From MLB Pitcher to Texas Longhorn Breeder: Ross Ohlendorf’s Ranching Playbook
In this episode, we sit down with Ross Ohlendorf of Rocking O Longhorns in Lockhart, TX—a Princeton grad and retired MLB pitcher who’s traded strike zones for pasture lines and found a new arena for strategy, discipline, and results.
Ross opens up about the habits that carry over from the mound to the ranch: building a system, tracking what works, and staying patient through the long game of breeding. We talk about reading cattle with the same attention to detail he once used to read hitters, why calm, useful cattle matter on a working place, and how the Lockhart climate shapes day-to-day decisions. He also talks about focusing on fundamentals, tuning out the noise, and stacking small wins that compound over time—all rooted in a genuine dedication to the Texas Longhorn breed.
