OUR FAMILY Michelle & Jesse Wacey (13), Wren (5), Andi (9), Mick (7) and Reese (10)
Hi Everyone! Michelle here. If you know Jesse, you know the man can talk your ear off on the phone or in the pasture but as soon as you force him to put thoughts on paper the nervous sweat starts and the silent air crickets start chirping a blissful tone. So, here I am decoding his thoughts as he paces through the office with a Mello Yello in hand. His thoughts have one resounding theme this year; “What a WILD time to have cows”! Each day revolves around questions like, “Should I be buying? Should I be selling? Should we keep going? or How big should we dream?”. While these questions and answers are ever changing, the one thing we know right now is that our core motivation remains the same; making the next generation even better than the last. This family and these animals are our “Why”. They are what get us out of bed on the bitter cold nights in the trenches of winter and keep us out late into the evening on a hot summer day. We are striving to raise the best kids and cattle we can with a strong “common sense” approach where being well rounded matters. Production, Phenotype, Numbers ....it matters. Passion, Experience, Perseverance and Faith... it matters. To us, it all matters. The worst part about it? It makes our job incredibly difficult. To live honestly, while caring so deeply for what we do, and the future it holds for us and our clients is an intense weight bearing pressure but THAT is what you will find on the pages inside this book; a deep passion for progressive cattle that work for you on paper and still excite you in person. So there you go folks, decoded thoughts at the final hour of catalog edits but as with everything else here we want you to understand our true and honest thoughts without all the sugar coating. The cattle pictured in this book will speak a thousand words but a tour of the herd will speak volumes. Sincerely,
Ps: “Enjoy the ride” - Jesse
