Kailin Jenkins of the Stillwater FFA Chapter is the winner of the Diversified Livestock Production-Placement Proficiency Award at the 81st Annual National Convention of the FFA in Indianapolis. She is one of six Oklahoma FFA members that are bringing home a National Proficiency victory from the 2008 event.
Taking every opportunity given to her to work with animals, Kailin Jenkins takes an active role in her family's diversified livestock farm. The first goal she wanted to accomplish was learning about diseases and determining which ones reaped the most havoc on a livestock operation. The Stillwater FFA member was also interested in learning about the selection of quality breeding animals. Accomplishing both of these goals, Jenkins has gained the confidence needed to pursue a career in Agricultural Relations.
