Cattle Growers welcomes Hooten to the team

Please help and welcome aboard our newest member to the New Mexico Cattle Growers’ team, Gracie Hooten. Gracie is a recent graduate from New Mexico State University where she obtained a Master’s Degree in Agriculture; Concentration: Agribusiness, as well as a Bachelor’s Degree in Agricultural Business and Economics. She also recently completed a Product Line Internship Position with Olam Spice/ Olam Food Ingredients (Ofi).

Gracie is from Tularosa, where she has lived and worked on her family’s cattle ranch her entire life. Her passion for agriculture started at a young age. Growing up she was a member of both 4-H and FFA where she was actively involved. She showed livestock and competed in judging competitions. Agriculture has truly impacted her life and it is one of the main reasons why she decided to pursue a degree in this industry.

She will be serving the Association in her new role as Administrative Assistant. Gracie is excited to be a part of the NMCGA team and looks forward to meeting everyone at the Joint Stockmen’s Convention in December! Contact Gracie directly at gracie@nmagriculture.org
