longer-lasting metal implements built by the skilled war- welding cowboys. Soon gates were fashioned of metal rod and pipe. Even metal war-surplus landing mats, which had been used in the islands as makeshift runways for war planes, became ranch gates and working-pen fences. Soon, metal cattle guards, metal cattle chutes, head
gates, and even metal cattle pens were built and installed. Then came the iconic metal cattle trailer, with more
changes on the way. One day the neighbor had a fancy, new, decorative gate installed on the county road with the addition of a brand logo to the gate. Soon, names were written in metal script explaining who the ranch belonged to, the type of cattle raised therein, and on, and on. Today, the sky’s the limit! Life-like fi gures have been
added to gated ranch entrances in recent years, depicting cowboys roping, horses bucking, cattle drives, silhouettes of big deer — you name it, you got it. They just keep on ‘a-comin’. As Butch Cassidy said, “Who are those guys?” A ranch owner must have good ranch hands. They are
the men who make the ranch go ‘round. Ranch owners can’t operate with a transient workforce. Good, strong, stable family men, who love their work more than their pay, are those men who build and decorate our ranches.
Pearson Livestock Equipment introduces
The Browns of Bee County in South Texas are most
fortunate to employ one such man. Pablo Garcia, our ranch welder and mechanic, is the
best in the business. He builds our “stuff.” He builds anything we ask him to build and when done, it is per- fect for the use and nice to look at as a bonus. Garcia was raised in our area and was trained as a
mechanic and welder by his father. He is a pipeline class welder. He can do it all. He has built all of our feedlot cattle handling facilities and pens over the 20 years he has worked for us. Thanks to him, instead of having to stop and open
gates, we sail quickly over numerous pipe cattle guards built and installed by him. The ranch welding shop is his domain and where
many of our tools and implements are constructed as well as repaired. We also take in outside welding from other ranchers as time permits. Many of these jobs in- volve decorative ranch entrances. It is an honest statement that we would not be able
to ranch as effectively in this fast-paced society we live in without Pablo Garcia’s faithful work ethic and the necessities and conveniences he provides for us through his welding skills.
All the power and convenience of hydraulics with no electric power. Bolt on the squeeze and head control kit to your current Pearson chute.
