Reserve Champion Steer – Jake Hayman – La Porte Jr. FFA – 6th Grade

My name is Jake Hayman I am in 6th Grade at Baker Junior High School. This is my 7th year of exhibiting at the La Porte Livestock Show, and I have been fortunate enough to earn multiple auction spots in many species. The proceeds I receive are used to purchase the next projects to continue my showing journey with cattle. When I first started showing animals, my older brother had already been showing cattle and he inspired me to start showing them. I hadn't really thought about what I wanted to become when I get older but, by being a member of La Porte Junior FFA these past few years, I have developed a passion to further my education in agriculture and get a Business Degree so I can Sell Mineral for cattle. As I work towards my new goal, I will continue to raise and exhibit cattle, but for now I'll begin setting some of my auction proceeds aside so I can attend Texas A&M University to further my education for this career path.
