| Christine's Steer |
One of the
first times that I met Christine I saw her sporting a black jacket with the
letters on the back reading “NJHA” and I knew that she and I had a
connection. Christine is a member of the
National Junior Hereford Association as well as the Pennsylvania Junior
Hereford Association, just like I was for eight years. Christine’s love for the red-brown colored
body and brilliant white face, belly and legs of the Hereford cattle, has made
her a fantastic advocate for both the cattle and agriculture industries.

Upon my
first SAE (Supervised Agriculture Experience) visit with her I learned that
Christine has a small barn in her back yard where she and her sister have their
small herd of less than
ten cows.
However, even with a small herd they have more than enough to gain experience
and learn the responsibility that goes into caring for livestock. Christine has been exhibiting animals throughout
Pennsylvania for at least three years and she is excited to continue going to
the National Junior Hereford Exhibitions.
I am
thrilled to learn about her love for cattle and she shared with me that as she
furthers her education, she definitely wants it to revolve around agriculture!
