He earned a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Economics from Kansas State University before joining Spring Cove Ranch, a leading Angus seedstock operation in Idaho, where he managed herd health, calving, and bull development programs.
He later earned a graduate degree in Animal Science from Colorado State University and joined S&P Global, where he led beef and cattle market research within the Commodity Insights and Energy divisions. Combining hands-on production experience with market expertise, Caleb provides data-driven analysis and strategic insights that help cattle industry stakeholders make informed decisions, manage risk, and improve profitability across the supply chain.
