Barby to trace the Barby Ranch from its roots - a German immigrant shoe cobbler who survived a wildfire on Hog Creek in Hodgeman County, Kansas, to a 13-year-old boy who rode south alone and started putting together what would become one of the most legendary ranches in the Oklahoma Panhandle. From No Man's Land and the Dalton Gang hideout on the Beaver River, to branding Hereford cattle across 70 sections and a summer-long recovery from a broken hip at age nine, this is a story you won't hear anywhere else.

Chris spent nearly 30 years with the Texas Highway Patrol before retiring and stepping directly into his current role covering a 24-county district across Texas and Oklahoma. He breaks down how cattle theft actually gets investigated, what evidence matters, why grandpa almost never files charges on his own grandkid, and what the second-largest ag crime in U.S. history looked like from the inside.
