Bert Richter

Ask the general manager of any Major League Baseball club and he will quickly tell you that no club ever wins the World Series without having one or two highly talented players who can play multiple roles.

Utility players are the key to success for winning championships. They are multi-talented and unselfish. They can usually be a star player at several positions, but they are so team-oriented and championship-driven that they don’t need the acclaim of being a one-position player. These gifted players also make up that small and incredibly unique talent pool of future field managers.

Bert Richter is one of those unique men because he can star in many roles. Every day, he steps in the gap to help others using his many talents, yet it’s his humility that sets him apart.

Bert is a Cameron, Texas native and a 1995 graduate of Sul Ross State University in Alpine, Texas, with a degree in Agricultural Business Administration. He has worked cattle in West Texas, but his home is in Milam County, working with 44 Farms.

An expert horseman, roper, farrier and cowman, Bert can work cattle with the best. He can also take fencing tools and wire, and in just a few minutes, make those five new strands shine proudly in the sun. Straight and tight, with every post in line, it’s a job any cowboy would be proud of.

Bert is a cowboy, a gentleman, and the type of man who is the backbone of this country. He loves the land and raising stock, and he learned responsibility early, probably before he was even able to walk. He is a star at 44 Farms. Thank you Bert!
