Our Team

Rural Route Creations was established in November of 2007 by Cassie Dorran. While attending Oklahoma State University majoring in Agricultural Communications and Animal Science – Livestock Marketing, Cassie began creating marketing materials for livestock producers. 11 years later, her foundation of integrity and livestock industry passion has only grown. With deep agricultural roots, she grew up in Arkansas showing and raising purebred cattle, sheep and hogs. Cassie loves the industry but especially the people in it. She was a member of both the highly regarded livestock and meat judging teams in university.  


In 2012, Cassie married Ryan Dorran, a purebred livestock auctioneer and owner of Dorran Marketing Inc. DMI serves as an umbrella company of RRC within Canada. Ryan and Cassie enjoy traveling to visit their customers and seeing cattle at every chance. Their dedication and loyalty to their customers remains their concentration. Their son Dalton was born in 2017, and being a mother is her most favorite job of all.  


Over the last decade, marketing has revolutionized through the internet and social media, but clean, focused approaches will always be here to stay. Cassie loves telling the stories of their customers through a branded campaign that will increase awareness and ultimately business. You can often find her photographing, videoing, writing and designing on your behalf. Your trust and vision are No. 1 priority to Cassie when you invest in Rural Route Creations marketing.

Days get busy with the fluctuation of sale seasons, but Shallaine always maintains a steady calmness as she gracefully attends to the task at hand.   Shallaine loves cattle people and enjoys getting to travel new places and see new things. She has an abundant amount of love for children and junior cattle activities, and can often be found with Cassie’s little boy close by. She’s always up for good food and can cook with the best of them!
