Dave embodies the spirit for which this award was created. He has made his living in the cattle business because he treats it like a business, and creates ways for his customers to be successful. He has always taken the forward thinking approach, doing the things and laying the groundwork so that others have something to build on.

— Ben Eggers  
General Manager, Sydenstricker Genetics

There are certainly many, many industry giants who have been conferred this honor in the past. They have contributed mightily to the livestock industry. I believe Dave to be equally worthy and his portrait being hung with theirs only adds to the credibility of your organization and its effort to honor men and women who greatly impacted the industry we all hold near and dear to our hearts.

— Mark Henry  
Operations Manager, National CUP Lab & Technology Center | Walter & Associates, LLC

I have always been impressed with Dave's understanding of the need to recognize the value of consumer demand related to raising cattle. He appreciates the need to listen to what consumers want - great taste, tenderness, a safe product - which defines the quality beef his cattle produce.

Executive Director, Iowa Beef Industry Council
