HOW I STARTED BLONDE SALVAGE

MY HUSBAND IS AN AG TEACHER AT ATASCADERO HIGH SCHOOL AND WE OFTEN TRAVEL FROM SHOW TO SHOW.  WHEN WE HAD OUR TWINS I STAYED HOME WITH THEM AND QUICKLY REALIZED I NEEDED TO  SUPPLEMENT OUR INCOME.  I MADE A COUPLE SIGNS FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND THEN DECIDED TO MIX THE AGRICULTURE WORLD WITH MY CONSTRUCTION BACKGROUND AND BLONDE SALVAGE WAS BORN.

WE ARE A HOG SHOWING FAMILY

MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE 8 YEAR OLD TWINS THAT ARE SHOWING PIGS.  WE RECENTLY STARTED RAISING OUR OWN PIGS WHICH IS A GREAT EXPERIENCE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY. WE STRIVE TO RAISE OUR KIDS IN A AGRICULTURAL LIFE WHERE THEY KNOW WHERE THEIR FOOD COMES FROM, THE MEANING OF HARD WORK, AND THROUGH SHOWING PIGS YOU GAIN FRIENDS THAT ARE LIKE FAMILY.

STAY AT HOME MOM

I AM A STAY AT HOME MOM AND TRY TO INVOLVE MY KIDS IN WHAT I AM WORKING ON.  I WANT THEM TO DEVELOP A  WORK ETHIC EARLY ON IN LIFE AS WELL AS INTRODUCE THEM TO HANDS ON WORK.

I HAVE A CONSTRUCTION BACKGROUND WHERE I WORKED FOR MY DAD AND OUR FAMILY FRIEND, KEN UMBER, WHOM ARE BOTH LICENSED CONTRACTORS.  THE SKILLS I LEARNED FROM BOTH OF THEM EARLY ON ARE IRREPLACEABLE.  MY BROTHER, WYATT WICKS, IS A TREMENDOUSLY TALENTED FINISH CARPENTER, IS A CONSTANT SUPPORT AND WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE. 

DOUBLE TROUBLE

IT CAN BE A STRUGGLE AT TIMES WITH TWINS IN THE SHOP.  HOWEVER, DEEP DOWN I KNOW THE MEMORIES AND SKILLS THEY WILL CREATE AND DEVELOP WILL STICK WITH THEM FOR A LIFETIME.

GROWING UP I WAS INVOLVED IN 4-H, FFA, AND HIGH SCHOOL RODEO.  I TRULY FEEL THESE ORGANIZATIONS SHAPED ME INTO THE PERSON I AM TODAY.  A SENSE OF AGRICULTURE AWARENESS COUPLED WITH AN UNDERSTANDING THAT RESPONSIBILITY AND HARD WORK WILL EQUAL SUCCESS DOWN THE ROAD.  

MY HUSBAND, KYLE DADSON, DEVELOPED A PASSION FOR AGRICULTURE EARLY ON AS WELL.  HE FELL IN LOVE WITH THE SHOW RING, FFA AND IS NOW BLESSED ENOUGH TO LIVE OUT HIS CHILDHOOD DREAM AS AN AGRICULTURE INSTRUCTOR.
