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!

Kim Rounds knows hard work, in fact, there’s many times in life that she’s been knocked down and challenged to quit - but that’s something she hasn’t done! A former show jumper, Kim was hooked on the world of reined cow horse when she watched them film parts of Down the Fence at the Reno Snaffle Bit Futurity. Strategically leveraging hard work and learning fundamentals, she’s found herself with the perfect horse, Stevie, and this dynamic duo has placed TOP 5 in the NRCHA world for two years running. A cattle industry professional by trade with 5 Rivers Cattle Feeding, LLC, Kim is knowledgable and well spoken about all aspects of the cattle and equestrian worlds.
