Dear Florida Cattlemen’s Association Members,
As of April 15, 2025 I have retired from the Florida Cattlemen’s Association and want to say thank you for all your support, guidance, help, and engagement in this great association.
It has truly been a privilege and honor to work for the cattle folks of Florida.
You are the finest people in the world.
I appreciate the belief you showed in me by allowing me, along with a very competent staff, to operate your organization these last 27 years.
The organization is on sound footing and has a very strong team of staff and volunteer leaders ready to take it to greater heights in the future.
I encourage you to stay involved and step up into leadership positions at the county and state level.
This outfit has lasted 91 years because Florida ranch families have made it a priority to band together to keep this great 504 year-old industry thriving in the sunshine state.
I am not leaving the state and hope to be around for quite a few more years. Please don't hesitate if I can be of help to any of you in any way.
Thank you for your friendship, love and support of my family and me.
I pray God’s blessings will be with each of you and your families in all the days ahead.
Sincerely,
Jim Handley
