Faculty Spotlight: Brianna Buseman Friday, April 30, 2021
About Me
I grew up on a farm near Canistota, SD, where my family raises Angus cattle. I was active on our farm growing up, and enjoyed showing breeding heifers and competing in livestock judging through 4-H. After high school, I went to South Dakota State University where I completed my B.S. in Animal Science and Agricultural Business. Following graduation, I went on to complete my M.S. in Animal Science with a Meat Science focus at University of Idaho. I joined faculty at UNL in June 2020 (very thankful to be back in the Midwest!). I've really enjoyed being able to get involved in the university through teaching, coaching meats judging, and a variety of extension activities.
