Tyler Sanders of the Wanette FFA Chapter in Wanette, Oklahoma, began raising Boer goats by keeping his show does after they had completed their showing careers. Eventually, he started incorporating superior genetics into the herd. Currently, he’s completing a feasibility study of the marketability of goat jerky, goat meat sticks, goat soap and goat cheeses in his area. Sanders is supported by his parents Jan and Robbie and his FFA advisor Justin Boone. This award is sponsored by Purina Animal Nutrition LLC and Tractor Supply Company.
