#63 Don Schiefelbien "The Membership tells us"

Don Schiefelbein, his father, seven brothers and three nephews own and operate Schiefelbein Farms, a large diversified farming operation in Kimball, Minnesota. Before returning to the family farm, Schiefelbein served as the executive director of the American Gelbvieh Association. He previously worked for the North American Limousin Association after graduating from Texas A&M University. Schiefelbein has a long history of industry service, most recently in the role as chairman of the Beef Industry Long Range Planning Committee. He has also held several positions on committees and the board of directors of the American Angus Association. In addition, Schiefelbein is a past president of the Minnesota Cattlemen’s Association. Schiefelbein and his wife of 32 years, Jennifer, have three daughters, Shelby, Abbey, and Bailee, all of whom are active in the industry. Don was recently elected as the head of the National Cattleman's Beef Association and he was kind enough to join me on zoom to talk about where he came from and his family's operation. We don't talk about the past and what NCBA has done, we talk about the future and Don tells us how the NCBA works as a member driven organization.
