Cave started Jan. 2.
“Brandon is an excellent fit for the Kent County agriculture position,” Dabovich said. “He is native to that area and brings experience with his ag background. He will be a benefit to the youth programs as well.”
A native of Rotan, Cave earned his bachelor’s degree from West Texas A&M University in Canyon.
Cave said his background is deeply rooted in agriculture, being raised on the family’s cattle and cotton operation in Fisher and Kent counties. Most recently, he worked for Kiker Cattle Co. in Rotan. Additionally, he spent many years raising livestock projects in FFA and 4-H, and judged livestock throughout high school.
“I believe I can use my experience to be effective at aiding farmers and ranchers with their operations and to help the youth with their livestock and other projects in the 4-H program,” he said.
