Executive Committee

Meet your WCA President: Brady Zuck

"At a recent cattle meeting, a producer asked, “who really is our voice?” As farmers and ranchers, we represent less than 2% of the total population. Involvement in local, state, and national organizations is key to making sure the concerns of beef producers are represented. WCA is the legislative voice of the beef cattle producer in Wisconsin, and I look forward to growing our membership to increase our influence at the State Capitol."

Brady Zuck has been involved with the Wisconsin Cattlemen's Association Board of Directors for almost four years. Prior to joining the WCA Board, Brady was a WCA Scholarship recipient and attended the WCA Winter Conference annually. Additionally, Brady was a part of the 2019 Young Cattlemen's Conference (YCC) class. 

Since joining the WCA Board, Brady has become very involved with the Steak Trailer, Summer Tour, Sponsorship, and Scholarship Committees. Brady and Matt Ludlow chair the Steak Trailer committee, a key source of funding for WCA. Brady was also involved in reviving the annual WCA Summer Tour, which started in 2018. 

Brady and his family operate a commercial cow-calf operation near Ladysmith, Wis. The operation utilizes management strategies including rotational grazing, estrus synchronization, and low-stress weaning to improve efficiency and profitability. Brady is currently employed by Diamond V Mills, working with feed mills and nutritionists across the upper Midwest.
