Vancura loves showing beef cattle
Renae Vancura loves showing beef cattle as much as the FFA and 4-H organizations that allow her to do so.
Vancura, of rural Lakefield, has been showing beef cattle nearly her entire life, and has enjoyed much success over the years. She is the reigning Jackson County 4-H champion senior beef showman.
Vancura is a member of the Enterprise Earners 4-H Club and the Jackson County Central FFA Chapter. But her involvement in the organizations reaches beyond showing beef cattle. She currently serves as president of both her 4-H club and FFA chapter.
In FFA, she is also involved in the parliamentary procedure, agricultural sales and employment skills leadership development events. During state-level competition at the just-concluded Minnesota State FFA Convention, Vancura helped lead her agricultural sales team to a second-place overall and gold-ranked finish.
A senior at JCC High School in Jackson, Vancura plans to pursue studies in agriculture upon her graduation later this month.
“I have always wanted a career in agriculture,” she said, adding she plans to attend Iowa State University in Ames in the fall to study animal science and agricultural communications. “I hope to give back to the agriculture industry that has provided me with so many opportunities.”
