As a new NCBA employee I will be serving as the manager of web content, so check out www.beefusa.org to see what I will be working on at my place of employment. I am honored to give a voice for the American cattle producer and help the world understand how beef cattle producers are working every day to feed families.
As I prepare for my big move to Colorado, I have taken time to remember all the friends I have found in Stephenville, Texas. The last three days have consisted of a lot of eating, catching up with old friends and connecting with new friends. Yesterday, January 29, 2012, I was lucky enough to celebrate my new job and my move at the Fort Worth Stockshow and Rodeo. I spent the day with my favorite people, my family of course, and watched the Southwest Major Pace Shorthorn Show. Once the Champion female (heifer or cow) was selected my family made our way to the historic Fort Worth Stockyards for me to say good-bye in style. The town of Fort Worth and specifically the stockyards is a favorite of mine. I will truly miss the Fort Worth weekends, summers and stock show time. However, I am excited to meet a new city that is just as famous in the beef cattle industry, Denver, Colo. As part of my farewell to Fort Worth and family I enjoyed a thick, juicy filet mignon at the H3 Steakhouse. There is no better way to celebrate my job at NCBA than with a piece of beef, I just hope Fort Worth will not be jealous of me moving to Denver to eat more beef.
I am excited for my new adventure and I want to take you along with me. I will post pictures, thoughts, comments and struggles I encounter in my rocky mountain and beef adventures. Happy Monday and eat some beef.
