                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 23, 2021

  Ms. HERRELL. Madam Speaker, today I rise to acknowledge this year's 
winner of the New Mexico Cattle Growers Association's Green from the 
Ground Up award, Linda Davis. The Cattle Growers Association awards 
this to individuals who display a lifetime of service to an in-sync 
ecosystem of land, water, wildlife, and livestock.
  Linda and her husband Les have spent a lifetime tending to cattle on 
the Tequesquite and CS Ranch in New Mexico. Ranching has always been in 
her blood. Her great-grandfather established the Tequesquite Ranch in 
Albert, New Mexico in 1878, and she continues that legacy for future 
generations. Linda also remains active in her community, where she 
serves with the Cimarron Volunteer Ambulance Service as an Emergency 
Medical Technician.
  This is not the first time Linda has been honored for her service. In 
2000, she and her husband were inducted into the Hall of Great 
Westerners at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in 
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Additionally, she has received recognition 
from the Cattleman's Beef Board, the Beef Promotion Operating 
Committee, the American National Cattle Women organization, The New 
Mexico Cattle Growers Association, and the New Mexico Beef Council. 
These recognitions are a testament to her hard work and leadership, and 
I congratulate her on this most recent award.
