In this episode of From the Pasture with Hired Hand, Molly sits down with Dave Shappee and his daughter Alyssa Shappee of Mile High Longhorns in Agate, Colorado. From humble beginnings to a growing operation rooted in elite genetics and passion, the Shappees share their journey in the Longhorn industry. You’ll hear about the early days, the lessons learned, and how their vision has evolved “from new to now.” Alyssa shares the hilarious story of turning their everyday truck into a working farm truck, and Dave talks about the motivation behind their mission to support and connect with breeders across the country—especially in their region.

Tune in for inspiring stories, family-driven dedication, and how even a trailer can tell a tale of growth and grit.
