We roll tape from Daylon Swearingen’s ranch bunkhouse—formerly a dairy milking parlor turned cowboy crash pad. Daylon opens up about taking three months off to heal from a concussion, the training protocol he’s following, and why strong necks, helmets, and mouth guards matter.

He also shares how the Carolina Cowboys’ mix of veterans and hungry young riders fuels him, why he still loves welding and working cattle sun-up to sun-down, and the story behind Cross 33 Cattle (plus a sneak preview of his Swearingen 8 Second Jerky).
