NW Mink Ranch, LLc
N4533 Zebro Rd
Bruce, WI 54819
I managed and owned this business successfully growing the business in production and quality.
My responsibilities as a business owner included but were not limited to accounts receivable,
accounts payable, payroll, all year end reports, general ledger, depreciation schedules, tax
preparation and other general administrative tasks. Negotiating contracts for long term cost
controls with suppliers was a very important part of the business in order to analyzed costs and
sales to develop budgets. In order to recruit good, dependable employees I implemented and
managed an employee benefit package. Training employees so they could advance their career
and increase income potential was a passion of mine. Arguably, the most important job of mine
was to make sure the animals were healthy. In order to achieve that goal I wrote an Xcel
program to assist in putting together nutrition packages, making sure that they got all the
nutrients they needed at the correct time of the year. I also developed plans for infectious disease
control and worked very closely with the DNR and other government agencies including permit
development and adherence. Due to the unique and small industry I was a part of, it was very
important to develop close working relationships with not only other ranchers but suppliers, and
professional staff. While developing these professional relationships, I worked very closely with
CEO’s, CFO’s, and other high level professionals to obtain knowledge, financing, and guidance.
I am confident that I have the skills and knowledge to be a successful addition to your team.
