BDP Consulting Partners with BIO

October 19, 2007

            Due to new opportunities, Brian Pogue has decided to concentrate his efforts on his company BDP Consulting and as such will no longer be able to work full time for BIO. BDP Consulting and BIO have agreed to partner on projects associated with BIO’s core services such as herd recording, bull test and genetic evaluations. Brian will continue to work with BIO until mid November on the Market Access Program (MAP). For your consulting needs, Brian can be reached at (519)836-6345 or bdpogue@sentex.net.

“On Behalf of the BIO board and membership, we wish to thank Brian for his many years of service to BIO and the beef industry and we look forward to opportunities to work with BDP Consulting as BIO builds and moves forward.”
