An active youth, she participated in Oklahoma High School Rodeo. In 1999, Ceci- ley was named Miss Oklahoma High School Rodeo. She also won the Oklahoma Girls High School Cutting Horse Championship. Horses continue to occupy the Kirkpatrick farm near Durant, where Ceciley loves to spend time. She married Kirk Sehi and moved to West Texas for 13 years. Kirk was interested in the family business, and Ceciley’s father, Ted, decided he’d be a good addition to the company. After the Kirkpatricks retired, the Sehis took over management of Texas Feed Fat Co. They have three facilities – Durant; Hereford, Texas; and Justin, Texas. The Justin plant was recently established, growing the company and providing greater service to the cattle feeding area. Ceciley’s current project is a Merle Norman Cosmetics Studio, another recent busi- ness addition located in Durant. Her family is completed with daughter, Cylan, 9, who likes the family business and the gym. She’s a soccer goalie and softball catcher on the local Durant teams. Ceciley loves to spend time with her family; they take their Polaris Ranger regularly for outdoor activities. She’s got a brother to keep track of and will read anything that’s set in front of her. “It’s nice to be busy and to be in the industry as long as I have,” Ceciley says. “I don’t plan to go anywhere soon.”  Allflex USA Inc.................... 19 Beef Empire Days.............. 39 Bieber Red Angus Ranch.............................. 29 Brute Cattle Equipment/ Dodge Mfg....................... 37 Cargill................................. 48 Capitol Land & Livestock......................... 33 Cattle Feeders Hall of Fame............................... 21 Cobett Company................ 39 Elanco.................................. 2 FCS Manufacturing Inc.. ..... 38 Hoxie Implement................ 41 Johnson Concrete Products.......................... 31 Kemin............................ 12-13 Kunafin............................... 35 Micronutrients. ................... 17 Midcontinent Livestock Supplements................... 31 Multimin USA Inc.................. 7 National Cattlemen’s Beef Association............. 47 Plum Creek Wagyu. ........... 41 Rawhide Portable Corral.... 23 Rotomix................................ 3 ServiTech........................... 29 Stuart Products.................. 27 Texas Feed Fat Co.
