Not about the cows
My #cowbios have little to do with cows, really. They are snapshots of women that are relatable, funny, and prove that women are all just doing their best. The first #cowbio in early 2023 was a picture of a goat with an underbite and a backstory that involves bowling and a mean pina colada. From Linda the #glamourgoat, a new #cowbio was added daily, Monday through Friday.
#CowBio community
The community that gathered to enjoy the daily social media posts became a small gang of (primarily) women who can see themselves and their friends in each character sketch. It’s the only gang I’ve ever wanted to belong to.
Navigating
With a small circle of other ranch women pitching in with ideas, guest bios, and photos of their own cows, I truly get by with a little help from my friends. The #cowbios have served as a welcome distraction as I navigate often heavy agriculture news across more than six states. Members of the #cowbio community have dropped me notes periodically to let me know they have helped bring a smile as they have navigated loss and challenge. They also drop me notes with little tidbits I’ve been able to incorporate into a #cowbio.
What you’ll find
Come here for daily #cowbios, stories, and glimpses into works in progress.
