Ep. 7: Minnesota Beef Council - Karin Schaefer

11/05/19 • 34 min

Karen Schaefer is the current Executive Director of the Minnesota Beef Council and runs a cattle operation with her husband and three children. Karin grew up on a dairy farm in Minnesota and was the Princess Kay of the Milky way runner up, (a very big deal in Minnesota). After attended college in North Dakota, Karin took a job with the Minnesota Farm Bureau where the experiences she gained from there allowed her to get her current position with the beef council. Karin is very positive about the future of the beef industry but knows it has its challenges, but believe me, Karin is up for the challenge as she truly loves to promote not on the beef industry locally but nationwide as well.
