Janssen Completes Red Angus Internship
The Red Angus Association of America (RAAA) was fortunate to have an outstanding intern, Sydney Janssen, on staff this spring. Sydney’s parents, Jack and Roxie Janssen, operate Janssen Red Angus, a family farm and ranch north of Geneseo, Kansas.
In high school, Sydney was involved in FFA and 4-H, and ran Cross Country. She participated in many Red Angus activities. She was the founding Vice President of the Kansas Junior Red Angus Association, was a participant in the Stockgrower’s Contest in Denver in 2001, and continues to help with many junior activities for the Kansas Red Angus Association. Sydney also attended the first Red Angus Young Guns Conference this past summer in Denton, Texas.
Sydney’s primary focus for her internship was with the Marketing department at RAAA and was invaluable on several fronts. Her first order of business was assisting with the RAAA’s annual Brain Trust meeting held in conjunction with the National Western Stock Show in Denver, Colorado. She also was responsible for enrolling new and existing customers in the Red Angus Feeder Calf Certification Program (FCCP). Sydney was instrumental in helping producers understand the changes to the enrollment process in this 13 year-old Process Verified Program which now verifies genetics, source to the ranch of origin and group age.
Sydney is involved in Block and Bridle as well as Collegiate Cattlewomen and is currently a sophomore Agriculture Economics student at Kansas State University.
