The University of Wyoming Extension welcomes Tallie Miller as the new 4-H youth development educator serving Niobrara County.
Miller received her bachelor’s degree from UW in 2026. She double-majored in agricultural communications and animal and veterinary science with a concentration in production.
Most recently, she worked as a livestock intern at the Black Hills Stock Show and Rodeo in Rapid City, South Dakota. In this fast-paced environment, she processed event registration and results and communicated with exhibitors, including youth, to help the event run smoothly. Since 2017, she has also worked seasonally as a ranch hand at Bar JL Livestock in Lusk.
Miller has been a part of Wyoming 4-H for 12 years. As a youth, Miller was a member of Converse and Niobrara County 4-H, focusing on livestock, photography and nutrition projects. She received awards at the Wyoming State Fair for market swine and steers.
Between 2023 and 2024, she worked as a 4-H extension intern at the Niobrara County office. She helped plan events and programming, including county fairs; coordinated with community donors; and advertised Niobrara County Extension events through social media and newsletters.
“I think it is incredibly important for kids, no matter their background, to learn about agriculture and develop leadership and life skills through programs like 4-H,” says Miller. “This position felt like the perfect opportunity to combine my passion for agriculture, youth development and community involvement.”
Miller started her new role with UW Extension Monday, June 1. She can be reached at tmille86@uwyo.edu.
