Governor Larry Rhoden has appointed Kory Bierle and Ross Cuny to the South Dakota Brand Board, while also directing the board to continue improving its operations.
Rhoden said the Brand Board plays a key role in protecting the state’s livestock industry and praised the new appointees for their deep ranching backgrounds.
Bierle, a fifth‑generation rancher who operates Madsen Ranch Land & Cattle near Midland and serves as Southern Regional Director of the South Dakota Cattlemen’s Association, said he is honored to help support brand registration and ownership inspection programs.
Cuny, a fifth‑generation rancher from Buffalo Gap and a University of Wyoming range management graduate, said he looks forward to advancing the board’s mission.
