Western Livestock Journal LLC (WLJ) is pleased to announce the addition of Ty Groshans to its team of field representatives. Groshans brings extensive marketing experience to the team and is eager to help set producers up for marketing success.
Groshans will serve as a field representative for producers in southern Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Nebraska, South Dakota and Kansas.
Prior to WLJ, Groshans worked for DVAuction, producing online production sales and working with producers to capture video and photo footage. Groshans also previously worked with the American Angus Association, serving as the director of Commercial Programs and assistant director of Performance Programs, and the American-International Charolais Association, serving as the Western representative.
“I am excited and honored for the opportunity to work for such a trusted publication with a proven rich heritage in the livestock business,” Groshans said. “I have spent my professional career marketing commercial and purebred cattle. I look forward to assisting a variety of producers and agricultural businesses in marketing, while still maintaining their rich histories and traditions.”
Groshans has strong roots in agriculture, tracing them back to both the original Wildcat Ranch homestead near Fort Morgan, CO, and Groshans Hereford in Holyoke, CO. He is a graduate of Colorado State University (CSU), holding bachelor’s degrees in animal science and agricultural business. While at CSU, he was also a member of the seedstock merchandising team.
