Florida's ranching community recently lost a great champion with the passing of Mrs. Imogene Yarborough of Geneva, Florida. She was a lifelong advocate for beef and the preservation of our cow culture heritage so it seemed only fitting to share some cowgirl poetry dedicated to her memory. The poem selections chosen each spoke to her attributes in one way or another so I hope y'all enjoy this episode and if you feel so inclined, please look up the Florida Cattlemen's Foundation online and make a donation/contribution on her behalf.
