If you're wondering who manages the website and social media accounts, Ashley is your girl. She's also responsible for the implementation of consumer education programs, including Build Your Base, expanding nutrition education, and is often the one found behind the camera at events making sure every important moment is captured.

Ashley has a bachelor's degree in Nutrition, plays tennis, and loves every cut of steak. If you can't find her, she's probably on the farm with her husband, traveling the world, or hanging out with her two little nieces.

If you're wondering who manages everything behind the scenes, Heather would be it. She's responsible for administrative, accounting, and bookkeeping responsibilities, including the collection compliance of the Beef Checkoff. If you call our office, she's likely the one you'll speak with first. 

Heather stays busy with her two children, a son who attends the University of Utah (Go Utes!), and a daughter who attends Orono High School. She loves any kind of outdoor recreation from hunting and fishing to boating and is an avid concert-goer. 

If you're talking policy, BQA and beef production, Kaitlyn is the one you want to connect with. Kaitlyn is responsible for coordination of our Beef Quality Assurance Program and oversees the Minnesota State Cattlemen's Association. She provides leadership to Minnesota State Cattlemen's Association members and manages trainings on best beef production practices.

Kaitlyn has a bachelor's degree in Agricultural Communication with a minor in Animal Science. She enjoys playing sports, hunting, and spending time on the lake fishing with her family.
