At the Genex Cooperative, Inc. annual meeting in January, Bill Zimmerman of Foley, Minnesota, and Terry Frost of Roundup, Montana, were elected to the Genex board of directors.
"We welcome Bill and Terry to the Genex board," states Paul Greene, Genex President. "Members of this 13-person board are elected to represent the various geographical areas served by the cooperative. They also represent the variety of dairy and beef operations owned by our members. The diversity among board members allows for balanced input and development of a balanced strategic business plan."
The newly elected Zimmerman (right) and his wife, Penny, operate One Penny Ranch raising and marketing Charolais, Simmental, Angus, Sim-Angus and Lim-Flex® cattle. In partnership with their sons, they also background calves and feed out cattle at custom feedlots.
