Brooke Foote
I am Brooke Foote and I am one of the 2025 New York State Junior Brown Swiss Ambassadors. I have been involved in the New York State Junior Brown Swiss Association for 8 years, and I reside on my family farm, Glamour-Ridge in Dolgeville, New York. I am 14 years old and am currently a freshman at OESJ Central School. I am an active member of Mohawk Valley FFA, Fulton-Montgomery County 4-H, and Fulton County Dairy Promotions. When I am not busy with my Brown Swiss, I enjoy spending time riding and showing off my track thoroughbred horse, Biscuit. I am an active member of the United States Hunter Jumper Association as well as the US Equestrian Federation. I have been part of the Brown Swiss breed from a young age as my parents have shared their love of the breed with me. I enjoy showing my Brown Swiss at local, state, and national shows. My favorite Brown Swiss activity is showing at World Dairy Expo, where I get to see and talk with many dairy enthusiasts.
