He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in animal science and agricultural business from Colorado State University\, where he was a member of both the meats and livestock judging teams and was involved in other clubs and activities. In fall 2017\, Patrick earned a master’s degree in agricultural economics from CSU. His research focused on price forecasting and fed cattle markets. \nPatrick joined CattleFax as an analyst in January 2018 and currently serves as the Director of Cattle Market Research and Analysis. His primary responsibilities include fundamental research and analysis within the cattle markets\, as well as helping producers navigate markets and manage risk within their operations. Patrick is responsible for serving CattleFax members in the western region and writes frequently for CattleFax publications. \nPatrick and his wife\, Jordy\, live in Castle Rock\, Colorado with their two Corgis. They frequent the ski slopes in the winter and enjoy helping with the family operation in Oregon whenever possible. Patrick also helps coach the local 4-H livestock judging team. \nJess Pryles\, Hardcore Carnivore\n \nJess Pryles\, Hardcore Carnivore\nCCA looks forward to hearing from Jess as a General Session speaker. \nJess Pryles is a live fire cook\, author\, meat expert and a professional Hardcore Carnivore. \nShe has a particular passion for beef and meat science and is a respected authority on Texas style barbecue. Born in Australia\, she now resides in Austin\, Texas. \nIn addition to being a maven of all things meaty\, Jess is a co-founder of the Australasian Barbecue Alliance and the creator of the internationally-acclaimed line of meat seasonings\, Hardcore Carnivore®. She has also authored a cookbook of the same name. \nPryles’ website is one of the highest ranking resources for meat cookery and information on the internet. Her recipes\, videos and classes reach millions of meat-fans around the globe each year. \nJess’ expertise in the meat world grew from humble beginnings – a regular consumer who enjoyed the occasional steak at home\, but frustrated by her own lack of knowledge on the different cuts available\, and more importantly\, how to cook them. \nAs she herself puts it: ‘I used to be one of those people who stood in the meat department at the grocery store overwhelmed by the selection. So I decided to change all that”.  \nShe’s spent years educating herself on all things related to meat. Basic butchery\, varied cooking techniques\, the affect of aging meat…she’s investigating these and a myriad of other carnivorous subjects. \nShe’s visited ranches\, slaughterhouses\, butcher shops\, gone through the experience of hunting as part of the rite of a responsible meat eater (and now loves processing her own venison) and has completed short courses at Texas A&M University’s Meat Science department\, as well as teaching her own classes in the US\, Australia\, Mexico\, Sweden & Brazil. \nJess was honored to create and execute the menu for the G’day USA Australia Day event at the Texas Governors Mansion\, has appeared as a celebrity judge on Channel 7’s Aussie Barbecue Heroes and is a regular on Food Network. She’s grilled live on the Today show and judged prestigious BBQ competitions worldwide. Her expertise has been sought for guest speaking engagements at SXSW\, Camp Brisket\, National Barbecue & Grilling Association\, Ducks Unlimited and American Meat Science Association conferences. Annually\, she hosts a Beef Masterclass in conjunction with the Texas Beef Council. \nIn 2017\, the JP signature edition Pitts & Spitts smoker was released. Designed by Jess\, each pit is custom made in Texas\, individually numbered and bears her signature. \nPryles is a spokesperson for Kingsford Charcoal and Lone Star Beer and a proud ambassador for Gerber Legendary Gear and Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation. \nTouted as “the female Ron Swanson” by loyal followers\, Pryles has pioneered a unique brand encompassing cookery\, ‘meatducation’ and the Texan way of life\, all while encouraging and educating folks to cook meat like they mean it. \nClick here to learn more. \nColin Woodall\, NCBA\nColin Woodall\, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association\nCCA looks forward to hearing from Colin as a General Session speaker. \nColin Woodall is the Chief Executive Officer of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and leads the country’s oldest and largest national trade association for cattle producers in being the trusted voice and definitive leader of the beef industry. \nOriginally from Big Spring\, Texas\, Colin graduated from Texas A&M and then worked as a grain elevator manager and merchandiser for Cargill at several locations in western Kansas and the Oklahoma panhandle.  After venturing to Washington\, Colin took a job with U.S. Senator John Cornyn from Texas.  He has been with NCBA since 2004 and served as the association’s Chief Lobbyist in Washington\, D.C.\, for a decade.  He is a founding member of the Government Relations Leadership Forum\, a life member of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo\, member of the Texas Aggie Corps of Cadets Association\, the Agribusiness Club of Washington\, D.C.\, the Washington Agricultural Roundtable\, and is a past Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Agriculture Council of America.  He also volunteers as a junior commercial steer show judge at the San Antonio Livestock Exposition. \n \n \nCATTLEMEN’S POSTER SESSION \n \nParticipate in the 2024 Cattlemen’s Poster Session happening at Convention!
