We’re always excited at Moreno Ranches to work with our new interns. Yolibeth comes to us from Honduras, where she is studying at the Pan American Agricultural School, Zamorano. She brings a passion to the Brahman Cattle industry, and we’re excited to have her work here at Moreno Ranches as we showcase our superior genetics technology for Brahman cattle.
Yolibeth Munguia Vasquez
My name is Yolibeth Munguia Vasquez. I was born in Miami Fl., but raised in a little town called Cuyamel, which is located in the north coast of Honduras. I consider myself a serious person with a great spirit for overcoming, a hard worker, I am friendly, with the capacity to help others when needed. In my free time, I like to ride horses, go shooting, running and hang out with my friends. I have a very united family and I love to spend time with them. I come from a big family which is involved in farming. I am the eldest of four children. I grew up in a place where farming is the principal economic engineer. My grandfather used to take me to his ranch, same as my father, and that is where my passion for Brahman cattle came from. Livestock has also increased in the last years, becoming one of the biggest industries, and those are the reasons why I am very interested in learning more about this field. Currently, I am studying at the Pan American Agricultural School, Zamorano, in Honduras, completing my senior year to get my undergraduate degree in Agricultural Engineering.
Learning by doing is our university’s philosophy. At the university, we work in different fields of agriculture, but I am focused on livestock. I am currently an intern at Moreno Ranches in Venus, Florida, which has the most technological advancements in the field, focusing on Brahman genetics including the superior breeding of Brahman cattle. Moreno Ranches offered me the opportunity to join their team so that I can learn about elite seed stock genetics for Brahman cattle, cattle nutrition, and reproduction, as well as cattle management software. I am looking forward to this experience and the knowledge I will acquire toward reaching my future goals in the cattle industry.
I am very excited to learn more about Brahman cattle and the Brahman cattle industry here in Florida!
