LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 24, 2001 — Jessica Gatton, daughter of William and Veronica Gatton of Crane, Mo., recently was awarded a $1,000 scholarship by the KABA/Select Sires Inc. board of directors.

This fall Jessica will be enrolled at Crowder University in Neosho, Mo., as a freshman majoring in dairy science with a minor in agribusiness.

Jessica is heavily involved in the Holstein, Ayrshire and Jersey breeds, owning and showing cows from each breed. Jessica was selected from candidates from across the state of Missouri.

After graduation Jessica plans to return to the family dairy farm. KABA/Select Sires Inc. awards two scholarships per year to deserving students in Missouri whose families are members of the KABA/Select Sires Inc. cooperative.
