I have been busy traveling the country over the past five weeks, and my last stop on the tour was to Lanesboro, MN for the 2010 Fillmore County Cattlemen’s Banquet. What a beautiful spot in the world! I truly enjoyed my stay in the quaint little town, and I was excited that my dear friend Carol Abrahamzon was able to attend the meeting to listen to me speak.

Abrahamzon is the Project Manager for the National Beef Ambassador Program, and I got to know her when I served on the 2006 team. This year’s Beef Team has a fantastic blog that they post on nearly every day. I encourage you all to check it out and leave your comments of support, questions and ideas for future promotions.

This group is dedicated to promoting the American beef cattle industry through educational efforts in consumer events and through social media. These five young people are truly the future leaders of this industry. Kudos to them and their wonderful leader, Carol!
