James and Debby Farr: Farr Cross Longhorns

In 2021 we met a truly interesting couple, James and Debby Farr of Farr Cross Ranch. They sat down with us (okay, so the people stood, but some of the cows were prone) in the hot, breezy, lush and green fields of Terrell, Texas…

WAIT. Lush green fields? Texas? We’re expected to believe THAT one?!?!

Yep – and we have visuals to prove it. James and Debbie live in an area just east of Texas that is fortunate enough to be in a sweet spot, as far as rain is concerned this year. And that’s a good thing, because it’s all about the grass, according to James. He’s an Original Longhorn fan, sure, but he’s a guy with a business perspective on the issue. Rate of gain, marketability, and the realities of beef production are his focus. He’s a guy with a business bent and a vision, and one of those that’s hoping to combine the realities of business in beef production with genetic potential in the CTLR universe.

For a location shoot, this one couldn’t have been prettier. That’s a good thing, because the nice footage somewhat mitigated the loss of the portable mics somewhere on 160 acres of lovely green grass. The next time Elara rides on the back of the ATV, she will hold on to the gear bag a little tighter, for the sake of her marriage.

And just a side note – If you want to see some truly snazzy custom handmade western boots, check out our links for Debby’s company, Mercedes Boots. You won’t get these at your local shoe store -- even in Texas.
