Just a warning that this will be a longer post just so I can get everything out there that you may need/want to know.
Hello my name is Derek Vogt. I live in Cairo, NE. Was born and raised in Boelus, NE (population 200). I am a 21 year old Agribusiness major at the University of Nebraska-Kearney. I am blessed to be able to be apart of many different things in the great world of Ag. I would not be where I am at if it weren't for the help of my brother in-law Rick Schultz. Rick got me started into agriculture by showing sheep at the age of 8 and moving up to cattle by the age of 10. The rest as they say is history. Rick has a very successful show cattle operation, Rick Schultz Show Cattle, in Cairo, NE. I am proud to be apart of it and that is what takes up most of my spare time. There is nothing I enjoy more then getting home from class and heading out to the farm to work on calves and just free my mind.
I recently started a cattle photography and videography business. I enjoy being able to go around and view other peoples cattle. As well as getting them displayed and promoted in a way that will help them succed with their sales. I am also very thankful and gracious to Mr. Matt Lautner. He has given me the opportunity to make him Weekend Wrapup videos for his blog. They are a great recap for the success that his bulls have over the weekend in a nice condensed package.
In the Summer when not too busy with cattle or school, I work with Rick on his Agronomy business. We run a big and busy schedule between the two of us. We look at everything and answer any question that the farmers may have. It is a great job that I thoroughly enjoy.
I am also very lucky to have a great and beautiful girlfriend Michelle. She has to put up with my long hours, and lots of miles of traveling. And thankfully she has stuck around!
That is a quick insight into what I take part in! Hope to keep you entertained and maybe teach you a thing or two. Thanks for stopping by!
