From raising horses and cattle, milking along her old pickup, to the bonds of family and her new job of coaching basketball, Annie shares her journey and the values that shape her life. With deep roots in ranching and a passion for stories, she brings heart, grit, and wisdom to our conversation. Join us for an inspiring look at the balance between tradition, hard work, and the love of the land. Connect with Annie on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oregon_annie/?hl=en
