    I’m watching the finale this week solely because I’m bought in on the sink cost fallacy. What a horrible dive this show has taken

    Only highlight for me was the horse show, Ryan Bingham singing, and Metallic Cat making an appearance

    Sheridan drives me crazy. He's turned the show into an excuse for him to show off thinking he looks like a pro (spoiler he doesn't). That's not how people talk or act at a horse show and he comes off as a huge doucher. He's ruined a really cool idea.

    i don't get the premise of these horse shows for quarter horses used to work cattle. i don't claim to know much about working cattle on big ranches, but i do know that quarter horses don't require a live cover to be registered (aka you can artificially inseminate them vs. a thoroughbred that has to actually fuck) and aren't a lot of big ranches trending towards renting helicopters to round up cattle anyway?

    so how valuable can these quarter horses really be?

    You're right about the breeding which has been about the only authentic thing on the show this year. We used to have a stud we could breed 30 mares from each shot. But that's why there's an extra zero or two on the price tag of a thoroughbred compared to even the top end of Quarter Horses.

    As for their value, it's the same as race horses. They can win money but by the time you figure the training and feed etc., the only ones that make money are the famous studs that you sell breeding fees to. It's 99% driven by super wealthy people wanting to show off to their friends and has little to do with actual working ranches. No one is going to saddle up Metallic Cat to moves cattle. He's in a heated/cooled stud barn with fresh shavings every day and let out to exercise.

    right so i understood most of that.

    so why did yellowstone try to save the ranch by hiring these dudes to go to horse shows?

    The line about “that’s not real cowboying” I could see coming a mile away.

    also, he’s a fairly good rider, but certainly not a pro. On his run he got pitched forward bad a couple times and the horse couldn’t get turned

    also i get that sheridan probably doesn't look like a real life pro but i'm guessing all of the cowboys on the show don't resemble actual cowboys. i grew up in corpus christi and know some people who know a lot about the king ranch and i don't know if any of their cowboys even speak english

    to be fair to sheridan i don't think he would ever say he is a pro

    he also just sunk a shit ton of money into the actual 6666 ranch and that looks to be an enormous money pit in real life

    Nah he almost assuredly doesn’t. It’s just the image of the show where he plays a pro trainer when it’s obvious he’s not. Especially when they’ve had some of the best trainers in the game on there anyway. I get it’s his show and he’s certainly free to be in that role but it just irks me after being in that business growing up

    “The best way to have a small fortune in the horse business is to start with a large one”

    best way to make money is owning a breeding barn or be a well established trainer. Getting paid a service type fee without capital outlay for the asset. Owning horses is a money pit.

    i've gone from owning 12-15 who actually are racing at one time to 2.5

    i do have 3 broodmares and the two who have had foals have dropped some nice ones.

    we will see if this works out or if i get out of that too

    Thoroughbreds are tough since you can’t AI so that dramatically reduces volume and cuts into breeding fee revenue

    Cap already answered but hiring those trainers and buying those horses would've cost several million bucks and the "checks" they're winning at the shows would be thousands of dollars at best. There have been lots more ranches pissed away doing things like that than "saved." It's just a stupid storyline but Sheridan had to figure out how to shoehorn it in so he could show off his yeehaw skills on camera.

    Other than the fact that the show's writing has literally become an infomercial for the 6666, one of the most puzzling lack of a storyline for me has been the inevitable showdown between Rainwater and John. They set that up for so long that it would happen, but then all of these shared interests got involved, and on top of it, Rainwater, who I understood to be a barely practicing Native American (he presented himself as an opportunist rather in season one) is now the quintessential spirit guide. So fucking weird.

    Yes, and Kayce killed his wife's brother, but I am saying nothing has happened since. There was so much talk about we are still enemies, yada, yada, but we will do this together for now, and all I have seen since then is finding more reasons to be allies.

    Of all the silly and ridiculous shit in this show, for some reason Beth blaming Jamie for her abortion/sterility might annoy me the most.

    She asked him to take her

    It was solid, and especially for this season, but they need a complete reset. I have no fucking idea what the Kayce story was. Jamie on his hands and knees is just so ridiculous. He is able to shoot his dad, but he can’t face his sister. It is ridiculous.
