Swallows Nest Ranch

Last week I had the awesome opportunity to attend McPeak's Be A Champ Show Cattle & Lamb Camp. It was rainy and muddy and a ton of work, but I had a great time, learned a lot, improved my showmanship skills (placed in the Top 9 for my group), and remembered what it is like to truly have a show team and partners to achieve goals. I wish I had the chance to go sooner but I can’t wait to go back next summer! Thanks to Coach McPeak, Ms. Veda, Clint and Kyle, and all of the staff for working so hard and pushing us to never quit. We had kids from 16 different states at camp, 6 in my group alone. So awesome!

I got my newest piece of equipment this weekend! While I have another squeeze chute, this one is extra special- it’s branded with the American Hereford Association logo!! I am a proud Hereford breeder and showman and am so thankful to the American Hereford Association, National Junior Hereford Association, Hereford Youth Foundation of America, and Priefert for their generosity and for supporting kids like me who want to raise the best cattle breed in the world!
