beyond the backdrop
My name is Rhylee Rodgers. I live in Searsboro, IA. I am 12 years old. I have shown for 7 years and I have shown at the National Western for 2 years. My steer’s name is Yellers. I am very blessed that God gave me the opportunity to show him at the National Western. I also want to thank my dad because he’s the one that is the biggest help and I can’t thank him enough for what he has done for me. I want to thank my mom because she is there day in and day out when I need her. I want to thank my sister who was always out in the barn helping. I want to thank my little brother for being my happiness. The last one I want to thank are the people that help us at all the shows - Dustin, Dalton,
Wooster, Ryan Mesch and Eric Rea. I can’t thank you enough for what you guys do for me, but I most of all I want to thank God for everything. My steer was my best friend and I am so thankful I got to show him. When I was a little girl my biggest dream was winning the National Western, but now I am so blessed I got this huge opportunity to do so. It will be a memory I will never forget. After being selected Grand Champion I received the traveling trophy. This is such an honor because my family knew Nick very well. He was one of my Dad’s best friends. I am so blessed I got this opportunity and thank you for everyone’s help to get me there. •
