Paige Schmidt is one of ten beef industry advocates called Trailblazers, using social media to advocate for the beef industry. Schmidt started sharing her story while getting her undergraduate degree in North Dakota. “Wow, we’re in Rural America and there’s so many people that have so many questions about cattle production and how we get beef to their plate.” Schmidt is from south-central North Dakota and is now a veterinary student at Kansas State University. As her time wraps up as a representative of the Beef Checkoff through the Trailblazer program, Schmidt plans to continue to share her story. “I would like to use this advocacy training in my future career to help consumers learn more about our animal protocols and what we do to have healthy cattle.”
