Introduction

Emily's journey toward The Beef Initiative and her subsequent support from the I Am Texas Slim Foundation began with a simple, yet purposeful, Google search not for The Beef Initiative specifically, but for organizations that could support her in raising her second steer. "I literally Googled 'beef production places in Texas,' and I clicked on The Beef Initiative because that's what came up," Emily recalls. This moment of digital serendipity was more than just a quest for resources; it was a pivotal step that validated her dreams and solidified her resolve to pursue a future in ranching.
