Agriculture and rodeo are the true passions of Taryn Reid. The 12-year-old Geraldine, Mont., native enjoys every minute of life on her family’s wheat and cattle farm, located in the heart of Montana’s Golden Triangle. As a poised young cowgirl, Taryn has found successes that range from the 4-H show pen to the rodeo royalty stage. As the 2021 Big Sky Pro Rodeo Princess, Reid exemplifies all that is 4-H and rodeo.
