Madison Reis Madison Reis currently serves as the President for the Junior American Boer Goat Association (JABGA). She is a sophomore at Oklahoma State University and plans on majoring in Animal Science: Pre-Vet and pursue reproduction within the livestock industry. Reis spent much of her childhood entrenched in agriculture and showing alongside her grandparents in California. When her grandfather moved into the goat industry shortly before her birth, it was only natural that Reis would take up breeding, raising, and showing registered Boer goats when the time came. In addition to goats, Reis has also shown beef cattle in 4-H. Outside of showing, Reis served as President of her local 4-H club. She has also served one term as the Vice President and Reporter of JABGA. She enjoys spending her free time outdoors, at concerts, or making Dutch Bros runs! Reis plans to study pre-veterinary medicine, specializing in large animals, to learn more about genetics, artificial insemination, and embryo flushing. As President, Reis is excited to help JABGA build more benefits for its members, and to continue creating a welcoming and invested organization for current and future members.
