Welcome New Junior Activities Committee Members Katie Wendorf - SW District JAC Hi! I’m Katie Wendorf of Vernon County and I am excited to serve as the new SW JAC representative. I am currently a freshman at Harvard University studying mathematics and pre-med. I am the 18-year-old daughter of Kent and Anna Wendorf of Viroqua. I’m looking forward meeting many members over the next two years!
Nate Huser - NW District JAC Hey! I am Nathan Huser, your new NW district JAC! I am excited to spend the next two years learning from other members and getting to know all of you. I am the 18-year-old son of Dave and Adele Huser. I live on a 240-acre dairy farm, Honeyview Century Farm, in rural Vesper. We have a heifer raising operation and currently house nearly 150 dairy heifers. I attend Wisconsin Rapids Lincoln High School where I am a senior. I plan to attend UW-River Falls for Agricultural Engineering with intentions of assisting on the family farm or possibly managing a larger dairy. I hope to help introduce new ideas into our Association and get to know as many of our members as I can. Wish me luck, and I look forward to spending the next two years as a JAC member!
Cara Biely - NE District JAC Hello Holstein enthusiasts! I am Cara Biely, and am representing your NE district as a JAC. I live in Reedsville in Manitowoc County. I am the daughter of Mark and Lois, and my siblings are Corey and Curt. I am a freshman at the University of Wisconsin-Madison majoring in Dairy Science. I am very excited to see many of you at Holstein events coming up! Brett Hildebrandt - SE District JAC Hello fellow Junior Holstein youth! My name is Brett Hildebrandt, and I am your new SE district JAC. I live in Dodge County on a 70-cow Registered Holstein farm, where we also run 950 acres of cropland. My parents are Roger and Faye Hildebrandt, and I have one older brother, Ty. I am a first year student at UW-Madison’s Farm and Industry Short Course, where I am pursuing a certificate in Dairy Herd Management. I eventually hope to return home to our family farm and be a co-owner. I am very excited to be a JAC member and look forward to meeting and getting to know everyone from around the state!
