Sara has been involved with Columbia sheep her entire life. Since 2013, she served on the Board of Directors including three years as the National President.

Troxel Columbias have raised outstanding Columbias for decades. Most recently Sara and her parents, Dave and Mary Troxel, and her family showed the National Champion Ewe in 2021 and showed both the Reserve National Champion Ram and Reserve National Champion Ewe in 2015.
Courtney also received the nostalgic Anne Key Sportsmanship Award. This award was voted on by the Junior Sheep members. It based on integrity, teamwork, patience, and spirit.
