Todd Inglee has been named brand commissioner for the Colorado Department of Agriculture Brand Inspection Division.

The division protects livestock producers and lenders, tracks livestock movement and facilitates the return of stolen or stray livestock. Inglee is only the seventh brand commissioner in the history of an organization established in 1865.

Inglee previously served as executive director of the Colorado Beef Council Authority and worked with public and private contractors in promoting the beef industry in the state.

He founded and operated Ralston Valley Beef, a private label branded beef business and worked as trade media manager for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association. He served as president of the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association from 2017 to 2018.

“Colorado brand laws are respected across the nation, and I’m honored to be joining such a historic and reputable organization as the broad board,” Inglee said. “I look forward to continuing to serve the industry and provide livestock owners with the representation, protection and service they need.”
