Born and raised on a beef farm near Carstairs, Alta., farm life has been in my blood from the beginning. Marrying a Saskatchewan farm boy, found me moving to the Land of the Living Skies, just across the Alberta-Saskatchewan border near Lloydminster. Alongside my husband Todd and our daughter Shelby, we own and operate Sky Track Ranch.
The fourth-generation ranch consists of a commercial cow-calf operation. We use Simmental and Black Angus bulls on our Black Baldie and Hereford momma cows. In addition, we also have a small handful of purebred Simmental cows. We enjoy raising a few club calves and have celebrated some monumental wins in the show ring with our steers.
I have spent the majority of my life working in the agriculture industry including working at semen and embryo facilities, the registry for the Canadian Hereford Association, research projects for the Canadian Cattle Association, grading beef, broadcasting online cattle sales for a media company, volunteering at the Lloydminster Exhibition and raising cattle of our own.

Any spare time is spent being a mental health advocate, which has included public and online speaking engagements, gardening, cooking and sewing. I look forward to getting to know the membership and working with the CLA staff and board.
