39 Years Selling on Superior: The Lundy Ranch Story

Added: 2026-06-01

[00:00:06]All right, we got four trucks to weigh.

[00:00:08]The cattle we're shipping this morning go to Minnesota. And I think these trucks are out of South Dakota.

[00:00:15]After we out, we'll head a few miles down the road before we'll load.

[00:00:23]Oh.

[00:00:43]39700.

[00:00:46]Okay.

[00:00:54]All right.

[00:00:58]That's all that.

[00:01:01]Now we're going to go load some cattle.

[00:01:17]We're going down here to get four loads of yardings from Tommy Lundy and 3L Cattle Company from Lundy Ranch and 3L Cattle Company. Lee Lundy was the uh man I first started with way back 87.

[00:01:36]I've been selling the cattle for a long time.

[00:01:41]And we're going to be dealing with Tommy Lundy and his daughter is there.

[00:01:46]Leel Lundy the third generation coming.

[00:01:49]She's works on the ranch all the time and uh she's got the fourth generation far as a baby and then and she's carrying one. So the Lundy ranches will live on for a while.

[00:02:08]And this set of cattle sold on the G Coast Classic last month brought good money.

[00:02:16]Yes.

[00:02:17]>> Yes.

[00:02:20]>> Yeah. Asking seven.

[00:02:25]>> Now eight. Ask the 48.

[00:02:28]>> That'll be good there.

[00:02:34]>> Now nine.

[00:02:37]>> Getting better all the time.

[00:02:38]>> Yeah.

[00:02:44]I got 50.

[00:02:47]>> Got nine asking 50.

[00:02:53]>> N and a half. Now 50.

[00:03:03]>> And 351 and a half.

[00:03:08]>> Good gosh.

[00:03:12]packages.

[00:03:14]>> That's a pretty good chunk of money right there for that many of them. Okay, >> right now 363 >> brought 363.

[00:03:25]>> Okay, that'll work. All right.

[00:03:28]>> All right. Good deal. Thank you, girl.

[00:03:30]>> I guess we had enough film on them.

[00:03:32]>> Yeah, I guess so.

[00:03:33]>> It looked pretty good, too. We'll see you.

[00:03:46]I usually get there a little 48 and usually have them in the pin by eight.

[00:03:56]Pretty rough right here.

[00:04:00]This will be like dragging ball and chain these trucks on this rough road.

[00:04:03]They'll be going about 3 4 miles an hour. It'll seem like 40 miles down this road, but it's about five.

[00:04:13]Uh-oh. Them trucks was right behind us.

[00:04:17]>> They wreck or something.

[00:04:27]>> Mark ahead.

[00:04:38]Now he got his hood up.

[00:04:41]>> Others still on the damn highway.

[00:05:06]been a step.

[00:05:08]>> We're not going to fit under there.

[00:05:11]>> I brought three down here yesterday.

[00:05:13]>> Anybody with a chainsaw?

[00:05:14]>> We We brought three down here yesterday.

[00:05:16]We always come down here.

[00:05:20]>> Yeah. But were they 14 foot tall?

[00:05:22]>> I don't know. Are y'all taller than normal?

[00:05:38]He had already He backed up. He already dented the top of the trailer.

[00:05:49]>> Looks like he can move over that way a little ways. Oh, then there's that branch over there.

[00:05:54]>> Huh? Oh, >> there's a big dent in my trailer now.

[00:05:57]You got something you can lift it up with?

[00:05:59]>> No, I don't.

[00:06:02]>> Chainsaw.

[00:06:02]>> I might go get a chain somebody with a chainsaw. Y'all can't sit there on the road all day. I regular the other lane open.

[00:06:09]>> Yeah, even we can't even can't even uh center it because if we center it, then it's going to hit the center of the trailer.

[00:06:21]Vinnie is 4 in taller than I am.

[00:06:23]>> Yeah, Vinnie is 4 in taller.

[00:06:38]>> I might try to pull up a little bit more. Tommy, is anybody you got anybody could come with a tractor? Get in the bucket and cut this one limb off.

[00:06:57]Are y'all Well, I mean, can you go ahead y'all got them pinned yet or close?

[00:07:04]Okay. Well, I would just have to wait.

[00:07:08]So, go ahead and pin the cattle and then I don't know what we got. You can't get by here. I don't I don't know what we're going to do.

[00:07:18]A day down day of the luck, but it's always something.

[00:07:33]And there's a something.

[00:08:02]He was hung up under there.

[00:08:05]>> I said I need to cut all the way back.

[00:08:07]>> I I think just right there.

[00:08:10]>> Even with the road.

[00:08:11]>> Even with the road and that's the main that's the main thing. They can move over a little. That's the biggest deal.

[00:08:16]We can drag it over yonder and just be done with it. I think I think that'd be better than just cutting off a limb and still having more problems later on.

[00:08:26]I think just cut it right. Yeah. Or even with that brown stuff just you know what I mean?

[00:08:33]>> Yeah.

[00:08:33]>> It's right there on the edge.

[00:08:41]>> Well, they'll be here in just a minute.

[00:08:43]His headquarters right across the road.

[00:08:47]He'll be back with the tractor.

[00:08:50]You just need some logging.

[00:08:56]Heat.

[00:09:15]Heat.

[00:09:28]Got that thing right past that crook.

And Gerald Gerald and Superior been real good for us for 30 something years. and uh I've had the same good results with him and Will. So, we're real pleased. Uh Lee was one he was one of my first customers cuz I I'd always heard that when you start something new, you go shoot the baddest dude first. And Lee was the toughest one there was. So when I got him on, I got the rest of the rest of the world to do his all right. believe you.

[00:14:52]If police believe that is good, that is good, wasn't it? Stop it. That's right.

[00:14:58]>> Everything's taken care of. Gerald takes care of the trucks and uh any kind of incidents like that. And I'm always uh confident of his honesty and uh feel like he takes care of me as a as a seller. And the times that he's bought for me, I felt like he took care of me as a as a buyer. And so, uh, it's just good all the way around. Coming and going. Check's always good, too. Checks always good.

[00:15:23]>> Check's always good on Spirit.
