Josh Beavers on Breaking Into Cowboying & Learning the Unspoken Rules

<p>Neil and co-host Kyle Johnson welcome Josh Beavers, who explains his family name history (his dad was adopted after his biological father was murdered, leading to the Beavers surname) and discusses growing up near Dallas while spending weekends ranching in Kemp, Texas. Josh describes craving cowboy life, attending Tarleton, and learning by observing and absorbing "unspoken rules" about horsemanship, day work expectations, and maturity. He explains how his businessman father influenced his networking skills, helping him sell horses by relating to non-cowboy buyers. Josh outlines his career path through multiple states, including a major ranch job at Silver Spur Ranches in Walden, Colorado handling 15,000 yearlings, and his current role as a camper for Horton Ranches in southwest Kansas managing cows and heifers. He details his horse program, shifting from outside horses to owning, partnering with investors, and marketing horses through sales and professional media, emphasizing target audiences, pricing, and adding value.</p> <p dir="ltr">Find us online at <a href="http://www.thecowboyperspective.com">www.thecowboyperspective.com</a></p> <p dir="ltr">Josh on IG <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thatsalottabeavers/">@thatsalottabeavers</a></p> <p dir="ltr">Topics</p> <p dir="ltr">00:10 Welcome and Guest Intro</p> <p dir="ltr">01:17 Adoption and Identity</p> <p dir="ltr">03:38 Dallas to Ranch Life</p> <p dir="ltr">06:42 Tarleton Cowboy Immersion</p> <p dir="ltr">07:49 Colts Versus Finished Horses</p> <p dir="ltr">11:34 Unspoken Cowboy Rules</p> <p dir="ltr">15:16 Earning Opportunities</p> <p dir="ltr">21:08 Networking and Selling Horses</p> <p dir="ltr">26:15 Modern Culture and Hard Work</p> <p dir="ltr">31:09 Outdoor Childhood and Work Ethic</p> <p dir="ltr">32:09 Boots and Cowboy Style</p> <p dir="ltr">34:14 Driving Shoes Debate</p> <p dir="ltr">34:54 Rules Versus Reasons</p> <p dir="ltr">36:01 Backbone And Choice</p> <p dir="ltr">37:59 Kids Copy Everything</p> <p dir="ltr">39:42 Open Mind Not Naive</p> <p dir="ltr">42:05 Protect Your Energy</p> <p dir="ltr">44:43 Handling Online Trolls</p> <p dir="ltr">50:19 Standing Out Pays Off</p> <p dir="ltr">53:26 Imposter Syndrome Wins</p> <p dir="ltr">56:22 Cowboy Career Path</p> <p dir="ltr">59:31 Wyoming Yearlings Scale</p> <p dir="ltr">01:04:53 Kansas Camp Life</p> <p dir="ltr">01:07:23 Do You Want Ownership</p> <p dir="ltr">01:07:45 Tools For The Job</p> <p dir="ltr">01:08:42 The Yellow Horse</p> <p dir="ltr">01:11:29 Building A Horse Program</p> <p dir="ltr">01:13:19 Investors And Partnerships</p> <p dir="ltr">01:15:31 Selling To The Public</p> <p dir="ltr">01:18:09 Sales Versus Self Marketing</p> <p dir="ltr">01:22:53 Pricing Potential Horses</p> <p dir="ltr">01:29:21 Yellowstone Market Shift</p> <p dir="ltr">01:35:15 Marketing Makes Value</p> <p dir="ltr">01:39:50 Next Waves And Wrap Up</p> <p> </p>
