The Idaho-Lewis County Cattle Association is one of the largest local organizations of cattle producers in the state of Idaho, including membership from Idaho and Lewis Counties. This association is dedicated to furthering the best interests of the Beef Industry and to correlate those interests with those of our local communities and our state.
The 2011 annual meeting was held at the Kamiah Legion Hall on October 15th. The highlight of the night is dinner, dancing and give-aways—but business must be attended to first. Ken Forsmann, as our ICA representative gave a report on meetings he attended during the year. Shay Nesbit of the Idaho Beef Council made a presentation on the beef checkoff dollars and how they are spent. New directors were voted in as well. Cindy Dahler moved from Vice President to President. Taking the Vice President spot was Frank McIntire. As Frank was already a director, that left an opening which was filled by Rikki Simler with his short term expiring in 2013. Scott Scribner and Margie Wright renewed their terms, while Mart Thompson stepped down at the end of his. Tim Kinzer has taken that position, with his term expiring in 2014. Jim Church awarded certificates for the Steer of the Year to Casey Danley and Shantel Lowe.
I asked Cindy Dahler for a brief bio so we could get to know our new president a bit. Cindy and her husband Kim live on Battle Ridge and operate a farm and ranch with their son Kevin. Their cow/calf herd of about 100 crossbred cattle roam about 2500 acres of owned and leased land. Their farming consists of hay, oats, wheat and barley. Cindy works part-time in the office at CV Jr./Sr. High School.
Thank you Cindy for stepping up to lead our organization for the next two years.
