Gov. Walker Presents Beef Month Proclamation to Bayer Family
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 05/26/2016

Governor Scott Walker has presented the official proclamation declaring May as Beef Month in Wisconsin to the owners of Country Lane Farms in Ringle. The Marathon County operation is operated by Scott and Mia Bayer, along with their children Ty, Callie and Tucker.

"The beef cattle industry in Wisconsin is a significant contributor to our economy and our workforce," Walker said. "It contributes more than $2 billion in income and is responsible for more than 35,000 jobs throughout our state. We're ranked fifth in the nation for pounds of beef produced every year, and throughout the month of May, we're celebrating the beef cattle farmers, like the Bayer family, who contribute to this important aspect of agriculture in Wisconsin."

The family has raised Angus cattle since Scott's father purchased his first breeding stock in the 1970s. As a way for the next generation to take ownership, Red Angus cattle were added to the farm as well under the name TC Reds.

Meanwhile, the Bayers also show their livestock across the nation and have exhibited champions at the Wisconsin State Fair, World Beef Expo, North American International Livestock Exposition in Louisville, Kentucky, and the National Western Stock Show in Denver, Colorado.

Leaders of the state's beef check-off program announced earlier this year that they are bumping up the annual Wisconsin Beef Month celebration from July to May this year to coincide with the start of the summer grilling season.
