Welcome to the Team Jefferson Keller

Hailing from the Cornhusker State is our newest territory sales manager for our Nebraska and South Dakota territory, Jefferson Keller. Growing up, Jefferson was heavily involved in 4-H and FFA; showing livestock in youth shows helped him build his Hereford herd, which he maintains today. He received his bachelor’s degree in animal science from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where he was a member of the livestock judging team. He went on to coach the team for three years and has most recently served as a feed sales specialist at a cooperative.

Jefferson lives in his hometown of St. Paul, Nebraska, with his parents and girlfriend and enjoys helping juniors succeed in the cattle show ring and grow as individuals. You can also often find him cheering on the Huskers and even the Cyclones (he calls himself an adopted Cyclone fan). Jefferson looks forward to setting the bar higher for those in his territory by finding the right solutions for their businesses.
