In his rising career within the equine and agriculture industry, Jason Simmons has quickly established himself as a dedicated and skilled professional. Graduating with honors from Lamar Community College with a degree in Agriculture Business Management, Jason has built a strong foundation in the industry and continues to expand his expertise through ongoing education. His academic achievements include excelling in courses such as Artificial Insemination, Animal and Carcass Evaluation, Agricultural Mechanics, Feeds and Feeding, and Welding.

This certification demonstrates his commitment to mastering animal breeding and reproductive health, and it enhances his ability to manage breeding programs with efficiency and precision.

Jason’s learning doesn’t stop in the classroom. He has interned at a renowned horse and cattle ranch, where he gained hands-on experience in ranch management and livestock care.

Jason’s involvement with horses and cattle began at an early age. By nine years old, he was competing in National Cutting Horse Association events, where he earned accolades and financial earnings. His competitive spirit carried over into his college years as a team roper for Lamar Community College’s Rodeo Team. Beyond competing, Jason also trains his own horses for cutting, roping, and ranch-related events. Looking ahead, Jason envisions a future in ranching, where he will raise cattle and continue training horses, solidifying his lifelong passion and commitment to the western heritage.
