Ron started his U.C, Cooperative Extension career in Solano County in 1957. He moved to Tulare

County as 4-H Youth Advisor in 1964 and was appointed county Director/Livestock Advisor for

Tehama County in 1972. Ron held that position until retirement in 1991. His thirty-four year career

resulted in significant achievements for livestock producers.

organizations. Ron was treasurer for the Tehama County Cattlemen’s Association, and treasurer for

the Tehama District Junior Livestock Committee. He was a Tehama County Farm Bureau Director

and a member of the Red bluff Bull and Gelding Sale Committee.

their “Man of the Year” award. The Tehama District Fairgrounds 4-H building was recently renamed
