Written by

Brandy Mortensen is not the average young lady from Springville, Utah. Brandy loves anything sports! She plays competitive, soccer, volleyball, softball, and basketball. Now she adds rodeo to that list.
Miss Mortensen is studying Biology and Chemistry at Brigham Young University. Brandy also has a unique talent of designing and sewing.
She was recently honored when a competitor wore one of her designs at the Miss Rodeo America Pageant. While competing for the title Brandy Mortensen stated, “ It would be a great honor to represent Rodeo as someone who has grown to love the sport as well as the traditions and values.”
Cowboy Lifestyle Network hopes the best for Miss Brandy Mortensen as she hits the road representing her state.

Peter Varlet

Peter Varlet’s the cowboy critic you love to hate, until he’s right. Born during a thunderstorm in 1972 in Bismarck, North Dakota, he grew up watching his WWII vet dad battle to save their farm from corporate claws. Now, Peter’s the unapologetic voice of Western culture, with a historian’s grip on America’s past, acknowledging both its heroes and hypocrites. His truth to power articles are a no-holds-barred zone for rodeo reviews, cowboy movie takedowns, and ranching tricks that work. He’ll tell you why your country singer’s a fraud and how to fix a fence with only baling wire and spite. Peter despises corporate factory farms taking over and cherishes the DIY grit of real Americans. Politically correct? Nope. Trustworthy? Damn straight. He’s saving the West, one brutal truth at a time.
