When I observe your heavens , the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you set in place, what is a human being that you remember him?

POSTS STORIES REELS

Pulled the camera out to grab some snippets of life out here in Fellsmere. Switching to a more regenerative approach with cattle has been the best choice I’ve ever made and also added a lot to the work load. I get the privelage of going and working all day only to come home and work some more ( a quiet reality for every single rancher in the US pretty much) to try and restore the land the Lord has given my family to steward.

The results are very rewarding and even the difference from last summer to now is truly astonishing. I’ve seen small things such as new species of bugs to our ranch showing up all the way to seeing more ducks and other birds making appearances and calling our pastures home. After learning these methods out west at @alderspring_ranch I couldn’t honestly continue to run cattle the same way we always have. I am very lucky to have a Father who not only listens to an idea that sounds absolutely absurd , but who trusts me enough to let me attempt just about anything. The goal ? To raise beef we can stand behind and where I can tell you where they were and almost exactly what they’ve eaten in the past year, this can prove to be difficult because new species of grasses I’ve never seen myself show up and next thing you know I’m sitting down taking pictures and researching them to better understand them. I get called a tree hugger by mostly everyone who’s around me now…
I have truly never enjoyed something as much as I do this whole process. I don’t have it figured out fully, I make mistakes , I sweat and regrettably let my anger get the best of me when the cows start running down the back fence line but I’ve never felt such joy and satisfaction from a task that 98% of the population would dread. I will happily bring my trusted dogs and horses out to push these beautiful creatures around while they turn my home into a more beautiful and balanced ecosystem.
How fancy is God that a creature turns plants into delicious food that has fed our country for generations?

Better appreciate your ranchers while we still have them before Florida decides to make our entire state a parking lot for tourists and at this rate ? You don’t have long at all. by @c4lbryce

If you would have asked me in January if I’d ever move out of Florida I would have told you to kick rocks. Yet here I am in Idaho with a bunch of random people I met only a couple months ago working at the coolest ranch in the states. You can’t even begin to wrap your mind around how amazing this job and place is until you’ve experienced it for yourself. The grace and kindness of the Elzinga family is unmatched and they truly embody Christ in all that they do. I’m blessed beyond measure to have not only been offered this job but to be taught by true masters of their craft. I lived out a dream and got to put many miles in a saddle in such a short time. I found new interests and got truly humbled in how little I know about all areas of life and work. Thank you to every single person who worked, laughed, taught, and tolerated me throughout this experience. by @c4lbryce

Just a small part of life since I moved to Idaho! much more to be shown but I’m being lazy and not downloading the pictures by @c4lbryce

Hitting a year of sobriety in February this year seemed impossible a couple years ago but so did Jesus raising from the grave. Good thing I serve a God that can do the impossible. Happy Easter and if you don’t know Jesus I strongly suggest you get to know him and I can give you a personal testament there’s nothing at the bottom of that bottle that is going to help you. If he can pull me out, he can pull you out too! by @c4lbryce

Praise God for a great 2026 Cracker Day Rodeo and it being a beautiful day. Had some great cowboys putting up an honest fight. Laid on the ground for a couple hours and snagged some photos I figured were worth sharing. If you are in any of them reach out to me & I’ll send over your copies ! #crackerdayrodeo #cowboys by @c4lbryce

Per usual, cows , family, dog , and whatever else I could find make the cut. Remember everyone , support your local ranchers so we can stop seeing apartments pop up that no one can afford to live in anyways ! Love my family, love my dog, love my home ! Praise God for all of them

Little update for anyone not keeping up with the stories , a lot of work done in a very short time frame. Got the rest of my paint for the cab today and after this begins the rebuild of all the new interior I got then bed rebuild ! Enjoy by @c4lbryce

Couple days worth of taking apart the f350!
Wasn’t the easiest due to my lack of knowledge on how it all comes apart, more so the dash than anything but nonetheless I got it done. Stripped to bare metal and ready for the next steps of the process. I don’t usually film things like this so it was a new process and a bit strange. One of my favorite parts of having this truck rebuild going has been everyone involved and showing interest, seems to really bring people together especially my family since we all held my grandfather in high regard and now they get to see this truck get the love it deserves. God has been kind in making it go fairly smooth so far and I pray this trend continues as I tackle some of the more difficult things. The paint is at the ranch and sitting waiting ! I’ll do my best to film that as well hopefully with the help of some friends. Thanks for watching by @c4lbryce

pondering a bit on the latest chapters in my life and finding a lot of fond memories. From the adventure of a lifetime out west to being able to see my bestfriends son in the hospital , there’s been no shortage of stories that fall into my lap. Learned a good bit , walked a lot of miles , and got to spend valuable time with the people I love the most. No clue what’s next but I’m sure the Lord has something to keep me entertained. by @c4lbryce

was informed by neighbors there are in fact sharks in the ocean, must say it was a world shattering fact by @c4lbryce

Thank ya Lord for the orange sunsets

healthy calves and fat mommas

For good dogs with big smiles

And for the hallowed ground we call home

Thank you for the long days and hard jobs

For all the things we get right and the many we get wrong

For all the things that crawl both little and small

Thank you for gentle horses and worn saddles

I can’t ask for anything else except just one more day with it Lord by @c4lbryce

finally found a minute in my absolutely crazy schedule to go spend some time out in old Florida scouting for some turkey, she did not disappoint and it was a well needed break. Thank the Lord above for creating this place and thank you for your son dying for us. by @c4lbryce
