Carlink Ranch - The Struggle of Maintaining your own Heritage

ER EP. 12 - The Carlink ranch was established in 1884. Since the purchase of the ranch 6 generations ago, Mother Nature has run her course on this rural ranch in southern Arizona. Native high protein grasses used to fill the valley until the encroachment of mesquite trees forcing native grasses and water sources to a minimum. 

Environmentalist trying to influence the change of the valley is one of the many issues the ranch is constantly defending. 

Wildlife depend on Ranchers just like the ranchers depend on wildlife. Andy works closely with the Arizona desert bighorn sheep society and the Arizona game and fish to help the wildlife population and ecosystems. Waterholes have been installed on his ranch to increase and source water for all wildlife on the ranch. 

This family goes through the same struggles in real life that Yellowstone's storyline depicts. We were luck enough to sit down and hear the history of the ranch and bring to light some of the things ranchers and farmers face everyday.
