Hi! My name is Beth. I have grown up with swine for most of my life as back home we have a small swine operation that my family started when I was in 4-H and now I work at our swine unit. Outside of the unit I love to have quality time with friends, go to concerts, and cook/bake! I’m excited to share my experiences and passion for swine with others!
