                       Tuesday, December 1, 2015

  Mr. BUCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Steve Gabel on 
being selected for induction into the Farm Credit Colorado Agriculture 
Hall of Fame. This honor is reserved for those who have made a 
significant contribution to the agricultural industry of Colorado and 
the United States.
  Currently, Mr. Gabel owns Magnum Feedyard, a 22,500-head feedlot in 
Wiggins, Colorado. He also manages Gabel Cattle, his family-owned cow-
calf business. In addition, he is currently a member of the National 
Cattlemen's Beef Association and president of the Colorado Livestock 
Association. He previously served for fifteen years as chairman of the 
Colorado Beef Council.
  Mr. Gabel also understands the importance of giving back to his 
community. He prides himself on volunteering as a Weld County Livestock 
volunteer judging coach, where he mentors youth on the importance of 
agriculture. Mr. Gabel has shown true leadership in his industry and 
community.
  On behalf of the 4th Congressional District of Colorado, I extend my 
best wishes as Mr. Gabel pursues his future endeavors. His passion and 
dedication to the agricultural industry makes him more than worthy of 
this distinct recognition. Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize Mr. 
Steve Gabel for his accomplishments.
