Tell us about yourself.

"I am a city girl who was born and raised in Fort Myers, Florida but fell in love living out in the country. I am a wife and mom to three girls and one boy: Bailey (16), Aspen (6), Paris (7 months), and Dace (14). They keep me busy and on my toes. We have several dogs and cats at the homestead and one unique pet (to me at least being from the city) which is my pot-bellied piggie named Martini Chanel. Yes, she has a bougie name because she is just a character and very bougie and spoiled. Martini is very special to me. We got her when she was just a couple days old. She is a year and half old now. My husband, Adam, and I, along with Adam’s parents, Eddie and Ann, own Wall Street Cattle Company in Lebanon, Missouri. We run about 450 momma cows and have several different breeds of cattle: Angus, Red Angus, Charolais, Brangus, and Akaushi. Some really exciting news is that we just recently started building an AQHA breeding program."

Tell us about The Exchange at Wall Street Cattle Company.

"The Exchange is a 30-acre complex comprised of five areas. The first being a beautiful post and beam building with a main hall which has soaring 38-foot cedar ceilings. To complement the main hall, we have a smaller dining area and a private conference room. The Exchange also features a large amphitheater where we host outdoor concerts. We even had a collectors car auction out there. There is also a large sale facility with horse stalls behind it. Our latest addition to The Exchange is a 200 by 300-foot open air arena. And finally, the last feature is one that is near and dear to our hearts and keeps us from getting homesick - our beach. During the COVID pandemic, we built our very own sandy beach on our lake behind the main building. We just wanted to have a little something that reminded us of home."
