Meredith Sturm of Breda, Iowa was one of ten young learners to earn an Angus Foundation Commercial Cattlemen Scholarship.

This program was created to support students who use registered Angus genetics in their commercial herds. The $1,500 scholarship reflects the Angus Foundation’s commitment to investing in the future of the beef industry by empowering young leaders to pursue educational opportunities.

Sturm is currently attending the University of Iowa majoring in Radiation Sciences with plans to graduate spring of 2030. After graduation, she intends to return to rural Iowa to treat cancer patients.

“The reason why agriculture continues to be a thriving and desirable community is that its members continue to exceed expectations as leaders. Leadership is important because it is the backbone of a successful life and community,” expressed Strum.

Farming in Iowa means Strum’s herd experiences a wide range of weather and rapid changes. For the past 45 years, the Strum family has relied on Angus genetics as the solution to this challenge. She shares that since implementing Angus genetics, cattle have been highly adaptive and able to withstand Iowa’s extreme weather patterns.
