Welcome!

Well lets get this started! First welcome to my blog and thank you for coming to visit. I will start off by telling you a little about myself. I was born and raised east of Claresholm, AB on a Hereford Ranch with my parents and two siblings (Ruth and Daniel). Our ranch name is Lilybrook Herefords, we raise around 450 Purebred Hereford Cows. Plus the numerous amounts of bull, heifers, and around 50 Commercial Calves, all Hereford!! I am currently in Grade 12, in two months I will be graduating and then wandering to the big city of Calgary. There I will attend Mount Royal University for my Bachelor of Nursing.

I am actively involved in my school and community through 4-H, Grad Society, Student Council, and in 2010 I had the honor of being crowned the 2010 Prom Queen at my school. I am also a very active member of the Alberta Junior Hereford Association and the Canadian Junior Hereford Association. I am very proud of my breed, we have advanced a great amount. Being able to promote Herefords, and being such a big part of the junior program is a great experience and honor.

For my blog I am hoping to talk about my crazy life and how much agriculture is a part of my day to day life, but also about how much it has taught me. Feel free to leave comments, give suggestions on blog posts or just say hello!

Have a great day!

Michelle
