This week we wanted to recognize Shay McCluskey✨⠀ ⠀ Shay was born and raised in Dixon, CA on a farm growing row crops; corn, sunflowers and tomatoes. In 2004, the McCluskey’s moved their family ranch to Red Bluff where they started their own cow/calf operation. With agriculture running deep in her veins, Shay graduated with a degree in Agriculture Business from CSU Chico. An internship at the Shasta Livestock Auction Yard and several years working in the Butte County Farm Bureau office prepared Shay well for her role as a member of the farm team and Claims Advocate at Heritage. ⠀ ⠀ Shay serves on the executive committee of the Butte Young Farmers and Ranchers and is an active member with the Tehama County Cattle Women’s Association. Shay enjoys spending time with her family and says, “The best times are always found when friends and family gather round.” And she and her fiancé Matt look forward to their upcoming wedding day.⠀ ⠀ We asked Shay a few fun questions to kick off this chilly weekend 🌧⠀ ⠀ What is your favorite Christmas Movie? 🎄White Christmas with Bing Crosby & Danny Kaye. My family and I watch that movie every December when we are together. It is a feel-good movie with classic Christmas songs from classic voices.⠀ ⠀ What is one book that has impacted you? 📚⠀ Girl Wash your Face & Girl Stop Apologizing by Rachel Hollis. Hands down the best books I have read in a long time. They are empowering and make you feel that you can conquer/do anything!⠀ ⠀ If you could live anywhere in the world for a year, where would it be? 🌎⠀ I would live in Europe, just so I could explore every inch of each place.⠀ ⠀ What is your favorite season?🍂⠀ My favorite season is Fall. I love when the air gets crisp and the leaves start changing colors. It is the calm before the Holiday storm and just a peaceful yet exciting time of year.
