Meghan Edwards

Meghan Edwards is from Brookfield, Missouri, where she grew up on a row crop and cattle production farm. She began showing cattle at 13, and livestock has remained one of her biggest passions ever since.

Throughout high school, Meghan was heavily involved in FFA and livestock judging before continuing her judging career at the collegiate level. She later transferred to Northwest Missouri State University, where she graduated two years early with a bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Sciences.

Much of Meghan’s life still revolves around the livestock industry, especially showing and raising show cattle. When she isn’t in the barn, you’ll most likely find her spending time with friends and family or traveling and going on fun vacations with her mom. She is excited to use her experiences to connect with and help others in the livestock industry.

Success Doesn’t Always Come From Winning

Success isn’t always measured by banners, buckles, or wins. She reflects on her final State Fair as an exhibitor and the lessons she’s learned along the way. From finding her people and asking for help to becoming someone who now stands ringside supporting others, she shares why the relationships, memories, and growth can mean more than any award.
