New Iowa Beef Center Director Excited to Expand Her Connection to Iowa Beef Cattle Industry

By Sherry Hoyer

When Aimee Wertz-Lutz was working as a post-doctoral research associate in ruminant nutrition and nutritional physiology at Iowa State University, she likely didn’t see Iowa State as part of her professional career.

After all, she would soon be headed to South Dakota State University as a faculty member in the animal and range sciences department, then to ADM Animal Nutrition as a manager of ruminant nutrition research, followed by serving as ruminant nutritionist for Devenish Nutrition (North America.)

Yet, on July 1 of this year, she returned to Iowa State as Iowa Beef Center director and extension feedlot specialist. And she’s truly excited to be back.
