Julie-Anne Puhallo

Kamloops is my hometown where I grew up on a cow/calf operation north of the City and I still ranch with my son and dad at his place helping with whatever needs doing. My younger days were spent in Little Britches and High School Rodeo, playing fastball and being a part of the 4-H Program.

As a 3rd generation 4-H member I still support the program as a Leader as well as acting as a volunteer with the North Thompson Fall Fair. Understanding the importance of promoting and encouraging the role of youth in agriculture has also been a key factor in my role as the Vice Chair and Marketing Rep for the BC Agricultural Expo, now one of the biggest beef shows in the province.

I’m the Communications Manager and Editor of Beef in BC Magazine at BC Cattlemen’s which has been an extremely rewarding position working with BC’s ranching community. I’m very excited for the opportunity to further promote the beef industry and the Angus breed in a different role and look forward to working with the Association and its members.
