Join us as we introduce MBFI's 2024 Summer Students!

Briel Lemoing is from a grain farm near Basswood, Manitoba.  She is entering her second year of a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture with a major in Animal

Science at the University of Saskatchewan.  She plans on pursuing a career in cattle genetics and hopes to eventually return to her home farm and working cattle into their operation. 

Megan Harris grew up in Brandon, Manitoba and is entering her fourth and final year of her Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Sciences at Brandon University.  This is her second summer as an employee for MBFI.  During her summers working at MBFI Megan has learned a ton of new knowledge and skills relevant to the beef cattle industry and rangeland management.  Going forward Megan hopes to continue and expand her skills and knowledge to make positive impacts throughout her future career and life.

Sydney Creasy grew up on a large cattle ranch near Coronation AB. From a young age she has been helping on the ranch, she enjoys all aspects of the cattle business. This fall, Sydney will be going into her second year at the University of Saskatchewan taking Animal Science. She is hoping to become a livestock nutritionist or a career in the agriculture industry. 

If you are interested in being a summer student at MBFI for future years, or know a student who might be interested, please watch for the annual advertisement for available positions.  As an MBFI Summer Student, you are sure to gain hands-on experience in both the cattle and crop industries.  

The ability to hire these summer students has been made possible through the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership.

The research programs and daily operations at MBFI would not be possible without the funding from the Province of Manitoba, Government of Canada, and Canadian Agricultural Partnership, as well as the partnership with Manitoba Agriculture, Manitoba Beef Producers (MBP) and Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC).
