Chloee Clark, started showing as young as she could be. She has been built in family values and in this industry. From the first win to the latest at Cattleman Congrats. She has led the industry with her faith first and her family second. 

 “I’m just like anyone else trying to do the best I can, both in and out of the show ring. My family and I take a lot of pride in the hours we put in and the work we do when no one is watching. “I’m very family-oriented, and I truly couldn’t do any of this without the people around me. My faith plays a big role in my life, and I look to God for guidance in everything I do. I also work with kids every day, both at school and at home, which has shown me how important it is to invest in and work with youth.”

Chloee Clark started her showing journey at a very young age. She got her first heifer at age seven. Chloee has always been surrounded by amazing – people that have helped her get to where she is today.

“I was surrounded by people who believed in doing things the right way. My family set the foundation, teaching me responsibility, work ethic, and respect for the livestock industry and everyone involved in it. My parents and two older sisters helped shape me into the showman and person I am today.”

Chloee has had so many opportunities and has won so many amazing shows. However, she has realised that the late nights and small details don’t get noticed often. But are the most important part.

“Showing at a national level takes great ambition and sacrifice. It’s early mornings, late nights, and attention to detail that don’t often get noticed. But, when put it all together, it makes the difference between good and great. It’s daily care, consistency, and holding yourself accountable even when it’s easy not to. The unseen work is what makes visible success possible.”

There wasn’t one single moment that Chloee realized she had come far enough to be a big player. But, throughout the years she has come to that realization.

“My parents had an unbelievable amount of trust in my sisters and me and what we could do inside and outside the ring. We have been showing in national shows since 2008, starting with my oldest sister. Which I think grew our confidence as we grew up. I feel like my parents always thought that if you’re going to do something, you should do it to the best of your ability and try to be the best. And what better way to get better than competing against the best?”

Chloee has been blessed so many times with so many amazing wins. “Enough to achieve dreams of mine and my family’s.”

“The show that meant the most to me is the 2026 cattlemen’s congress.” This show held so many core memories for Chloee and her family.

“My sister and I were grand and reserve junior Simmental females and I was lucky enough to win the open Simmental heifer also.” 

“Tilly” This was the most breathtaking experience in the show ring. I had my family in the stands and my dad ringside beside me the whole time.”

“When it came time for them to pick their champion I was thinking there were so many good heifers they could go so many ways…..As the judges walked toward me I was honestly expecting them to walk past me and pick another heifer, but when he took his hat off and pointed at me… Pure shock and joy filled my body. It was a surreal feeling.”

With success comes higher expectations, and Chloee has definitely felt that. She has had to learn that pressure is a privilege. 

“It means you’ve put yourself in a position where people expect greatness.”

 Chloee tries not to focus on the outside pressure. But, instead she focuses on how high her standard for herself is. 

“I try not to focus on outside expectations and instead hold myself to my own standard. The biggest pressure comes from me. I always want to be better than I was yesterday. At the end of the day, I go back to the basics: do the work, trust the process, and control what I can control.”

Chloees parents have played a big role in how Chloee and her sisters handle pressure. 

“They have always held us to higher standards and expected a lot but they always knew we were capable of these things. Their unwavering belief in us has made us into the people we are today. They have shown us how to handle things in not just a showing, but our everyday lives. We do all we can and if it doesn’t work out we keep trying everyday after that. Failure isn’t a sign to stop trying, it’s a sign to work harder.”

Losing comes in and out of the ring. Maybe you lost in the ring last weekend but your heifer finally isn’t acting up at home. Losing is a part of the game and Chloee knows that. She has found that losing has taught her much more than winning ever could.

“Losing has taught me humility, resilience, and perspective. Winning is exciting, but losing forces you to evaluate, adjust, and grow. It reminds you that nothing is guaranteed and that this industry doesn’t owe you anything. Some of my biggest improvements came after losses because they pushed me to sharpen the small details. Losing builds character in a way winning never has to. Looking back, losing has helped me more than any win I have had could.”

“For my family failure just isn’t an option so yes you can be upset when things don’t go your way but in the end you have to get up and just do better.”

“When I walk into the ring, everything slows down…”

For Chloee in the ring she sees her heifer as priority number one. Then comes focusing on the Judge – while always staying ring present.

“I Focus on presenting my heifer to the absolute best of my ability. I’m watching the judge, staying aware of my surroundings, and making sure every step, every set-up, and every adjustment is intentional. At that moment, it’s just me and my heifer all the work at home either shows or it doesn’t. The showing isn’t as important as the work before, but while you’re in there showing it will honestly determine how well you will do by how well you can present that animal.”

Chloee admits by showing she has had to give up a lot. However the things in return are much better than anything she didn’t get the chance to do. 

“I’ve given up free time, weekends, and a lot of “normal” teenage experiences. There are early mornings and long nights when most people are relaxing. But what it’s given me in return is so much bigger: discipline, responsibility, lifelong friendships, and opportunities. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. The sacrifices have shaped me into who I am.”

“Work ethic, integrity, humility, and faith guide everything I do.”

Chloee believes that in the ring and in life it matters more how you lose than how you win. 

“I believe how you act when you lose matters just as much as how you act when you win. I want to represent my family and this industry with class. Success means nothing if you don’t carry yourself the right way.”

Chloee hopes that people remember her as a showman that makes you want to get up and work harder. 

“I hope they remember that I worked hard, treated people with respect, and always showed gratitude. I want to be known as someone who elevated the people around her, not just someone who collected banners. The wins fade, but your character and how you make people feel is what lasts. I hope they think of me and remember my family and everything we do together and how we try to help other people each day.”

Chloee is working toward continuing to compete at the highest level and constantly improving. “I never want to become comfortable. What motivates me is always trying to be better than I was before. Seeing how far I can push myself.”

Chloee is driven by the standard, “ I always focus on the standard I’ve set. With the desire to leave a legacy that’s bigger than one season and something bigger than just wins.”

When asked who is her biggest supporter is, Chloee said, “Without a doubt, my family.”

“They’ve sacrificed time, money, sleep, and so much more to support my dreams. Breeders, fitters, and mentors have also played a huge role in pushing me to be better. It truly takes a team, and I’m incredibly thankful for mine.”

Chloee believes that every young Showmen needs to understand, “That it’s not glamorous every day.”

“It’s a daily commitment when no one is watching. It’s setbacks, doubt, and hard lessons. But if you’re willing to outwork yesterday’s version of yourself and stay consistent, the results will come. Fall in love with the process, not just the spotlight.”
