Personal Interests

My family has a dynamic "hobby," showing Angus and Simmental cattle as we traverse the country. Our central family farm is nestled in Buffalo, MO, while my husband, son, and I call Holden, MO, our home. Immersed in the agricultural lifestyle from a young age, I've cultivated a profound appreciation for the fruits of hard work. We've learned that success on the farm is a harmonious blend of efficiency and effective communication—both indispensable elements. Beyond our commitment to farming as our livelihood, it's our shared passion for family that truly fuels our endeavors.
