§ 02 — The Chapters

Four families. One cooperative.

Each chapter is built around the verifiable reality of a single ranching operation — its land, its herd, its labor.

Halverson Cattle Co.

Powder River Basin, Wyoming

Cold mornings, black coffee, and a fence line that's held four generations.

San Juan County, Utah

Red rock, red dust, and a remuda that's been bred on this ground for ninety years.

Beaverhead Valley, Montana

One hundred and thirty-six years of wool, traced from this valley to the loom.

Hill Country, Texas

Cedar, limestone, and a brand that's worked Hill Country since before the railroad got here.
