He Can Barely Walk, But He's A (Future) Budweiser Clydesdale

We met a days-old Clydesdale named Mac who Warm Springs Ranch supervisor John Soto called a "perfect prospect" for the Budweiser Clydesdale team.

Budweiser Clydesdales are one of the most recognizable parts of the Anheuser-Busch brand. After hearing about a new birth at the Warm Springs Ranch in Boonville, Missouri, — "breeding farm for the Budweiser Clydesdales" — we decided to go greet the newest member of the Budweiser family.

John Soto, ranch supervisor, introduced us to days-old Mac and first-time mom, Jules. Mac was the first of an expected 32 births for Warm Springs in 2016. Interestingly enough, we were the first nonranch staffers to meet Mac. Although he could barely walk, Soto told us Mac's a "perfect prospect" for the Budweiser Clydesdale team.
