Legacy of the Barby Bridge



Bill Barby has spent his life working the rugged country along the Cimarron River on the Kansas/Oklahoma border. When it came time to retire, he didn't just walk away—he spent five years meticulously building a bridge to hand-off his legacy to a family he trusts with his life. It’s a story of creative solutions and deep-seated trust.


Since we recorded this interview, the Barby ranch has faced a devastating wildfire. Every acre burned, forcing a quick evacuation of the herd. As you listen to Bill talk about his love for the land and his unique partnership, please keep him and his community in your prayers as they begin the hard work of rebuilding.
