    Mendota Ranch is a working ranch in Canadian Texas. Established in 1907 and owned by the Abraham family since 1994, Mendota Ranch operates a commercial cow / calf operation, and raises working ranch horses and cutting horses. Jason is all so the inventor of Brush Bullet a new and easy way to control unwanted trees.
    Brush Bullet was designed to target all unwanted plant species. After application of one Brush Bullet per 3’ of tree, Brush Bullet only requires 3/4” of rain to dissolve. Once dissolved, Brush Bullet is absorbed from the roots of the targeted plant, stopping its reproduction. The targeted plant will begin to decay within 90 days.
    Targeted Plant Species
    Alder, Ash, Aspen, Balsam Poplar, Birch, Black Cherry, Catclaw, Deerbrush, Dogwood, Elm, Hickory, Juniper, Locust, Oaks, Persimmon, Privet, Sourwood, Sumac, Sweetbay, Sweetgum, Tallow, Wild Cherry, Wild Plum, Whitebrush, Whitethorn, Willow, Yellow Poplar.Single stem plants. Multi-stemmed plants such as Mesquite, Huisache, Multiflora Rose, and Red Berry Cedar (Juniper). Smutgrass. Woody plants such as black cherry, blackgum*, dogwood*, elm, hawthorn, hickory, oaks, red maple, sweetgum and sumac and more.
    Brush Bullet is a game changing herbicide. Industry costs for cedar tree removal can cost over $500 an acre. Using our Brush Pod Universal Applicator, Brush Bullet can be applied by air using a helicopter or other aerial platform such as drones. Using this method will save you hundreds of dollars per acre, leave zero footprint and stops the plant from reproducing once Brush Bullet has been absorbed. Read the label and apply only as directed.
    On average, a helicopter using the Brush Pod Universal Applicator, can accurately apply Brush Bullet faster that any other method.
    Helicopter Trial Average
    3 hours ~ 200 acres ~ 24lbs Brush Bullet = Estimated $25/acre

    Thank you so much for sacrificing your time and energy to include us in this chaotic part of your life. I had forgotten that the mendota ranch was up in that area of Texas somewhere. My other friend amanda, lives in the Fort Worth area so I wasn't worried about her. You got hit hard but you were also very lucky as well. I'm sorry to see all the cattle have to go. I'm from Kansas so I know after the spring burn off the grass comes back lush green and very quickly and tender. But I guess it won't do it quickly enough to save your cattle? I wish you and Bonnie the best. From Missouri on a little tiny homestead, we're thinking of you and wish we were there helping.

      And I'm still hee hawin over here over the herding cats comments lol. As someone who has far too many freaking farm cats laying on their butts right now I know exactly what you're talking about and watching you guys try to herd those calves definitely is reminiscent of what it would look like with a bunch of cats. I used to work on a dairy farm and I took care of the calf Barn so I know how crazy things can get, haha

    The view was weird, it's like Mother Nature hopped on her riding lawn mower and flattened everything. Hopefully it cleared out all the dead wood and the carbon returned to the soil will pay it back in the future, looks like it's already got plans. When the cows return, it'll be a veritable grassland de Paradiso for them!🐄🤠
    That ole Bluey is a born cow dog idn't she?! She was even herding the truck after they were loaded😆that driver better stay in line, she'll nip them tires!

    So if moving the cows and calves to greener grass land so that mean you are having to sale or is someone able to help with land that can support this head of cattle ? Just trying to grasp the amount of lost revenue that people up there lost as myself probably like alot of people did not realize how many years it takes to get to the point you are at with the cow to calf ration you have.
    I have so many things that I am trying to read up on to understand how this fire will affect the whole country potentially not just how horrifically it impacted you guys up there.
    As always completely enjoyed the video and glad to see that you guys are able to be able to keep showing these videos and showing this information for everyone like myself to enjoy.
    Thank you again and here hoping you get some good rains and speedy recovery on the grass coming back.
