Our love story began like all classic country tales… on Tinder. (Hey, don’t judge—cupid uses apps now.) What started as a swipe turned into something pretty special when we realized we had more in common than just good looks and a decent sense of humor. We were both born and raised in the heart of ag country, grew up loving cattle, and lived for any excuse to step into the showring—preferably while listening to old country music and arguing over who’s the bigger George Strait fan. But here’s where it gets wild: long before that fateful Tinder swipe, we had already crossed paths more times than we can count. We rode the same bus to National FFA Convention from Nebraska—completely unaware of each other. We even showed against each other’s families at the State Fair sheep show. We probably passed each other a hundred times in the barns, the showring, or in line for funnel cake, and never once realized what was coming. Fast forward to today: we're not just livestock lovers—we’re life partners, ring partners, and each other’s favorite plus-one for every night out and jackpot show on the calendar. Swipe right on forever? We’d say that’s a purple ribbon kind of love.
