‘Ranch Life’ Highlighted in Outdoor Channel’s New Original Series ‘Ranch America’ on Mondays at 9:30 p.m. ET

DENVER (April 17, 2023) – There’s a difference between cowboys and ranchers, which is discovered during the new, original series Ranch America airing Mondays at 9:30 p.m. ET on Outdoor Channel. The show features Calaveras County rancher, chef and cowboy River Klass, who provides a fresh and contemporary perspective on the American West.

Watch a preview of the series here.

Klass and Ranch America help celebrate American horse and cattle ranches, the cowboy and cowgirl lifestyle and rodeo communities, as well as the remarkable and scenic canvas that serves as America’s landscape. The host owns and operates two popular restaurants in Murphys, California – Grounds and Firewood. He also raises cattle and is a partner with Calaveras Cowgirl Beef.

During the series, Klass shows how he manages his cattle in Northern California, but they also travel to other ranching communities including Wyoming where they go behind the scenes at Cheyenne Frontier Days. “In Wyoming, you have so much country to cover and the ground is so rough that ATVs weren’t cutting it. It is horse country. And to doctor the cattle, or check fences, you get on your horse and ride for 30 minutes before you see anything. And not just ride, but trot. During this whole time, I’m looking at ground that you couldn’t grow a single piece of vegetation that humans could digest. But yet, the cattle are out there, digesting this food, and creating a beautiful protein for us to eat,” Klass said.

Part of the experience of the series is also to showcase why he and his family are raising cattle in Northern California. “When I see someone at the market looking at a chuck roast or ribeye, they are simply thinking about which cut they want to eat. Except they don’t think about where that protein came from. Asparagus doesn’t move,” Klass joked. “The farmer knows when and where it is going to come up and when to harvest it. The rancher has so many more moving parts to deal with – and most of these ranchers work a day job. So, all this work is done at nights or on the weekends and with the help of fellow friends.”
