Governor Mead appoints Beef Council Members

Governor Matt Mead recently appointed JW Rankin of Shawnee, and reappointed Lynn George of Cody, to the Wyoming Beef Council.  Rankin replaces Tom Wright of Newcastle.  George is serving a second three-year term.

 The Wyoming Beef Council (WBC) is a five-member board of beef producers appointed by the governor to increase demand for beef through promotion, education, and research. Three members of the board are producers of range cattle, one is a dairy farmer, and one represents the feeder sector of the cattle industry.  Rankin is a producer of range cattle, the George family owns and operates a dairy. 

New board member terms run from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2021.
