New Extension Educator
Hello! I’m Barry Weber, the new, as of December, Livestock Systems Extension Educator for Nemaha, Richardson, Johnson, Pawnee, Gage, Jefferson, and Saline counties. I grew up outside of Friend on a farm with crops and cattle before I attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to study Animal Science. I returned to UNL to complete a master’s degree in Ruminant Nutrition. After working with a few different companies and having traveled around the country visiting all types of cattle operations, I’m happy to have landed back in southeast Nebraska.
