Abby Dunn shares her experience running an entrepreneurial cattle operation as her SAE project, which she started at age 11 to fund her college education. Through raising and selling calves to younger 4-H and FFA members, she has developed valuable skills including artificial insemination and pregnancy checking while learning critical lessons about work ethic and perseverance, particularly when facing challenges like genetic disorders in her herd. She credits her parents, agricultural advisor, and mentors in her community for their support and emphasizes the importance of pursuing an SAE based on genuine passion.
