i this is Sandra Lacy the 2021 CowBelle President. Here are a few things I would like to share with you about my background . I was born into a ranching family, established in the 1930s outside of Capitan and 1950s in Bingham, NM. Being around livestock my whole life I was naturally involved in 4-H, FFA, showing horses and rodeo events. Later working at sale barns and feedlots in NM and TX, in addition to managing a large dairy in ID and riding cutters in AZ. Just like that old Johnny Cash song, “I Been Everywhere.” Today I have an office job in Capitan, a business named Cowboy Antics in addition to breeding miniature Australian shepherds. As we close the gate of 2020 behind us and ride into 2021, I would to ask for your assistance in addressing specific issues and concerns that effect each of us today. We have an opportunity to help each other with the vast knowledge of all who read the NM Stockman. If you would be so kind to submit questions, ideas, topics or concerns to my email (Cowbellringing@yahoo.com), we can address these issues using common sense solutions in each monthly issue. The new CowBelle Officers of 2021 would like to offer our assistance in any way to help the NM Stockman and all members of CowBelles to help each other succeed as we face these uncertain times together. I am looking forward to your feedback to make all this possible. I would like the opportunity to thank you in advance for your participation. I believe the Words Written In Red will guide us. Lets tighten our cinches. – Sandra Lacy
