Natalie is determined to maintain the farming tradition she and her husband grew up with. The ranch that she lives on has been in the Martin Family for 4 generations, and their 3 daughters are the 5th generation. Each of these girls spent their first few weeks of life in a baby backpack as she did chores around the ranch. They learned quickly that Gender Equality is alive and well in American Agriculture today. Natalie has earned the respect of fellow farmers and ranchers as an outstanding stockman. So much so, that other lifelong folks in agriculture ask her to consult on their cattle raising operation. Every year, Natalie raises over 400 heifers for neighboring ranches, in addition to her own livestock. Now her daughters are following in her footsteps. Erin, the oldest, is in 4H, and has begun showing her own cattle, Kelsey, The middle daughter is an accomplished archer having won her age division at many local archery contests. Baby Sydney shows a great deal of interest in the critters around the ranch and just has to master walking to start taking part in the family ranching operation. Running the ranch has given Natalie a chance to incorporate job and family together. It has taught the Martin children the value of hard work, and given them a sense of accomplishment. Best of all it has brought them all closer together to achieve a common goal and continue the ranching tradition in the Two Rock Valley.
