Salem Sifford

I grew up on my families Hereford cow-calf and purebred Holstein cattle operation in Snow Camp, North Carolina. I have grown up being heavily involved in the National Junior Hereford association as well as 4-H and FFA. I competed in livestock judging as part of the Virginia state team in 2021. I then continued to compete as part of the Virginia Tech livestock judging team and dairy judging team in 2023/2024. In 2025 I completed my Bachelors in Dairy Science at Virginia Tech. I am now pursuing my master's degree with a focus in beef cattle extension.
