Ranch America

Life on the ranch isn’t what you’d expect

It’s pronounced shaps, not chaps. River Klass is in his element at a gather in the bad lands of North Dakota. He may be underdressed for the occasion because some of the cowboys are wearing their Sunday best! 

Discover modern ranch life and celebrate the culture of American beef producers through the enthusiastic storytelling of Klass, a rancher, chef, and cowboy. 4MP and Sporting Chef Productions developed Ranch America to spotlight the men, women, and children integral to raising beef in this country and celebrating their way of life. 

Viewers can expect breathtaking landscapes, insights into animal husbandry, ranch management, and personal stories connecting the ranching community. The show emphasizes the importance of sustainable practices, the bond between humans and animals, and the beauty of rural life.
