Franklin FFA Member Strives to Grow Personal Beef Operation and Sell Genetics Worldwide

As a fourth-generation cattleman, Jennifer Mask has set the goal of growing her Supervised Agriculture Experience into a thriving cattle operation and, in turn, selling genetics worldwide.

Growing up with both parents trained in bovine artificial insemination, Mask wanted to follow in their footsteps.

"It was an important goal for me to learn how to artificially inseminate cattle," said Mask. "Using AI allows me to be able to select bulls with appropriate genetics and EPDs to enhance my cattle operation."

The Franklin FFA member believes her abilities are improving and plans to continue the practice.

"Learning the skill has enhanced my cattle operation," said Mask. "I have learned that it takes time and patience to complete my goal."

She believes that agriculturists' most significant responsibility is to care for their stock humanely.

"One role in my SAEs that I take very seriously is the daily feeding schedule," said Mask. "To obtain optimal growth and performance, your projects need the correct nutrition consistently each day, including feeding times."

From an early age, her parents have taught her to be a problem solver and hard worker.

"I have learned from my experiences so far that it takes a village to be successful," said Mask. "I have been blessed by many great mentors and supporters that help push me in everything I do."

Mask's successful SAE project was recognized as the Star Greenhand in Production at the 2022 Texas FFA State Convention.
