Shipping Day on Babbitt Ranches is the culmination of a year's work. Cowboys on horseback drive cattle across the high country to Tin House Camp, a quiet outpost deep within the vast high desert landscape of Northern Arizona. Hundreds of heifers and steers are rounded up, weighed and shipped to their new owners -- often a thousand miles away. As the dust settles, the Babbitt Ranches Community feels that sense of satisfaction that comes from hard work and dedication to a goal that’s bigger than any one person: the steadfast commitment to help feed the nation and honor the legacy of the Western Frontier. Ranch Manager Clay Rodgers says Shipping Day is "like Super Bowl for the cowboy world."

Babbitt Ranches President and General Manager Billy Cordacso tells the story of how two of the original Arizona Babbitt brothers camped out on the San Francisco Peaks and awoke to a chilly spring morning as they were about to embark on an exciting future in cattle ranching. With only one match left to light a fire, Cordasco talks about the symbolism of lighting a match, igniting a passion and "letting it rip." He compared that moment of excitement, accountability and anticipation in 1886 with today's journey into renewable energy during an Oct. 10, 2023 meeting with the Western CO Bar Legacy Conservation Community.
