Miss Rodeo North Texas: Kendall Pearse

Published

on

Rodeo involves livestock, dirt and grit, meaning it is almost guaranteed to be dusty and smelly, not unlike its working ranch roots. Fortunately, there is the rodeo queen who brings charm, elegance and beauty to balance out the rough and tumble side of the sport.

Reigning Miss Rodeo North Texas Kendall Pearse of Valley View, Texas, is the epitome of a great ambassador for rodeo. As she concludes her successful rodeo queen career to pursue a master’s in nursing, she looks back over her accomplishments.

The 24-year-old comes from a farming and ranching background, graduating from Era High School. In 2012, she won her first title as Miss Jim Bowie Days.

“I’ve just been doing it ever since,” Pearse recalled. “My dad rodeoed, and I come from a family of rodeo cowboys, so it was always in my blood and in my heart. I barrel raced and just decided I wanted to give it a try. I always say rodeo is the brawn, and we rope and we ride, but then there’s the beauty side. There’s so much opportunity in rodeo queening.”

Land Market Report: January Land Sales

Published

The rural land market in North Texas has had a fairly stale start to the year, with the number of transactions closed being minimal so far. There has been an increase in call volume from buyers, and some are turning into contracts, but I feel like we are still a little slower than we usually are at this time of the year. The “experts” are expecting fewer transactions in 2024 as compared to 2023, and they may be correct, because election years always seem to be slower. Once the election is over, and regardless of who wins, things seem to pick up once again. It is a strange phenomena that just seems to happen every four years.

With the amount of growth that we are currently experiencing here, I do not expect things to get any cheaper. More people means more houses, and they have to have land to build those houses on.
