This title deserves a little
defining. Other words (nouns)
that provide some meaning are:
total, entity, entirety, totality,
everything and ensemble.
When speaking of managing
a ranch, we should think of
managing the “whole” or every
aspect of it and recognize that,
when we change any part,
that part is integrally linked
to and affects the whole. Not
only that, but each part affects
and is affected by the others.
Most of our formal education
conditions us to be linear
thinkers—change this and
you can expect that result.
More recently we have been
introduced to “systems thinking”
which helps us begin to
understand that there is not
simply a single result from
each action or change in our
management. And, in addition
to those initial results or effects,
there are “compounding
and cascading” (terminology
borrowed from Dr. Allen
Williams) effects that continue
on after the first effects.

COLE Explorer 22E topped Coleman’s sale in 2018. This powerhouse herd sire offers growth and
maternal efficiency in a thick-ended, homozygous polled, purebred package. Given his trait-
leading numbers, real-world performance and royal lineage, COLE Explorer has all the tools to
blaze a new trail in black, polled, purebred Limousin genetics. His first calves hit the ground this
spring and there were worth the wait—growthy, thick and stylish.
Give one of these breeders a call on Explorer progeny.
