Meet the Team
Congratulations!
2019 Utah Beef Ambassadors:
Allie Wallentine, Tennyson Miller, Makenna Luce
Meet the team:
My name is Makenna Luce and I am a 20-year-old sophomore at Utah State University. I was born and raised in Northern California in an agriculture community of mostly orchards and rice fields. I am studying Agriculture Education and plan on teaching high school students once I graduate. Cattle ranches have a large impact on the Utah agriculture industry and cattle have a huge economic impact in our global economy. I would love to learn more on both of these subjects, which is why I applied to be a beef ambassador. I am also very excited to go around and teach people about our beef industry. I’m grateful to have an opportunity to expand my knowledge and then hopefully pass that onto the future generations as a beef ambassador.
My name is Tennyson Miller, and I grew up in Deer Lodge, Montana where I got the opportunity to raise and show my own cattle. I am currently studying agribusiness and animal science at Utah State University. I am very passionate about the beef industry, and I am eager to talk to people about how cattle are raised and the many benefits we receive from them.
My name is Allie Wallentine, and my interest with the beef industry stems from a lifetime of raising beef cattle beside my family. Not only do I have an interest for cattle and the industry in its entirety, but also I deeply care for it and see it as a part of myself and who I am. From a young age, I have been surrounded by the industry in all forms. I am excited to be a Utah Beef Ambassador because I see it as a great opportunity to teach others about beef cattle, and all forms of agriculture.

What is a beef ambassador?
The Utah Beef Ambassador program strives to provide an opportunity for young adults to educate consumers about beef; including beef nutrition, food safety, the economic value of the beef industry, and stewardship practices of the beef industry. Our goal is to develop future advocates and leaders of the beef industry through beef promotion, communication, education, media, and training. We are seeking to find a beef ambassador team that will passionately educate and promote the beef production industry to consumers and youth throughout the state.
