Me & My Family

 

  • I grew up on a farm near Huron, SD, the middle child of 3 girls.  I enjoyed spending time on the farm and running Cross Country and Track at Huron High School and playing piano.  I graduated from SDSU in 2001 with a Bachelor of Science degree in History Education, and a double minor in Music and Biology.  I have been at Chester Area School since 2007 and previously taught in the Howard School District.  I enjoy cooking/eating (more eating), gardening/canning during the summer, running, and spending time with my 4 boys (3 little ones and 1 adult!!).
  • Ryan and I married in 2001 and we live on a farm between Winfred and Howard.  He stays busy dealing with our 200 head of cattle as well as preparing bulls, heifers, and calves for the show circuit.  We also plant corn and beans, but he would rather be AI'ing and calving.  He is also part of Callies Angus and works hard getting bulls ready for sale and all aspects of that industry.
  • Lane is 13 years old and spends much of his time pestering the middle son.  He enjoys playing football in the fall, wrestling during the winter, track in the spring and baseball in the summer.  He is also active in 4H and showing cattle.
  • Tate is 10 and is the busy body of the family.  He constantly is talking about something and asking why and what.  He enjoys being outside playing with tractors and trucks.  He enjoys playing baseball, wrestling, and football.  He is also involved in showing cattle.  He loves being on the farm.
  • Gabe is now 7 and is active in baseball and wrestling.  He is a true farmer and spends every moment possible out on the farm.
