Caiden Flynn
Dry Cedar Ranch
Caiden, a native of northern Colorado, is dedicating his summer to an internship at Dry Cedar Ranch near Ericson. A graduate of the College of Southern Idaho with a degree in Agriculture, his journey has taken him through Nevada, Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming. His passion for agriculture, nurtured through his involvement in rodeo, has led him to connect with some of the most genuine, caring, and helpful individuals. He aspires to continue fostering such relationships through the internship program.
Caiden decided to complete a Sandhills Ranch Internship to learn more about all facets of beef production and gain knowledge and work experience in ranching. He enjoys the work and community in agriculture, looks forward to the challenges involved, wants to learn, and enjoys seeing new country.

What has been most rewarding?
My favorite part has been spending time with the horses, whether that's cleaning the barn or working with and halter-breaking the colts. I've figured out that I just really like and enjoy working with horses.
The Young Adult Ranching for Profit was exceptional. I learned so much, and many of the lessons apply to life in general. Our experiences shape us, and we can gain a lot of insight by looking at things from a different perspective.
What have you grown to appreciate about the Sandhills?
The sandhills are a pretty place with a lot of wildlife and so green.
Future plans:
Caiden plans to work at a leather shop and do leather work over the winter and then pursue a career in the horse industry.
