Staff

The Iowa Beef Council staff proudly serves Iowa cattle farmers and ranchers through education, promotion and community engagement to demonstrate the value of the beef industry in Iowa. We also engage in activities that demonstrate that not only is beef delicious, but it's also a powerful ally in building healthy bodies, thriving communities and a strong economy for Iowa.
