Today is my older sister Sam's 20th birthday. She is no longer a teenager, and it seems every year her life is making her become more and more of an adult. She was part of the Canadian Cattlemen's Association's Cattlemen's Young Leaders program as well as the Five Nations Beef Alliance Young Rancher's program this past year, and since than has spoken a great deal about getting our story out to our consumers and how important it is as farmers to get involved in the industry and to speak out! Another thing that she always mentions is the rising age and the declining population of farmers, not only in our area, but all over the world.
With a declining amount of farmers and a rising age, soon we will have none left. Imagine a world without farmers. There would be little to know food, not only meat products, but also vegetables and grain products.
This really woke me up to that issue, one which I had never really pondered.
The Summer Synergy Livestock Show makes me feel like there is hope for our industry, after all, we are the future of the industry! The Summer Synergy show is a show which was started to "synergize" (join) many of the already established livestock shows, as well, to join different types of show animals so that we could all learn about one another and get to meet new people.
What a fabulous idea! Have young ranchers from all different backgrounds such as: sheep, beef cattle, dairy cattle and heavy horse, join together to compete. This helps the youth to all meet new people, and potentially new business partners! It also helps to inform and involve youth about different breeds of animals, as well as different types of animals! If the young ranchers can figure out how to work together and work in harmony with one another, what a great industry we will have in a few years! As a young rancher, I know I am the future, and I love that idea!
Want to hear from some more young ranchers?? Check out this video filmed at the National Western Stockshow, my sister speaks in it! These young adults are the near future!
Hope you liked the video! I sure did! Now I must get back to my sister's birthday! Thanks for reading!

I feel so blessed and fulfilled. I've been reluctant in applying for a loan i heard about online because everything seems too good to be true, but i was convinced & shocked when my friend at my place of work got a loan from Progresive Loan INC. & we both confirmed it and i also went ahead to apply, today am a proud owner of my company and making money for my family and a happy mom. Well i'm Annie Joe by name from Pauls Valley, Oklahoma. As a single mom with three kids it was hard to get a job that could take care of me and my kids and I had so much bills to pay and to make it worst I had bad credit so i couldn't obtain a loan from any bank. I had an ideal to start a business as an hair stylist but had no capital to start, Tried all type of banks but didn't work out until I was referred by my co-worker to a godsent lender advertising to give a loan at 2% interest rate. I sent them a mail using their official email address (progresiveloan@yahoo.com) and I got a reply immediately and my loan was approved, and I was directed to the Bank site where I withdrawed my loan directly to my account. To cut the story short am proud of my hair stylist company and promise to testify to the world how my life was transformed.. If you are in need of any kind of loan, i advise you contact Progresive Loan INC and be financially lifted Email: progresiveloan@yahoo.com OR Call/Text +1(603) 786-7565
