Wow. I wonder if it sales if that is the end of one of the biggest exotic livestock auction sales each year. I wonder if it would keep going. The YO is a fantastic place. It's a shame it would have to be broken up.

The kids were born with a golden spoon in their mouth, and are too selfish to handle this like a family should.

I never would have thought a person could be rich enough to buy such a place, it's a shame the family is going through with it. But on the up side I wonder if the new owners are gonna be hiring.

Proof ranching is not profitable. Owes $170,000 and has an asset worth millions??

Sounds like a good project for Bob Simpson. He has the money, loves to buy ranches of that size, and loves to keep history in tact.

It sounds like maybe two have money problems and two want to continue as is. It looks like a least one of the ones wanting to see it continue, would rather see it sold as a going concern, rather than being split. we'll see what happens.
for every stereotype there's a prototype don't be the prototype

The family that runs that place is a bunch of crazy inbreds. That guy running the microphone at the auction is a joke, and I'm surprised the auctioneer never told him to just shut up or flat out punch him in the face.

Louie and Charlie III have to be churning in their graves. They fought hard to keep the ranch as a profitable going concern. This is truly a pity but a scene we often see by the 3rd to 5th generation in families like this.

This is truly a pity but a scene we often see by the 3rd to 5th generation in families like this. This ^^^^^^^. Louie actually had the ranch turned around and making a great return from the debts that he inherited when he took it over. I knew Louie and had done business with him for years. Charlie III was a great man and I always enjoyed the times I spent with him. They were both great men.

YO has been a great place to me and my family. They have treated me with the upmost class every time I have gone there and never ceased to surprise me and amaze my family and my kids. In my eyes the exotic industry will not be the same without the YO.

Just a macrocosm of what happens to a lot of ranches.
I think there's always been "family squabbles". Ranch from Kerrville to Menard, banking, railroads. What could possibly go wrong?
