Her mother is Malynda (holding granddaughter Allyson) behind Jaelyn. Her father Tony is all the way to the right. To the right of Malynda is Jaelyn’s brother Brice Hartnett and his girlfriend Micah Schuiteman. Next is family friend Jarret Roos and brother Charlie Hartnett. Dana and Mike Christian, who support local livestock exhibitors, are beside Tony. Behind Dana is Jeff Kolubum of Marcus of CFE Cooperative who assisted the Hartnetts with feed.
