Endorsees photoPriefert Ranch Equipment is extremely proud to welcome Baxter Black to its family of Endorsees. Priefert will be partnering with Baxter to help bring his unique perspective and cowboy brand of humor to agriculturally related groups across the country, particularly those involved in the cattle industry. Described by the New York Times as "…probably the nation's most successful living poet," everything about Baxter is cowboy; his cartoonish mustache, his personality and his poetry. A much respected character in our industry, Priefert felt Baxter was a natural fit.

When asked for his thoughts about partnering with Priefert, Baxter replied, "You're known by the company you keep. I found a friend in Priefert. It's a 3rd generation business that holds the values I think are what makes America great; God, country, family, hard work and caring about their neighbor. It's gonna be a pleasure to be part of what they stand for."

Priefert is equally excited about the opportunity work with Baxter. Jeff Rash, VP of Sales & Marketing had this to say, "Baxter Black is well known to those who enjoy the western lifestyle and is a rare American treasure. I've watched and read Baxter's material since I was a boy, and like many young aspiring cowboys from my generation, Baxter's wit, charm and values helped mold me into the man I've become. I've ridden with him in the bad lands of Arizona, I've worked cattle in the hot sun beside him and I've gotten to know him as a friend, as well as a mentor. They don't make them like Baxter anymore, and it's a true honor for our company to be associated with a cowboy of his caliber."
