Future Plans: I plan on going to JJC where hopefully I am able to be on the Livestock judging team. While at JJC I would get a two year degree in Ag Business or Animal Science. While at JJC, I plan on doing an internship during the summer with Judge Baldridge out in Nebraska and work on his cow calf operation. Once I do graduate from JJC I will come back to the family farm and work.
