Dr. Grandin proved anyone who has ever said you can’t do it or shouldn’t do it wrong. She was born with autism and unable to speak until the age of 2 (Tevis, 2012). Her life at school was hard but her high school science teacher was an encouraging mentor (Tevis, 2012). She is now a professor of animal science at Colorado State University. This has personally influenced my life because it proves anybody can do anything no matter what.

Warm weather can cause heat stress in cattle. She advocates more cattle shades to address heat stress. She says “but you have to lay them out right, so the shadow moves, or you’ll have mud piles underneath” (Tevis, 2012).
