AdvertisementEllison elected to national Red Angus boardMissouri Larry Ellison of Fair Grove, Mo., was elected to the Red Angus Association of America Board of Directors to serve District 9--Midwest. Ellison and his wife, Merrilyn, live in southwest Missouri just outside of Springfield. They have a daughter, a son and five grandchildren. Ellison grew up on a small farm in southwest Missouri and has been involved in agriculture his entire life. He and Merrilyn raised registered Angus from 1978 until they switched to Red Angus in 2002. They presently maintain a small registered herd under the name of Harmony Hills Red Angus, and utilize both AI and embryo transfer in their program. They market their bulls as a cooperator herd for Feddes Red Angus of Manhattan, Mont. Ellison attended Missouri State University and the University of Missouri, and has been a Certified Public Accountant since 1968. He has an extensive business background including small businesses proprietorship and serving as executive vice president of a New York stock exchange company. Ellison is currently a partner in a mid-size CPA firm in Springfield and serves as an accounting and business consultant for a number of small businesses, farms and agri-businesses. He has been involved in over 30 agriculture and non-agriculture related entities including president of the Missouri Angus Association, director and former president of the Ozark Empire Fair, lifetime member of the Missouri Cattlemen's Association and local 4-H beef leader. Ellison is the chairman of the 2010 National Red Angus Convention slated for Springfield. He has also served on a National Red Angus scholarship committee, attended the Young Guns Conference in Bozeman, Mont., and organized the new Midwest Breeders Fall Classic Sale. Ellison believes that his extensive financial and business experience combined with his life-long involvement in the cattle industry will help him be an effective RAAA director as the Red Angus breed continues to expand its place of prominence in the cattle industry. "We must continue to work closely with other major beef breeds and commercial breeders and maintain our emphasis on performance and maternal traits," said Ellison. Advertisement
