The NHSRA mission is all about preserving the western heritage and family bonding. Ranching and farming embodies this more than anything. My grandma is one of my biggest icons; sheās a mentor, role model, leader, and humors us with her own Baxter Black comedy. Today, my 96 year old grandma had the honor of receiving the Green River Valley Cattlewomen Lifetime Member Award. Throughout her years, she and my late grandpa have been inducted into the Wyoming Cowboy Hall of Fame, been lifetime members of the Green River Valley Cattlemen, received the Ranch Couple of the Year Award, she has been inducted into the Wyoming Ag Hall of Fame, and honored as the Heart of Agriculture recipient. At the luncheon today, one of my sponsors, Trevor Erickson with Rancherās Insurance, was a speaker, and Iām so grateful for his support, and that of my family who was there with us today.
