Receive Text UpdatesRidge loves anything outdoors but loves his animals the most. He loves knowing what they all take to survive and give them the best quality of life.
Ridge’s favorite animal is a cow. Growing up around horses, livestock, and ranch life, he’s developed a love for the animals that are part of his everyday world. Cattle represent hard work, responsibility, and the lifestyle he’s being raised in, and that’s something he takes pride in.
His favorite activity outdoors is a toss up between roping and going out shooting guns.
