This is my SimAngus bull, Rico Suave, that I showed at SDSU this past spring. Together, we won Champion Fitting and Showmanship titles.

When Carrie Underwood, country singer and member of the extremist animal rights group HSUS, was invited to speak at the 2006 National FFA Convention, I knew I had to do something to stand up for America's food producers. Link here to read the article and watch the video.

This is a picture of my girl Wanda and I after a summer of showing together. We will show her daughter Tyra this year.

Courtney and I show against each other in the market steer class. That's one big butt!

Girls just want to have fun!!! My sisters and I pose by the trailor before heading off to another cattle show (with Dad in tow to help with the important work: driving the pickup and trailor, scooping the manure, mixing the feed, and giving us money to buy strawberry smoothies!) It's good to be a kid!

My sisters missed me while I was a USDA intern in Washington D.C. It meant 10 weeks with no big sister to help them out with the show calves, make them lunch and take them to the pool! It also meant, no big, bossy sister for awhile too! :)

Regina George and I showed all over the country in 2006. She had her first calf this summer named Trinity. Regina may look sweet, but she gets a little stubborn and sassy from time to time. My parents say she's a lot like her owner (Me)! HA!
