Wow, where to begin, I will try to keep this short and sweet!

There has been a few very influential people in my life that really set me on the path I am on today, although ALL OF THEM would say "How in the World did CHICKENS come into play?" *shrug ;) But besides my parents who nurtured me towards the dreams I wanted to pursue, there are two people who stand out. My Papa Ralph Harper and my partner Scott Belden. Both of these men believed in a young woman who wanted to be in the rough and tumble agricultural life. They didn't say "Ooo you're a girl, you can't do that." They both developed my passions for horses and cattle on my Papa's ranch. My love for dogs. And taught or gave me the confidence and opportunities to learn the not so girly things like; driving the tractors, fixing fence, cutting firewood, baling hay, and even welding. These two men really framed my life and even though one has passed, Scott is still right here by my side rooting for me. I know when I catch a drift of Levi Garett on the wind, it is my Papa, watching and rooting for me still. Here is a secret, I put him in charge of all of my animals, in my piece of Heaven, that have gone before me to watch over and caretake until I get to be there too.
