K-Stater interns with CAB
by Sarah Moyer
Sarah Moyer, Emporia, Kan., joined the Certified Angus Beef ® brand’s Producer Communications team as an intern this summer at the brand’s headquarters in Wooster, Ohio. The senior in ag communications at Kansas State University (K-State) aims to improve her writing by sharing stories of high-quality beef producers.
Working with the CAB writing team across the country, Moyer creates technical news releases, columns, features on brand partners, posts for the Black Ink ® blog (www.cabcattle.com) and video scripts. Interviews include ranchers with registered Angus bulls, culinary chefs and other partners in the beef cattle community.
Writing for The Agriculturalist and The Collegian at K-State, and special projects with High Plains Journal, have prepared Moyer to bring experience and enthusiasm to her work. Broadcast experience from K-State Research and Extension’s “Agriculture Today” radio program also helps. As for knowing about beef, her parents run a cattle backgrounding operation in the Kansas Flint Hills, where she grew up an active 4-H’er.
Certified Angus Beef LLC, a nonprofit company owned by members of the American Angus Association, adds value to Angus cattle through specification-based premium beef. Now in its 40th year, the brand and its 19,000 licensed partners market more than a billion pounds annually in 50 countries.
