My name is Kodie McCollum Unruh. I married an awesome dude and wasn't able to part with my maiden name so now I just have two last names. The whole hyphen thing just wasn't for me.
In May of 2012 I graduated from Kansas State University! Wildcat Alumni baby!

After graduation I returned home to our family farm. My awesome dad and amazing uncle Frank run the farm. We have a dairy, beef cattle, and also about 1,500 acres of farm ground. I have two younger sisters and with their help we all keep everything running smoothly, at least most days it does.
You may be wondering what I do on the farm. Basically I am the third hand. I do everything, from running errands to working pigs. (We also have some pigs. They are not my favorite thing to mess with.) My main job is milking my moo moo's. We milk twice a day and I am there for 8 of the 14 milkings every week. Most days I like my cows, but we have our moments. Everyone has that annoying co-worker that they have to deal with. Some days I have 98 annoying co-workers that just don't want to cooperate. 98 is how many cows that currently come see me in the milk barn. I've got about 20 more that are knocked up and waiting to pop. The most I've ever had at once was 118. The cow in the picture is one of my sisters and I's favorite. Her name is Shady 80. Her tag number used to be 80 and that's where the 80 part comes from. The shady part comes from how ornery she was last year after she had her calf. She would figure out how to get out of the cow pasture after every. single. milking. This went on for about two months before she decided to calm down. She had another baby last week and is back in the barn once again.
