Brianna Meyer of Chilton has been selected as the 2025 Raymond LeBlanc Memorial Scholarship recipient.
She was recognized during the 2025 National Holstein Convention in St. Louis. The scholarship was established this year to honor Raymond LeBlanc and his significant contributions to Registered Holstein merchandising and sales.
“As I reflect on my final year as a Junior member of the Holstein Association, I am grateful for everything I have gained – confidence in myself, a deeper understanding of the dairy industry, teamwork and problem-solving skills, and a network of incredible friends and mentors,” says Brianna Meyer. “These experiences have shaped my leadership and contributed to the person I am today.”
Brianna is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in dairy science at UW-Madison and has been admitted into their School of Veterinary Medicine. She will study abroad next fall at Wageningen University in the Netherlands.
She has served on Holstein Association USA’s Junior Advisory Committee and has been very involved in Holstein youth programs at the national, state, and county level. While at college, she has held leadership roles with Badger Dairy Club, Association of Women in Agriculture, and UW-Madison dairy judging team.
Brianna interned at Siemers Holsteins in Wisconsin last summer. This summer, she’s interning with Riverview LLC in Arizona. Her career goal is to become a trusted practicing veterinarian while staying involved in her family’s dairy farming operation.
“Raymond would be proud to have such an outstanding individual win this scholarship in his memory,” says Dave Rama, one of the founders and visionaries of this scholarship fund.
The Raymond LeBlanc Scholarship fund is administered by the Holstein Foundation, awarded by Holstein Association USA, and supported by many generous donors honoring LeBlanc’s legacy.
