Yet Weatherby states that while they don’t want to be taken advantage of, they don’t worry about it because if you’re not being taken advantage of every now and then you’re likely not being loving.
Like anything that seems simple, the program has been questioned for its lack of qualifications for individuals requesting beef. Many of the cows themselves are donated to the ranch. All work and expenses of the ranch are supported by men and women who donate through the Long X Ranch Cowboys program. The ranches provide beef cattle to local individuals facing hunger. Save the Cowboy operates three ranches entirely run by donations through the subscription program Long X Ranch. Their social outreach shares the love of God without asking for anything in return. While the Colorado location offers weekly church services, men and women from all over the world connect with the ministry through online streaming, social media, the paraphrased Bibles Weatherby produces, and their social outreach. Scripture, personal stories, and moments from the ranch all point followers towards engaging with Jesus on their own more deeply. While the old timers might not all be on social media, their children are, and this has proven a powerful way to share the Gospel with those who enjoy stories and analogies in language they understand. The ministry has continued to grow with its social media presence one of the biggest avenues to connect with those in the cowboy world. Weatherby was floored, but faithful, and soon he and his family were heading to Colorado. He wasn’t entertaining her idea until his phone rang one afternoon and the voice on the other end said– “You don’t know me but God told me to call you and tell you that you’re supposed to plant a cowboy church in Elbert County, Colorado.” Like any true Texan, Weatherby had some strong objections. Things were going well with his job, the church, and life in general, so when his wife started talking about moving to Colorado, he couldn’t see the rationale. While he felt he gave his heart to Jesus as a teenager and sincerely meant it, it wasn’t until these later years that he gave his life to Christ as well. He was hesitant, but accepted, and became a bivocational preacher working in oilfield sales and running the church. When the pastor left for another opportunity, the congregation wanted him in that spot. He became involved with the music team and later became a lay pastor. Upon arriving for that Sunday service, the first thing he saw was two kids trying to head and heel a border collie. He’d never heard of such a thing and decided it was worth checking out. Keep watching our page for updates as we expand our herd in the coming months and years.During his ranching days Weatherby was told about something called a cowboy church. We wean in late October/early November and halter break the colts then. We take deposits beginning August 1st (half down). We will be offering weanlings for sale yearly in the late fall. We currently have three draft studs - 2 registered Percherons (Mack & Soon To Be Announced) and 1 registered Gypsy Vanner (Scout). There isn’t anything they can’t do and once broke.they stay broke.
So, why half-draft horses? We fell in love with half-drafts (half percheron and half quarter horse) back in 2006 when we acquired our first horse of that breeding. We began our half-draft breeding program in 2018 with our first foals born in the spring of 2019. We raise commercial Black Angus cattle and half-draft ranch horses. We love the fact that we are able to raise our son, Stone, the same way that we were raised. We feel incredibly grateful to be able to continue on with our deep-rooted ranching family tradition.for many more generations God willing. We are proud to own the Lazy Six Nine brand as it has been in the family for over 50 years. We are both Montana natives and enjoy breeding and raising our half draft colts in the south central part of the state. We are 5th generation ranchers with a love of the land, cattle and good ranch horses.
The Lazy Six Nine Ranch is owned by Shane & Cheyenne Wilson.
