Light a Candle for Her, Girls; The Originial #Cowbios

Rachel Gabel's #cowbios go beyond cows and instead spotlight relatable, humorous women who are simply trying their best. The first #cowbio in early 2023 featured Linda, aka #glamourgoat, and each subsequent bio was posted daily from Monday to Friday. What started as a small group of primarily women enjoying social media posts has grown into a tight-knit community where members can see themselves and their friends in each character sketch. Gabel finds joy in collaborating with other ranch women for ideas, guest bios, and photos of their own cows, creating the only "gang" she ever wanted to be part of. These bios have also provided a welcome distraction for Gabel amidst the heavy agriculture news of six states, and have even brought a smile to readers facing their own challenges. Additionally, the community has shared tidbits that Gabel has incorporated into new #cowbios. This 148-page hardcover book measures 5.5 x 8".
