Sebelius names Kansans to oversee health of livestock

With the livestock industry remaining vital to Kansas’ agriculture sector, Governor Kathleen Sebelius has reappointed three Kansans to the Kansas Animal Health Board.

“It’s important to have individuals with knowledge in the field providing state leaders with information and guidance on how we can continue our state’s tradition of being a leader in the raising of livestock,” said Sebelius.

The Kansas Animal Health Board provides advice and policy recommendations to the Kansas Livestock Commission.

The following individuals were reappointed to three-year terms:

  • Brice Guttery, Osborne
  • Vincent Traffas, Smith Center
  • Clarence “Bud” White, Garnett
