"On the Profile"
On the Profile is an effort to get to know those that went through livestock judging programs across the country. Host and creator, Jason Duggin, went from Manchester, TN to Connor's State College and Oklahoma State all because of a couple of dedicated 4-H agents and a chance encounter with a guy named Pete Dempsey. This program seeks to highlight similar stories from across the country. It also seeks to promote the benefits of youth and collegiate livestock judging everywhere while building networks and connections.
