BROOMFIELD, Colo. — During their recent mid-winter conference, the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association named CDA’s Kenny Burk, II as the “Brand Inspector of the Year for 2016.” CCA says, he has proven himself instrumental in the recovery of stolen horses from New Mexico, and in returning horses to their rightful owner in Utah – and a stolen cow returned to its owner in Fort Collins. Thanks to his efforts, the perpetrator is now facing charges. CCA and the Colorado State Board of Stock Inspection commend his willingness to educate, mediate and act as peacemaker in numerous situations in not only handling livestock, but just as importantly, in dealing with people.
