My name is JaCee Aaseth and I am from a small town in North Dakota. I have been around the show circuit in North Dakota for about 4 years as a member of the North Dakota Junior Point Show Association, but I have been showing cattle for about 13 years. Some of the biggest life lessons I have ever learned have come from showing cattle. It is just like playing sports. Sportsmanship is required if you ever plan to play again. So many kids start off showing by being active in clubs we call “4-H” or “FFA,” which stands for Future Farmers of America. In this blog I plan on showing all the positives and great outcomes that showing cattle can have on a person’s life. This industry brings so much work ethic and interest to many kids across America who plan on fulfilling a dream of working in Agriculture. This can be rewarding for anyone of any age, but where the learning lies is within the youth where they may take away the most life lessons. Whether you are one of the lucky ones who got to grow up around animals or not, you still may take away a new perspective of how much one activity can teach someone. Check back weekly as I take you through the show circuit and the beautiful culture of showing cattle and being involved in the Ag industry.
