Oklahoma's Got the Man on the National Beef Ambassador Team

Oklahoma's Got the Man on the National Beef Ambassador Team


He's several months into his term as one of five National Beef Ambassadors, and today on the Beef Buzz, we catch up with Jackson Alexander of Anadarko and the get the latest on the Beef Ambassadors and all of their activities. Alexander is in his senior year at Anadarko High School, and was chosen last fall as a National Beef Ambassador, along with four college freshmen from Texas, Wyoming, Nebraska and California.


Jackson writes of himself on the Beef Ambassador website "I've been raised on a Hereford farm, with my mom and dad. Some of my earliest memories are out on the farm, feeding cattle with my parents, riding horses, and showing at the county fairs. When I was seven, I began showing Hereford cattle, and got involved with 4-H and FFA where I not only showed, but started competing in speech competitions. During middle school and high school I got involved with our state's Beef Ambassador program, the Oklahoma Club Calf Association, Junior Hereford Association of Oklahoma, and the Oklahoma Junior Cattlemen's Association. Within these organizations, I held many local, district and state offices. I've loved every minute of my time in the cattle industry, and from my first Beef Ambassador completion I knew I wanted to someday compete for a national title. During high school, the beef cattle and showing industry has taken me to so many places and allowed me to have so many opportunities. Through showing cattle, I've exhibited champion Hereford heifers at the National Western in Denver, the Oklahoma State Fair, Kansas State Fair, Tulsa State Fair, Oklahoma State University's Winter Bonanza, the Oklahoma Youth Expo, and the Oklahoma Beef Expo, along with division winners at the American Royal."
