Jordan grew up in Logan, Iowa
with her parents, Jay and Lori,
and siblings, Jamie, Jenelle,
and Jackson. She loved to show
cattle and you could always
find her with a smile on her
face in the barn. A few years
Jordan Straight Muxfeldt
ago, she began raising and
showing Miniature Australian
Shepherds and was influential
in starting the Iowa Miniature Australian Shepherd Association.
Jordan was selected as the National Junior Limousin Show
Champion Senior Showman in 2010 and the National Western
Stock Show Limousin Herdsman of the Year in 2014.
Jordan received this honor because of her continuous support of the
junior program. She never missed a Heartland Regional Show or a
junior national show and was always willing to lend a helping hand.
Jordan mentored several juniors still active in the association today.
Jordan and her twins, Whitley Leah and Waylon Jay, were welcomed
into God’s loving arms on March 14, 2016, as the result of an
accident in rural Logan, Iowa. Jordan was 27 years old. I
