Welcome to the Beef Cattle Connection! Your editor is Brittany Zaunbrecher, ANR Agent for Beef Cattle and Forages covering the parishes of St. Landry, Avoyelles, Evangeline, and Allen. I transitioned to this role mid-August of 2023 after working in 4-H Youth Development in Cameron Parish since March 2014.
I grew up raising and showing Simmental Cattle in Donaldsonville, LA in 4-H and across the country. My family had and still has a small seedstock operation. I attended Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge and studied Agricultural Business with a concentration in Management. I was active in the Block and Bridle Club and a member of the livestock judging team. Since working for the LSU AgCenter, I earned my master’s degree in Agricultural and Extension Education and Evaluation (AEEE) from Louisiana State University.
I’ve consistently helped at livestock shows, including the State Fair of Louisiana, SW District Livestock Show, and LSU AgCenter State Livestock Show. I am excited to share my passion for the beef cattle industry here in the central region of the state. Feel free to reach out to me by email at bzaunbrecher@agcenter.lsu.edu.
