Jeff Sherfield - Owner, Fescue Farms Angus

Angus Boot Camp September 2007 at the American Angus Association

Hello Everyone:

I am a 36 year educator.  I hold a BS and MS in Agriculture Education from Purdue University as well as administrative certification from Indiana State University.  I taught 15 years of vocational agriculture in the small community of Montgomery, Indiana, 7 years as a school administrator, and 14 years teaching agriculture and computer technology in a middle school.   I currently teach ALS-Food Science at Owen Valley High School and Agriculture Fundamentals at Owen Valley Middle School

My daughter helps manage the Angus herd and developing a strong breeding program, (A.I. work, and embryo transfer) was essential.  Quite honestly, she knows more about the cattle operation than I.  I'm just the cheap labor, she keeps track of the cows, calves, and my mess ups!   She now attends Ivy Tech.  My son works works on the farm moving hay and doing chores.  The opportunities we have had showing cattle have been very rewarding and without the help of several Angus Breeders both in Indiana and throughout the country it would not have been possible.  To those of you we give you a special thanks.
