In the inaugural episode of the Grit and Grace podcast, hosted by Ranch House Designs, the focus is on celebrating women in agriculture and specifically the purebred livestock industry. Our first guest is Traci Middleton of Mill Creek Land and Cattle, based in Puryear, Tennessee.

The conversation covers Traci's background, from her involvement in 4-H and FFA to running her own successful cattle operation and participating in industry leadership. Traci discusses the challenges and joys of being a working mom, rancher, and cattle judge, sharing insights on balancing professional life with personal passions. The episode also touches on Traci's social media habits, daily routines, and fashion preferences for work and showing cattle.
