Many of you may recognize this smiling face from various shows throughout the years, as her outgoing, bright personality always shines bright at the Sullivan Supply trailer. Always eager to assist the customers and answer any questions regarding products, recommendations and questions for their projects. National Sales Representative A.J. Hornback has been apart of the Sullivan Supply family for over 2 years, and we are more than grateful to have her hard work and bright personality on our team.
A.J. Hornback resides from Belle Union, Indiana, grew up showing cattle, sheep and swine. Growing up, A. J. had the opportunity to grow great family friends with Martin Livestock and work hand in hand with them daily on their extremely successful cow/calf operation. After high school, A.J. attended Northern Oklahoma College where she received her Associates in Agricultural Sciences. She then went on to attend Oklahoma State University where she was a member of the livestock judging team in 2019. After receiving her Bachelors in Animal Science with a Production Option, she began her career at Sullivan Supply in Dunlap, Iowa where she serves as a National Sales Representative. A.J. has judged several showmanship contests across the state of Indiana and hopes to continue to give back to this industry that has given so much to her.
With many days on the road and several different states, A.J. took the opportunity to be apart of Sullivan Supply, striving to give back to the industry and ultimately make a difference in showman’s lives. Growing up with a brother who is autistic, it opened A.J.’s eyes within the livestock industry. With pursuits to one day offer shows and clinics for children with special needs, allowing anyone equal opportunity that she was thankfully offered growing up. A.J. found that Sullivan Supply is a perfect opportunity to grow her knowledge through all different faucets of the livestock industry and build connections that will allow her to accomplish her goals.
While there are several moments and aspects of A.J.’s job she will always highlight and look back on, her favorite part of being a National Sales Representative is networking with customers and friends that soon became family. Building a connection with families and showmen across the barns is an impact A.J. alway strives to accomplish. A.J. also enjoys the times she works with Stock Show U Manager, Tess Mittag, being a professor at several hog clinics, allowing A.J. to continuously work with people across the industry, giving back to the next generation.
Sullivan Supply is grateful to have A.J. Hornback as a part of the family, representing the qualities Sullivan Supply strives to highlight. If you see A.J. at the Sullivan Supply trailer or across the barns, make sure to stop by and say hi!
