Let’s meet a Nebraska ag student who has turned his passion for Texas Longhorn cattle into a full-on business at only 19 years old. The young entrepreneur has already managed to scale up his operation on an international scale and will soon travel to Africa to teach others about raising cattle.
Keir Albert of Albert Acres Cattle Company joined us on Monday’s Market Day Report to share his journey into agriculture, his love for Longhorns, and the reason behind his upcoming trip to Africa.
In an interview with RFD-TV’s own Tammi Arender, Albert explains how he started raising a few Angus cattle but eventually discovered his passion for Texas Longhorns. He also discusses his inspiration for starting his cattle operation, as well as a look ahead to his trip to Kenya to promote the breed.
Finally, Albert shares more about his future business goals and his online agriculture education through the Nelson Academy of Ag Sciences, so that other aspiring farmers and ranchers can take their careers to the next level.
