About John Braly
John Braly was born and raised on a cattle ranch in California and has over 40 years of ranch experience. His continued success stems from his authentic relationship with the western ranching lifestyle and his enthusiasm, enjoyment and participation in agriculture is provided by his connection with horses, livestock and the land. John’s enthusiasm for ranching began at a young age and continues today.
John received his Bachelor of Science degree in Agricultural Science and Management from the University of California at Davis, was president of the UC Davis Rodeo Club, served on two Dean’s committees, was an academic peer advisor and was a member of the Livestock and Dairy Judging Teams. At UC Davis, he served as a member of the Animal Agriculture Research Center Board, Animal Science Development Board and was also as the First Vice President of the Alpha Gamma Rho Alumni Board.
John’s work experience includes working at Kern Livestock Supplement Co., handling livestock supplement sales for California, Nevada and Arizona, then continued his career as the Assistant Manager for Bidart Bros. in Bakersfield, California, which ran 5200 mother cows in California and Nevada and fed 25,000 head annually.
After 16 years with the California Cattlemen’s Association, his continuing work experience includes moving to Colorado to join the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association team serving as the Vice President for Industry and Member Services where he oversaw the membership, education and publication functions of the organization; Destron Fearing as the Vice President of Business Development in the Animal Applications Division; and the North American sales team and government affairs duties to his responsibilities. In this position he managed seven North American sales positions that work through distribution with our line of livestock, pet and equine products and their outlets and represents the company in Washington, DC.
John and his wife continue to graze cattle, breed and show reined cow-horses and flyfish. John also likes to hunt in the mountains around home, in Colorado.
