LINCOLN, Neb. – The American Gelbvieh Association (AGA) is excited to welcome two academic year interns: Kirsten Heselmeyer, AGA communications intern, and Gentry Warner, AGA visual content intern.

“It is truly an honor to get the opportunity to work with such accomplished young ladies as they use their talents to expand the Gelbvieh and Balancer® message to the greater beef industry. Their skillsets are incredible and will truly advance the communication efforts of the AGA,” said Megan Underwood, AGA communications coordinator.

Kirsten Heselmeyer – AGA Communications Intern

Heselmeyer will assist the AGA communications department through video creation, writing editorial content for Gelbvieh World and The Profit Picture, and member communication efforts.

Heselmeyer is from Taylor, Texas, where she grew up showing cattle and judging livestock. She is currently a senior at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, majoring in Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communications with a minor in Animal Science, where she is also a member of the livestock judging team.

“I have always been passionate about serving cattle producers, and I feel truly blessed to have the opportunity to do that through my work with the AGA,” said Heselmeyer. “The staff at the AGA is truly world-class. Their support of my growth has been such a blessing, and I deeply admire the way they serve members while constantly striving to provide the best experiences and resources possible.”

Gentry Warner – AGA Visual Content Intern

Warner will be expanding the photo library for the AGA communications department throughout the year for images to be used in Gelbvieh World, The Profit Picture, national advertising, and digital communications.

Warner was raised on a Gelbvieh and Balancer ranch in southwestern Nebraska. She is a junior at Kansas State University studying Agricultural Communications and Journalism. Additionally, she currently serves as the American Gelbvieh Junior Association (AGJA) President.

“I am very honored to have the opportunity to be the AGA visual content intern this year. Photography is something I am very passionate about, so being able to capture media for an industry and breed I care so much about is truly exciting. I look forward to the next year with the AGA team,” said Warner.

Heselmeyer and Warner both began their internships at the beginning of the academic year and will continue through the end of their spring semesters.

The American Gelbvieh Association is a progressive beef cattle breed association representing 1,100 members and approximately 40,000 cows assessed annually in a performance-oriented total herd reporting system.
