Bethany Zill is a familiar face at White Stallion Ranch and her love of ranching is obvious in this edition of the Cowboy Up podcast. Bethany grew up on a ranch in North Dakota and is part of a 5th generation ranch family.

Alan Day was raised at the Lazy B Ranch in Arizona with his sister Sandra who went on the become the first female Supreme Court Justice of the United States Sandra Day O’Connor. Bethany created a film about the Lazy B with the help of first-hand stories from Alan Day.

Bethany’s film has been nominated for 2 awards in the upcoming Tombstone Film Festival because she was able to coax stories out of Alan about growing up on the ranch, cloud seeding and conversations with God.

This one was a lot of fun. Stay until the end for some new music from Bethany on this edition of the Cowboy Up podcast.
