Originally from Muscatine, Iowa, Dr. Jennifer Minick Bormann grew up showing Shorthorn cattle and riding horses in her spare time.  She earned a B.S. in Animal Science from Iowa State University in 1997.  From there she went to Oklahoma State University to earn her M.S. and then back to Iowa State University to complete a Ph.D. in 2004. 

Dr. Bormann specializes in Beef Cattle Breeding and Genetics and has worked on a number of projects including collaborations with the NCBA and the American Angus Association.  Currently she teaches Genetics, Animal Breeding Principles, Advanced Animal Breeding, Equine Genetics and Introductory Horse Lab, as well as advises undergraduate students.  She also is the head advisor for the KSU Pre-Vet Club.  She has a 75% Teaching and 25% Research appointment in the department.

Dr. Bormann's personal interest and love for showing horses has also allowed her to branch out into teaching some equine courses, including the introductory horse labs and an equine genetics course.

Dr. Bormann and her husband Dale reside south of Manhattan with their horses and dogs.
