Agriculture Secretary Thomas J. Vilsack today announced 29 appointments to the Cattlemen's Beef Promotion and Research Board. All appointees will serve 3-year terms.


"These appointees represent a cross section of the beef industry and I am confident that beef producers and importers of cattle, beef and beef products will be well served by them," said Vilsack.


There are two new appointees that will represent Oklahoma- Terry L Wyatt of Hollister in Tillman County and Barbara Jacques of Shidler in Osage County. Jacques is a Past President of the Oklahoma Cattle Women- serving in that post from 2007 to 2009.


These two ranch ladies are taking the seats from retiring board members Bob Drake of Davis and Andrea Hutchison of Canton.

Childs, Fla.; Kimberly Brackett, Idaho; Stacy M. McClintock and Perry L. Owens, Kan.; Daniel C. Smith, Ky.; Leon Kreisler, Mo.; Lyle V. Peterson and Linda M. Nielsen, Mont.; Douglas A.

Newly appointed members representing importers are: Andrew N. Burtt, Va.; Stephen K. Edwards, Va.; Cristobal J. Hutton, Ill.; and Joakim A. Holzner, Colo.


The board oversees the collection of $1-per-head on all cattle sold in the United States, and $1-per-head equivalent on imported cattle, beef and beef products. In addition, the board contracts with established national, non-profit, industry-governed organizations to implement programs of promotion, research, consumer information, industry information, foreign marketing and producer communications.
