The Pine Island FFA’s general livestock judging team paid us a visit this afternoon. We were able to put three different classes together for them as they prepared for the upcoming judging contest season. We wish them the best of luck!

Congratulations Anne from all of us here at Northwind Boers! We’re proud of your accomplishments in the dairy industry. Best wishes on continuing your education at Kansas State.

We hope you enjoyed the reel of scholarship recipients we posted yesterday. Over the next several days we will feature each scholarship category individually in order to add more recognition to the scholarship recipients.

We start with the scholarship with the longest history. The National Dairy Shrine Kildee Graduate Scholarship has been awarded every year since 1950. It is named in honor of H.H. Kildee, Dean Emeritus at Iowa State University, who inspired many of the industry’s early dairy leaders.

Students in their senior year of college through the first year after graduation may apply for up to two $3,000 scholarships. These scholarships are to be used for advanced study related to the dairy industry at the school of their choice.

This year's recipients are:
Benjamin Styer, a graduate of the University of Minnesota who is pursuing a graduate degree also at the University of Minnesota with an emphasis in dairy genetics.

Anne Simpson, an Iowa State University graduate who is pursuing a graduate degree at Kansas State University.

Congratulations to these recipients!

Want to send out a special thanks too Boot Jack Boers. They ran a showmanship clinic today and two young showmen got a very nice learning experience!

Hard to believe that the little 10 year old girl who purchased the first two does that we had on our farm is now about to graduate from college. Everyone at Northwind Boers says congratulations Anne and best wishes as you move on to Kansas State!!!

Out next senior spotlight is…🎉ANNE SIMPSON🎉

Anne will be graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science with a minor in Biology and a Dairy Cattle Production Management Certificate. After graduation, she will attend Kansas State University for a Master's in Animal Science with an emphasis in dairy nutrition.

Her favorite memories were all of the fall industry trips! It was always fun to see new places and learn new things alongside other members.

Her advice to younger members is to find an older member to act as a mentor. People in this club are always looking to give back and would love to help you succeed in this club, so don't be afraid to make connections with older members!

Congratulations Anne and best of luck at K-State!
