Congratulations to Gage Swindler of the Braymer FFA Chapter – State Star Farmer! Swindler’s supervised agricultural experience includes managing diversified livestock, featuring beef, swine, and poultry operations. His beef project involves a registered Angus and Gelbvieh cow-calf herd, where he markets bulls and show heifers, sells feeder calves, and uses both artificial insemination and embryo transfer. His swine operation is a farrow-to-finish system utilizing Chester White and Berkshire genetics, with hogs sold as feeder pigs or butchered and marketed directly to consumers. His poultry operation includes laying hens and broilers, which he hatches, processes, and sells independently. After high school graduation, Swindler plans to attend the University of Missouri to pursue a degree in agribusiness management. Congratulations, Gage!
