OFI 1439: Stepping Up To Help Out The Chapter | FFA SAE Edition | Kylie Mann | Lincoln High School FFA
Our guest today is not afraid to get started. She first began raising goats when she was five years old by asking for a pet goat for her birthday. Her parents said that she could have one only if she took responsibility for it, and she did without hesitation. Fast forward 8 years, and Kylie Mann found herself in her second year of FFA during the 8th Grade. Her small chapter needed people to fill officer positions, and despite her young age Kylie volunteered to help out, becoming the chapter's reporter. That kind of tells the story on Kylie. She is a go getter, and she doesn't let fear slow her down. She is a three sport athlete and loves the competition. Today she has grown her herd of goats to 13 does. She shows goats, sells goats to other exhibitors and also markets goats through a livestock auction. Raising registered Nubian goats is just the beginning for Kylie. She sees her future as being on a farm, raising animals and working as a veterinarian. Coincidentally, one of Kylie's FFA Advisors, Amelia Hayden, was a previous guest on my show on episode #687 when she was an American Star Finalist. Between Kylie's fearless attitude and having mentorship like that, there is no telling where this will take her!
