Hall Of Fame
Dan Sutherland joined Johnsonville in 1982 as head of sow procurement. Over the years, he held key roles in plant management, sales, meat purchasing, rendering, and foreign market development.
Fritz Usinger is the president of Fred Usinger, Inc., a 144-year-old family-run meat processing company in Milwaukee. As the fourth-generation leader, he has driven the company’s growth and innovation.
Scholarship Recognition
For the 2023-24 school year, the Wisconsin Livestock and Meat Council awarded $12,000 in scholarships to university students from campuses at Madison, Platteville and River Falls.
These are students who have demonstrated interests in animal science, particularly in the production and processing of beef, pork, lamb, and veal. The scholarships are supported by the generous donations of meat and livestock businesses throughout Wisconsin.
