Her weekdays are spent at the feedyard, overseeing specialty beef programs, taking pictures of cattle, giving tours, and generating content while her evenings, weekend, and every bit of spare time are spent riding her cow horses.
Tune in to find out how Kim balances these two jobs in order to live her best horse life.
