SANTA GERTRUDIS

By Casey Kelly, District 1 Director

M y name is Casey Kelly and I am from Spring, Texas. I am currently attend- ing college at Houston Community College where I will get my associate degree and then transfer to Sam Houston State University. I am also serving as a District 1 National Junior Santa Gertru- dis Association director. I did not grow up

around cattle; I got my start with cattle by participating and catching a calf in the Ft. Worth and Houston calf scrambles. Mr. Utley has been my mentor since my first calf scramble heifer and brought me into the Gert family. After participat- ing in two junior national shows, I was inspired by Harrison Kimble and Taylor Terry to run for a director position and hope I can do half as well as they did. Since joining the Gert family, I have had dozens of people I barely know help me become a better person and a better cattleman with their time and their resources. As a director, I try to give back a little of what they have given me, and be a mentor and inspiration to other children and show them the ins and outs of our Gert family. Now that I am in college and do not get to show as I used to, I really miss it and wish I could go back in time. I know that sounds crazy coming from me, wanting to go back to high school. I cannot wait to see my show family and look forward to seeing you all at the next show.
