Jordan Steele grew up on a cow-calf operation near Aladdin, WY before completing his Master’s Degree in Agricultural Economics at the University of Wyoming. After college, Jordan worked for the Kansas Farm Management Association through Kansas State University for 7 ½ years where he specialized in agricultural business recordkeeping, financial analysis and interpretation, and income tax preparation for farmers and ranchers in 17 counties of NW Kansas. Being familiar with Ranching for Profit principles since college, Jordan attended his first full RFP school in 2017 and was instantly hooked on how well the program delivery ties together the people, money, and production areas of ranching.
Jordan and his wife Jori welcomed their first child in August 2022 and are excited to be back in the Cowboy State of Wyoming. Both have a heart for lifelong learning and continue to improve on their own ranch management skills. In their free time, Jordan and Jori enjoy team roping, hunting, and anything else horseback.
Caitlin Word serves as the content and delivery coordinator for RMC. Caitlin grew up on large-scale cow/calf ranches in west Texas and southeastern New Mexico before completing a bachelor’s degree from West Texas A&M University, followed by a master’s degree in ruminant nutrition from New Mexico State University. After graduation, Caitlin worked at Noble Research Institute for 6 years as a grazing livestock and regenerative ranching advisor. There, she consulted ranchers on livestock, grazing, and general ranch management through the lens of reducing reliance on inputs and creating resiliency within their operations. She has a passion for both learning and teaching, having completed Understanding Ag, Soil Health Academy, HMI, and Savory trainings, in addition to completing the KRIRM Texas Farm Credit Advanced Ranch Management certificate. Caitlin and husband Kenny reside in south-central Oklahoma with their son, Lucas, and enjoy spending their free time hunting with their dogs, on the lake or the coast, or frequenting the show barn.
