After that we moved to Texas for a year and then to Oklahoma where my dad managed Braum's dairy in Tuttle Oklahoma. I worked nights in the parlors which were 4 double fifteen herringbones. After high school I moved to Florida for two years and worked on the gen farm dairies and also worked for The University of Florida research farm. After that I transferred to finish my education to Oklahoma State University where I graduated with an ag education degree. After school I then started a career in the feedlot industry for a few years and then was a cowboy on a large commercial cow\calf ranch. left there and took a path back to the dairy industry(which is a lengthy one with stopping in many parts of the U.S) and that path has led me here to Wisconsin.
