30 NEBRASKA CATTLEMAN November 2024 2024 Nebraska Cattlemen Beef Pit MATTHEW MELCHOR | NC DIRECTOR OF STATE GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS To the Beef Pit bosses and volunteers, thank you for making my first experience at the Nebraska State Fair and the Nebraska Cattlemen Beef Pit one to remember. Having been barely three months into my time with Nebraska Cattlemen, I was sure to be overwhelmed with the importance and magnitude of what our beef sandwiches mean to Nebraska Cattlemen and state fair attendees. We were able to serve 15,451 Nebraskans and bring our total number of sandwiches served since 1984 to more than 597,000! To our volunteers, on behalf of the Beef Pit Committee, thank you for your hard work and your time serving meals at the state fair. Every person involved is imperative to the successful operation of the Nebraska Cattlemen Beef Pit. Thank you to the following groups and individuals who volunteered to work the Beef Pit during the 2024 State Fair: Dawson County Cattlemen Jon Montgomery Evan Peterson Paul Peterson Savannah Peterson Brandon Sorensen Chase Sorensen Megan Sorensen Rece Sorensen Colin Thompson Dodge County Cattlemen Joan Ruskamp Cory Schlueter Mike Schlueter Cody Weitzenkamp Don Witte Kelly Witte Exeter Feeders & Breeders Allen Bruntz Brody Kresak John Plock Blake Stangel Clifford Votipka Sandra Votipka Ross Weber Chris Woerner Harlan County Cattlemen’s Association Jacob Barwick Jenny Barwick Charles Hosier Clayton Hosier Juliann Hosier Sally Hosier Stacey Howsden Joel Wessels Pam Wessels Douglas Winz Nebraska Cattlemen Allied Industries Council Josh Fries Marshall Hansen Rebecca Kern-Lunberg Jake Pullen Felicia Schuster Cindy Simonson Jeremy Strong John Webster Austin Wolfemath Nebraska Cattlemen Region 6 Chuck Graff Steve Facka Jill Klingman Steve Krab Tweety Krab Jerry Kuenning Chase Mathers Mark Spurgin Eddie Steel Susan Steel Bob Wiseman Nebraska Cattlemen YCC Connor Biehler Quentin Daily David McDonald Steph Nelson Jason Star Kenny Stauffer Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture Kaden Day Mallory Hanes Tera Horky Dani Layland Sean Lucas Madison Rush Grace Strong Lily Strong Erin Tempel Dominic Towtman Lydia Ziemba Nebraska Corn Growers Association and Nebraska Corn Board Carson Blum Andrew Bohlen Brian Brown Denise Brown Kelly Brunkhorst Chris Grams Kevin Harsch Tanner Hohlen Andrew Hollister Brandon Hunnicutt Todd Knoll John Krohn Jason Lewis Blake Merrell David Merrell Tom Nathan Dave Ogden Doyle Rathman Andrew Schlichtmeier Clint Shipman David Utecht Rachel Whitehair Wryan Wright Ethan Zoerb Nebraska Kappa/AGR Alumni Hayden Berg Judson Bonsack Westin Bonsack Jake Burge Keiser Dixon Kaitlyn Dozler Kyle German Lance Jones Joel Katzberg Kenzie Klinginsmith Parker Klinginsmith Austin Knapp Jared McKoerer Thomas Perrin Wesley Wach Easton Weber Jacob Wendell Gunnar Wolfe Northeast Community College Kelton Brahn Karli Bruning Hunter Claycomb Aubrey Dexter Zoey Grwtzfeld Tyler Hanson Samuel Hemenway Joe Miller Connor Nielsen Evan Pankoke Journee Reeson Jaci Scnipper Chloe Spady Daniel Steffen Caden Stokes David Switzer Miles Wright Northeast Nebraska Cattlemen Association Barb Beermann Dave Beermann Darrell Christensen David French Mary French Peyton French Harley Greve Vickie Greve Payton Janke Russ Urbanek Phelps/Gosper County Cattlemen Wayne Ferdinand Lyle Kinnaman Shane Odell Deb Potter Mike Potter Carson Scheele Chaynce Schepker Rob Schmidt Platte Valley Cattlemen Darren Beller Travis Dicke Hallee Held Boyd Hellbusch Liz Hellbusch Joel Kratochvil Jeff Martensen SPECIAL TO THIS ISSUE
