Vaassen New WI Beef Council Executive Director

The Wisconsin Beef Council has new leadership. Tammy Vaassen has been hired as the next Executive Director of the Wisconsin Beef Council. She will join the staff in late August and will take over her full duties after the retirement of current Executive Director, John Freitag, on October 1st.

Tammy has worked with the Wisconsin Pork Association for over 25 years and has led their staff over the last 13 years. Tammy worked as their Director of Operations from 2005 to 2014 and Executive Vice President since 2015.  During her time with the Wisconsin Pork Association, she has worked with all aspects of operations including their checkoff, budgets, and promotion.

Tammy is a native of Southwest Wisconsin and graduated from University of Wisconsin at Platteville with a degree in Animal Science.  She resides with her family near Cuba City, WI in Grant County.

The Wisconsin Beef Council is a producer-directed not-for-profit organization funded by the $1.00 per head assessment on all cattle sold in the state of Wisconsin per the Federal Beef Promotion and Research Act & Order. Half of one dollar remains in Wisconsin for local beef promotion, while the other half is forwarded to the Cattlemen’s Beef Board. The purpose of the Council is to fund beef promotion, research and consumer education activities supporting Wisconsin’s $2.1 billion beef industry.  The WBC operates under the guidance of its Board of Directors. The Board is comprised of representatives from cattle related organizations from around the state.
