Ep. 104 - Round 2 with Kim Rounds

Kim Rounds first came on our show at the start of Season 3 and is back for a second round as a part of our collaboration with COWGIRL Magazine's 30 Under 30 Program. A specialty beef programs manager and all beef exports listed under her job title at 5 Rivers Cattle Feeders, Kim's also in charge of social media and other outreach such as facility tours. As of late, Kim's hard work has been recognized in a multitude of 30 Under 30 and 40 Under 40 awards, making her the unplanned face of the ranching (and female ranching) industry throughout Colorado and America.

Kim's background with the western lifestyle has stemmed from a lifelong love of cattle and horses. A show jumper turned reined cowhorse competitor, Kim's need for speed and adrenaline has created a newfound passion in the world of cowhorse where her and her great mare, Stevie, have won countless awards. As a part of that passion, however, Kim has continued to learn more and more about the cowhorse industry - even creating an Excel spreadsheet on cowhorse studs that would rival co-host Katie Schrock's National Finals Rodeo spreadsheets!

Join for the fun, horse marketing and cowhorse industry information, and all things cattle industry with your That Western Life podcast co-hosts, Katie Schrock and Rachel Owens-Sarno, for the kick off of Season 4!

Ep. 88 - Julia Ayres of Twisted X
Ep. 88 - Julia Ayres of Twisted X

Growing up in a military family, Julia Ayres moved every two years until she was seventeen years old. Despite all the new locations, there was something that she was passionate about from a young age - horses. Whether it was eight year old Julia demanding her dad follow a horse trailer to find where the horses were or asking to ride the trail ride horses, Julia was dedicated to learning all that she could. Her hard work paid off and she completed her degree in equine sciences at Colorado State University with an emphasis in event production. Today, she works for Twisted X in marketing and sponsorships, and continues to share her passion for horses and the western lifestyle as a COWGIRL Magazine 30 Under 30 recipient.
