Joe Guild will serve as Chairman on the policy division for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association during the coming year. Jamie Johansen spoke with him at this year’s Cattle Industry Convention and NCBA Trade Show about the skills he brings to the position from his job as a ranch manger in Nevada.

Guild owns a ranch management business and has been an attorney for 36 years, mostly working on resource issues like water law. Before heading off to law school he worked on a ranch, so now he has the unique perspective of understanding what it is to feed a cow in zero degree weather and going to court to talk to the decision maker about why his client deserves better. It’s that combination, Guild says, that will allow him to be a resource for NCBA policy making.
