Another outstanding, memorable
experience for Sam, was the time
she spent in Texas with a delightful
family, whose father she met at
a trade convention in Arizona.
Sam had mentioned her interest
in Texas and was welcomed along.
“I began to question my sanity
while waiting for that plane,”
Sam laughs. She had only briefly
met the man after all. Nevertheless,
Sam arrived in Texas and was taken
in like one of the family. While on
their property she worked cows
on horseback, inspecting corn and
cotton crops and become a part
of day to day ranch operations.
Sam loved it so much, she later
returned after completing
her study.
Taking full advantage of the
chance to travel, after classes at
KSU finished Sam visited Florida,
Houston, Alabama, Nashville, DC,
New York and San Francisco before
making her way back to Australia.
“I was so, so lucky.”
Sam admits that returning home
was a bit of a shock, though with
knowledge and experience of beef
production, she is excited for new
things to come.
After all, how many of us can say,
“I love my job, I love what I do.”
