    Aug 27 2024

    Welcome to Country Tough with Brandy Von Holten. Lee Hart is the longest returning clinician at our facility (Von Holten Ranch in Mora, MO). Lee has had one to two clinics a year since we opened our facility to the public. Yes, Lee is a fierce competitor and horse trainer, but that is not why we keep singing his praises. Lee has a way of connecting with clinic participants that helps take them to their next level in their personal horsemanship journey. We would love for you to take a Lee Hart clinic at Von Holten Ranch and see why we keep asking him back.

  • 63. Derek Riggs: Mid Missouri Beef/ grass fed beef/ no hormone beef / farm raised beef / birth to butcher / know where your beef came from / 5th generation female rancher (wife) / 4th generation rancher
    Feb 21 2024

    Welcome to Country Tough with Brandy Von Holten. My guest today knows how to raise a good steak! Derek Riggs and his wife, Karla, own MidMissouriBeef.com Here is what their website says, "We are a family owned and operated ranch that produces a quality cut of beef. Karla is a 5th generation rancher that grew up raising and showing purebred Charolais. Derek is a 4th generation rancher that grew up on a cow/calf operation. Both Karla and Derek have taken the family ranching traditions down a little different road allowing them to reach the consumer directly and allowing them to see where and how their beef was raised.
    I had the opportunity to try their beef! It was "chef's kiss" AKA DELICIOUS! They are raising their beef from birth to butcher and taking the time to do it right!
