Hi everyone! My name is Lynnzae Van Wyk. I am 16 years old, and I live in St. James, MN, where my family and I raise and show Boer goats. I have been involved in the Boer goat industry for over 11 years. Over this time, I've had the opportunity to raise and show registered Boer goats while building lifelong friendships and developing leadership skills through JABGA.

Outside of showing, I enjoy mentoring younger exhibitors and staying involved in school as Class President, a National Honor Society member, and Student Council member. I am excited to represent Area 2 and look forward to connecting with members, promoting youth involvement, and helping make our association even stronger.
