Cousins JordynBre Schulze and Kady Schulze are this year’s Pipestone County Dairy Ambassadors.
JordynBre, 13, is an eighth grader at Pipestone Area Schools and one of three children of Dean and Kristina Schulze. Kady, 12, is a seventh grader at Russell Tyler Ruthton and one of five children of Devin and Becca Schulze. They both live on farms near Holland, but on opposite sides. JordynBre said her family has horses, chickens and cats at their farm. Kady said her family has pigs and chickens, and her dad and uncle have a dairy.
Becca, who serves as the Pipestone County Dairy Ambassador coordinator, said ambassadors and princesses don’t necessarily have to have a dairy farm, but can qualify if they show dairy cattle at the fair, which they both do, or work on a dairy.
JordynBre was previously a Pipestone County Dairy Ambassador last year and this is Kady’s first year as an ambassador. Kady said she was interested in the title because she wanted to help people learn more about the dairy industry.
“I always thought that people don’t really know much about it, so I thought it would be fun if I became a dairy ambassador and helped teach people about the dairy industry,” she said.
The cousins will be doing plenty of that this summer. Their schedule, so far, includes appearances at the Water Tower Festival parade in Pipestone on June 28, Ruthton’s Fourth of July parade, the Dutch Festival parade in Edgerton on July 11, the Aebleskiver Days parade in Tyler on July 26 and the Pipestone County Fair in August.
Dairy ambassadors are similar to dairy princesses in that they promote the dairy industry, but they are younger and can’t compete to become Princess Kay of the Milky Way. Both Kady and JordynBre said they are interested in becoming dairy princesses in the future.
