution at its finest and bring the industry together in one electric setting.Battle on the Prairie is a heifer and bull futurity focused on identifying select heifer calves that can mature into the elite, productive cows of tomorrow. We talk about the challenge of predicting which calves will become the best three-year-olds, the value of evaluating cattle and programs side-by-side, and the packed-coliseum atmosphere that includes sponsors and industry insight alongside the competition.We also highlight the youth program, “Sawyer Spotlight,” created to give kids real ring experience with their heifer (parent-escorted) in front of the judges. It’s a non-judged class with announcer Q&amp;A, encouragement, and awards for every participant—designed to build confidence and grow the next generation in this breed.

Top Cattle, Big Weekend, Great People: 2026 Longhorn Legacy Sale Preview

In this episode, we sit down with Brittany Pierce and Kale Pierce of Broken Oak Ranch in Weatherford, Texas to hear how they’re building a ranch rooted in the western lifestyle and driven by a simple mission: raise stock with quality, genetics, and purpose. Brittany and Kale share what goes into developing a Texas Longhorn program focused on balance and beauty—selecting cattle with powerful frames, eye-catching horn sets, and pedigrees backed by proven families, all while honoring and advancing the legacy of the breed.Then we head beyond the pasture and into the barrel horse arena, where Broken Oak competes at rodeos, futurities, and derbies nationwide. We talk about what they breed and look for in true performance horses—heart, athleticism, and longevity—and how that same standard of excellence connects everything they do. Whether you’re a cattle enthusiast, a horse person, or just love a great ranch story, this episode is a look at two livestock worlds united by one clear vision—pride in every stride and every horn.Broken Oak Ranch: <a href='https://www.brokenoaklonghorns.com/Default.aspx?action=home'>https://www.brokenoaklonghorns.com/</a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/760085/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a> From the Pasture with Hired Hand: Hired Hand Websites (@hiredhandwebsites): <a href='https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqa2xBcWI2cFNBVzdvUU1TNnZZLUthQUNuQUY4d3xBQ3Jtc0tsaUV6U1Q2d2pJbnQ1WVRQdGVXLXppNDNjWnhlNnRvYkNJWGNRVTB6X2lxa0cwN3RSRHVPLW5oY1hUSGJpQ3llRUo4VWZMWjhCWDVXWkRXNkhKcW40cWlmSmNYWGhsZzdoYVVYSEEwcUNSWEdFTWFaRQ&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Fhiredhandsoftware.com%2F&amp;v=hCo1eYZskwY'>https://hiredhandsoftware.com</a> Hired Hand Live (@hiredhandlive): <a href='https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqa1kySjRPUHU1aWxrRFhFeXhtekxqamltbXVLUXxBQ3Jtc0ttcGhaenkyaEdpRkJaY252NThJeTZUUU95Q292ZDktOVNuRjhya2pWVEgyTkRET3ZLQ0hvd2lQN3Axb2Rxek5KM3dkRGprZEFYa0VZN0NhSGdYNFVheElfeGJvdTI2S1U0Rl9rNllzb2tfUUJUU19hcw&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Fhiredhandlive.com%2F&amp;v=hCo1eYZskwY'>https://hiredhandlive.com</a> Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hiredhandwebsites/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HiredHandSoftware TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hiredhandwebsites Newsletter: https://www.hiredhandsoftware.com/resources/stay-informed
