Get to know Ryan Trefiak. A fourth-generation producer from MJT Cattle Company in Edgerton, Alberta, Ryan grew up showing Hereford, Angus, and Charolais cattle, starting with his very first show heifers, Cheetah and Rosebud. Since then, he's become a Canadian Junior Angus and Junior Hereford member, a 4-H club treasurer and vice president, and a five-time Calgary Stampede International Youth Scholar. This fall, he's off to Iowa State University to study Agricultural Systems Technologies, and he plans to bring it all back home to Edgerton and MJT.

"My generation isn't the first to bring change. We're only the latest," says Trefiak.
