Kassidy Oliger, Hagerstown, IN


Hello!  My name is Kassidy Oliger and I live in Hagerstown, IN. Throughout my time as a National Brown Swiss Association Junior Member I have participated in a variety of activities. I have exhibited at the North American International Livestock Exposition numerous times, the World Dairy Expo, the Brown Swiss National Convention, and other local shows. I also have been serving as the Indiana Brown Swiss Queen for the past two years to be an ambassador for our breed. Beyond simply participating in Brown Swiss activities, I have been an active member of the dairy industry as a whole. I was a member of the Indiana 4-H Dairy Youth Academy, attended the National 4-H Dairy Conference, and currently serve as the Wayne County Livestock Ambassador for the dairy barn. Looking into the future I plan to attend Purdue University to major in Agribusiness. Upon graduation I plan to get a career and be involved in the dairy industry by raising a Brown Swiss Herd of my own. My hobbies include reading, photography, playing sports, painting, and raising and showing cows.

We raise Brown Swiss, Ayrshires, Holsteins and Jerseys, as well as exhibition poultry. I enjoy showing and fitting dairy cattle, and have been showing and breeding Brown Swiss for ten years. In addition to showing and fitting cows, I enjoy playing basketball and baseball.
