A young Colorado couple has deliberately chosen what may be the most difficult way of all to make a living – and they love it. James Snyder and Carrie Daves are managing 800 head of beef cattle on 600 acres near the La Plata Mountains. Winter days can be frigid and bleak and any notion of a vacation – or even a day off – is out of the question. James’ brothers and sisters want no part of the ranching life. James and Carrie show how they and their children manage – and explain why they would never do anything else.
