Hello! My name is Peyton Kottwitz. My roots started in Lusk, Wyoming and have branched many different places in my 22 years.  I grew up on my family’s cow/calf operation where we ran black and red angus cattle.  Starting in about 7th grade I would spend the summers with horse trainer Matt and his wife Brianna Koch. I spent the summers working for them for 7 years.  After graduating high school, I attended Laramie County Community College in Cheyenne, Wyoming for 2 years.  I studied Equine Training and Management along with Agriculture Production. After 2 years at LCCC I transferred to Texas Christian University and studied Ranch Management. I graduated from TCU in May of 2022.  My roots have branched to Oklahoma, Texas, South Dakota, and now Nebraska.  Currently I work for TD Angus in North Platte as an animal health specialist.  In my spare time I enjoy riding young horses, cooking and baking, and hanging out with my dog Mia.
