Kade Sweeney is the son of Ryan and Dene' Sweeney of Perkins, Oklahoma. He is a junior at Perkins-Tryon High School, where he is actively involved in FFA and agriculture. Kade and his family raise and exhibit registered Angus and Red Angus cattle through Sweeney Cattle Company. In addition, he owns and operates Kade's Kustom Fabrications, where he designs and fabricates custom livestock equipment.

Since attending his first NAJRAE show at six years old, Kade has developed lifelong friendships, unforgettable memories, and a passion for the livestock industry. His greatest love is the people and relationships that make the industry special.
As a Junior Board member, Kade hopes to give back by encouraging younger exhibitors and helping create the same opportunities, friendships, and memories for the next generation.
