Chelsea Hajny takes over as executive vice president of the Washington Cattlemen's Association on July 1.
She replaces Ashley House, who left to take a job with the Colorado Farm Bureau. House joined the association in August 2020.
"I have been an ag kid my entire life, growing up on the back of a horse and with cattle," Hajny told the Capital Press. "I truly believe there are no better people than ag people."
Hajny grew up on a cattle ranch in North Idaho and currently raises Black Angus.
