The Blay Family, Goettemoeller Show Cattle - Brian, Dru, and Spencer, Kyle Lemmon, Josh Elder, Jones Show Cattle, Sam Burtsfield, Craig Meyer, Bruce, Amie, Dillon and Cade Stertzbach, Clint Thompson, Megan Hunt, Mattie Doerstler, Wyatt Debnam, and Will Coor. Fulton Kennedy you are one of the few if not only person I’ll ever call brother in life. Thank you for all of your help in recent years, for always putting up with all of my crazy ideas, and always making the crew fun no matter the day. Cody Vance thank you so much for driving endless miles and setting up nearly every single show. Without you I’d still be standing at the first show trying to figure out how to set up my stall. You do all the things at shows behind the scenes and we would be so lost without you. Tim & Emily Schaeffer, Ian McKenzie, Ross Helms, Quinton Ball and the entire crew at Schaeffer Show Cattle through the years. I’ll never really know why you guys took a chance on a girl and her mom who showed up at your sale in 2015 and went out in the lot and petted a Charolais heifer but I’ll be forever grateful that you did. That Char cow “Princess”
will forever be one of our favorites. One of my “lucky superstitious things” is I always have the backdrop picture from Princess at Charolais Jr. Nationals in the back of my show harness whenever I walk in a ring. For everything through the years we will never be able to thank you enough. Last but not least Dalton Kennedy, I’ll always be the lucky one that you chose to be friends with a girl from Northeast Ohio. It didn’t matter how many hundreds of miles away from each other we were the majority of the time, I knew you were always just a text away. Thank you for always believing in me from the moment we meant, the good life advice at midnight, the prayers before every single show, and always the best fashion advice. You always tell me that nothing in life last forever no matter what it is or how good it is - so you better just enjoy every moment. I know there’s one thing though I don’t want to ever live this life without so I just pray our friendship does last forever. I’m sure I have forgotten to list several folks that have helped through the years and made an impact on my life. Thank you to everyone that has taken the time to help us through the years, visit with us at shows, or just shared a smile and say hi as we passed by.
and begged for me to take 4-H sewing projects instead of animals for a very long time. Now I think you love the cows more than anyone deep down. Now a days you usually have to stay home keeping things going when we are away at shows. I know I don’t say it enough but Mom I couldn’t have done any of it without you. Dad, first off, I’m sorry you now probably know that I spent more than $2,000 on those show heifers even though I told you I never spent more than that on one. While I’m in the make-up ring before every show I always try to look up towards the ceiling because I just hope you have the best seat in Heaven to watch it all. I’ll miss you forever but I just hope a part of you will always live on in me. TO EVERYONE THAT SOLD US ONE THROUGH THE YEARS OR TOOK THE TIME TO HELP US AT SHOWS: Noah Skrinjar, Nic Holley, Si Pirogowicz, Zach Grauer, the entire weekend jackpot family, Scott Winkle,
