I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the three businesses who have continued to support me and the community at the Junior Livestock Auction.
This year I had the honor of my Reserve grand champion 4-H lamb being purchased by Hat Creek Construction, Kirack Construction, and Susanville Supermarket IGA. These three businesses have supported me through my entire life while living in Lassen County and I could not be more grateful.
Each company has had different impacts on me throughout my life, such as sponsoring me and supporting me in my run for Miss Lassen County, to supporting our Junior Livestock Auction and local sports programs, to donating supplies for many charitable events I have been a part of. The overwhelming support I have had from all of these people have made the things I do and the events I am part of worth every second.
In the fall I will be attending California State University, Chico to pursue a career in agricultural education. If it had not been for the continued support I have gotten from our community while growing up showing animals, then I do not believe that I would have decided to pursue a career in agriculture.
The opportunities I have been given and the sacrifices others have made for me is what had pushed me to want to do the same and pursue my career as an ag teacher.
I would also like to congratulate Hat Creek Construction, Kirack Construction, and Susanville Supermarket IGA for setting the new record of the highest purchased market lamb in Lassen County since 2006!
If it was not for the support and encouragement from these people, I could not continue to excel the way that I have. Once again, thank you Hat Creek Construction, Kirack Construction, and Susanville Supermarket IGA for purchasing my lamb and always providing me with overwhelming support!
Sincerely, Katelyn Kirack
