Emma Howe

My name is Emma Elise Howe, the oldest daughter to Neal and Raelynn Howe. I was born April 12, 2006 and grew up on our family ranch in Buffalo, with my two younger sisters, Rylee and Jade, and my brother, Waylon.

Growing up, some of my best memories came from working with cattle and all the yelling and mixed hand signals my dad has given me. Throughout my years I have played many sports and activities; 4H, hunting, farming and spending time with family and friends at rodeos and other events. However, basketball was the one I have stuck with, thanks to my many great coaches. I started my education journey at Jenner, where I attended kindergarten to grade 9, and then transferred to South Central High for my senior years. Being raised in a rural area that is surrounded by cattle, pivots and heavy duty equipment, has inspired me to bring those experiences with me to post secondary. In the fall of 2024, I will attend Lakeland College in Vermillion to take my major in Animal Technology Livestock Science.  My future goals are to own my own business and be a cattle/livestock nutritionist, as well as continue on with the tradition of our family cattle ranch. I would love to thank my family and friends, along with my teachers and coaches for helping and guiding me along my journey.
