Hi All!
I am excited to e-meet you all and to be involved with this community (Thank you to Nick at BOTL Farm for getting this off the ground)!
My name is MacKenzie White and I have been involved with agriculture in some way, shape, or form since birth. Growing up on a small farm in southern Maine is where the passion and interest for livestock and production agriculture started.
Currently, I am located in the Quiet Corner of Eastern Connecticut with my fiance and our growing family. Along with our extended family we own a mixed herd of registered and commercial beef cows. We also cut about 200 acres of hay for both feed for our animals and a few local customers.
In November 1st, I joined UConn Extension as the Diversified Livestock Extension Field Based Specialist. My fairly new role with UConn Extension involves planning, implementing, and evaluating impactful extension programs primarily related to commercial livestock production. Livestock species include but are not limited to beef, sheep, swine and goats.
I am looking forward to connecting with you all!
