Audra is the middle child of Jesse and Michelle. She is currently attending Northwestern Oklahoma State University where she is majoring in Agricultural Business. She follows in the footsteps of her Great-Grandmother, Avis Marcum, Grandmother, Dana Chapman, her mother and father, and her Aunt Katie and Uncle Dominic, all who attended Northwestern Oklahoma State University. We are a proud Ranger family for sure! 

Audra graduated from Alva High School last year. In high school she was a strong member of FFA, showing pigs. During her junior year she earned her way to the Oklahoma Youth Expo, the largest 4H and FFA livestock show in the nation. There she showed her Hampshire pig and won 5th out of 800 Hampshires and made the premium sale! The premium sales takes the top 2% of 10,000 selling livestock at the show. She also earned her State FFA Degree honors the seniors who have participated in multiple areas of FFA during high school. She also played 1st and 3rd base for the softball team making many friends and memories with her little sister Aimee. 

Audra's favorite ranch meal is Cowboy Stew. This stew/casserole dish is so yummy and supper easy to make. When Audra was little her Nana, Jesse's mom, used to make it. She has memories of going to the Gage Artesian Beach (Oklahoma's largest outdoor swimming pool) with her cousins during the summer, then going back to Nana's and eating Cowboy Stew. This hearty beef, bean, and potato stew was exactly what the kids needed after a long day of swimming. Now that Audra is a college student and living on her own, she can make this simple meal and get a taste of home! Check out the recipe! You won't be disappointed!

Last week was full of all the emotions: fear, anxiety, humbleness at the power of fire and nature, gratitude for God's grace, and pride for the community in which we live.
