Stevie Ipsen began her job as Director of Communications at the California Cattlemen’s Association in January 2008. With most of her previous work experience in print journalism, Stevie is the first point of contact for all media inquiries at CCA. Stevie is also the editor for the California Cattleman, the Hot Irons newsletter and the Legislative Bulletin. In addition, Stevie is also the state coordinator for California’s Beef Quality Assurance Program and maintains CCA's Web sites and social networking communications.
Raised in and around the livestock industry of Central Utah, Stevie relocated to California after completing her education at Utah State University. With bachelors of science degrees in both Bioveterinary Science and Agricultural Journalism and Communications, Stevie fits her position well because of her ability to communicate her love and knowledge of agriculture to those who already understand the science, as well as those who are just discovering it.
Stevie’s husband, Logan, is the Southwest Field Editor for the Western Livestock Journal. They currently reside in Elk Grove with their daughter Sterling.
