Samantha Whitaker is another young cattle farmer in Floyd County.  In addition to farming, she is a full-time student at Morehead State University who will graduate with a Veterinary Science degree in May 2018.  She also works part-time at a veterinary clinic.  With the $7,500 SOAR Farm Loan, Ms. Whitaker will purchase 5 cow/calf pairs who have already been bred back.  Her plan is to build the herd, keeping the cows and selling some of the calves.
