artificial inseminating on his

Jesse’s love for showing
dairy cattle can be ex
pressed through his win

shows. This past summer at
the South Central FFA
District Show Jesse came
home with reserve senior
and grand champion honors.
At the state FFA Show he
won first with his Holstein
aged cow and third with his
two year old Holstein.
When asked how the FFA
has helped him, Jesse
replied, “It has helped me in
many ways. The key to
success is in being active not
only in FFA but in
everything around you -
community work, Young
Farmers, Junior Holstein
Clubs, 4-H work and church
