Beaver County Stockyards Podcast

Dane Drake sits down with Stanley J. 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.

Beaver County Stockyards host Rodney Albert sits down with Congressman Frank Lucas—5th-generation Oklahoman and 32-year veteran of the Third Congressional District—to break down the 2026 Farm Bill, the New World screwworm crisis and the partial border reopening, wildfire and drought disaster relief, CRP land use, and what ranchers in Oklahoma, Texas, and Kansas should be doing right now to protect the farm safety net.

Beaver County Stockyards host Dane Drake sits down with Chris Ward - special ranger for the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association and self-described 'cowboy cop' - for a wide-ranging conversation on cattle theft across the Southern Plains, what it takes to investigate a Ponzi scheme involving 80,000+ head of paper cattle, and why brand inspection at sale barns is one of the biggest deterrents the industry is missing.
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.
