Megan is a 7 year member of the Elliott County 4-H Livestock Club and has participated in local, district, and state level livestock shows. Megan has developed a passion for the cattle industry after being introduced through 4-H livestock. Megan has grown the scope of her livestock project from one market steer project to having two breeding heifer projects and a market steer project this year. She has also used her knowledge gained through the 4-H livestock program to begin her own herd of commercial cows.
