Let’s get to it.

Texas Slim makes a spirited return to broadcasting with his brand-new series, "Yeehaw! Cowboy Talk." This series promises a mix of heartfelt, random musings with a healthy dose of sarcasm and that distinctive West Texas Dirt Road Twang. Slim plans to share tales of his adventures and insights, offering a glimpse into his life, his beginnings, and his clear vision for the future. As someone who's traveled extensively, covering 160k miles across three continents and circling the globe 1.5 times in less than three years, he brings a wealth of experience and stories, especially from his quest for global #BeefIntelligence.

Slim is setting the stage for a modern-day, local and global cattle drive, calling on listeners to gear up for some "catastrophic winds" ahead. He hints at exciting, challenging times, urging his audience to embrace integrity and focus, drawing parallels between life's trials and the journey of a professional team roper learning the ropes. Highlighting the foundational spirit of the American Cowboy, Slim shares anecdotes of camaraderie and resilience, from East Texas's distinct accent to the humorous and sometimes perilous cowboy life, including his own air-lifting adventure across the southern Rockies.

Announcing a grand vision for a "Worldwide #BeefIntelligence Kingdom Series" dubbed the new International Lifestyle, Slim intertwines his personal adventures with broader themes of market access, spirit, and freedom. He passionately speaks about combating what he sees as threats to children's innocence and the "Harvest of Deception," signaling a bold stance against undisclosed adversaries. With a nod to his roots and the "True Grit" instilled by his West Texas upbringing, Slim is poised to embark on a mission filled with purpose and determination.

In addition to his storytelling, Slim plans to share "Slimisms" and his love for West Texas Red Dirt music, giving shoutouts to local talents like Randall King and their shared dirt road heritage.

Stay tuned for "Yeehaw! Cowboy Talk" for a blend of tales, insights, and music from the heart of Texas, as told by Texas Slim himself.

Hey, I miss ya’ll….I’m back~

At least as far as doing that hippy-punk-cowboy kinda talkin….dang do I have some stories to share.

This new series that I am calling “Yeehaw - Hippy-punk-cowboy talk” is going to be random, it’s going to come from the heart, and it will have some sarcasm and a little West Texas Dirt Road Twang to it. 

I’ve been to a few places and I’ve done a few things throughout my  lifetime and now it’s time to give you some perspective of who this ole boy is, the vision I had in the beginning and the very clear vision I currently have. 

And we’re all going to move forward together….time to step up and focus in on the true art of story tellin.

I’ll tell ya one thing, it’s time to pull the trigger folks! 

A train wreck is coming but don’t go frettin…we built out a new rail system and the rail transition is ready to go. We’ve tested and have the results to prove it.

I’ll be tellin' ya’ll stories of my life, which started out by me looking up at the sky. 

I come from the “Llano Estacado,” the “Dessert High Plains” a place that is referred to as the “Caprock” and the land of the Comanches, “Comancheria”. 

THE Texas Panhandle! 

THE World Headquarters of the Beef Initiative and the I Am Texas Slim Foundation.

And boy howdy has it been one hell of a ride. 160k miles driven, 3 continents explored, 1.5 trips around the globe all on the quest for the most fascinating journey and exploration of global #BeefIntelligence the the world has ever had….and all that done in less than 3 years….you should hear about the prior 40 before that…

Oh, and btw it's just getting started so, let’s all pay attention and get a new “Yeehaw” swagger that is ready to scream across the world. 

We are about to start the next local and global modern-day cattle drive and every one of you is a hired hand and it’s time to pull yourselves up by your bootstraps and saddle up.

We have got some catastrophic winds coming our way and I am going to do my best to communicate what I see and how the next two years are going to play out from my perspective. 

Since I just hired ya’ll on, I'm going to tell you what your job is and what tasks you are going to have moving forward. If we do a good job I’ll be throwing a big ole International Cattleman’s Feast and it will be on me. 

I’ll just ask that you start living with integrity, and with a new focus. It takes a little practice at first but you’ll get the hang of it. Kinda like how ole Cole Bolton became a professional team roper. One miss at a time. He always saddles back up, he and his roping partner take a deep breath, and as a team, they go get the job done one calf at a time. Cole don’t talk much about his skills, but he has many at his disposal.

Folks, the Beef Initiative was started with a foundational spirit that is extremely rare and extremely sought after, it's the spirit of the great American Cowboy.

See, I am punchy as hell, I’m from West Texas…Ole Cole, he’s from East Texas, I think he talks funny.

Anyways, back to the cowboy spirit I was referring to. There are so many cowboys that behave and talk funny in so many ...
