Emily Nielsen is a Wyoming native born and raised in Lander. Although she has no cattle of her own (yet) she grew up helping on her brothers cattle operations in Thermopolis as well as the operations of many friends and family.

Emily attended Casper College earning her AS in both Ag Business and Animal Science before moving to the University of Wyoming to earn her BA in Ag Business with a focus on Livestock Business Management. Growing up in 4-H and FFA she found her passion for agriculture early on in life and her love of all things cattle.

Emily and her husband Carter have lived in Buffalo since 2017 and are avid hunters and outdoorsmen. They welcomed their daughter Maeley in March of 2023.

​

Her favorite part about agriculture is;  "It's everywhere, even when you don't realize it. I love being able to talk to people about all things ag and to educate non-agriculturists about why it is so important to local communities and the world. Especially in this day and age. Plus I just stinkin' love cows!"
