Meet Our Benchmark Graphic Co. Family
Kaye & Jeff Kaufman
Kaye Woolam Kaufman, Benchmark co-founder and designer, has invested her entire life to the Agriculture industry and a good part of it to marketing in one form or another. Originally from New England, Kaye grew up on a Registered Hereford and Southdown operation and then went to Colorado State University where she was active in Block and Bridle and numerous judging teams; however it was her duty of being the student manager of the CSU bull test sale for two years that sparked her interest in livestock promotions.
Upon graduation, Kaye was the youngest and first female Executive Director of the Virginia Angus Association, at VAA they produced 15+ sale catalogs a year and a 200+ page membership directory, thus prompting her to learn graphic design and publishing in a really fast paced environment.
Over the years Kaye has continued to do free-lance photography and design work as a side job to full-time jobs on farm and in corporate America, in May of 2020, growing Benchmark and establishing the business even further became a full-time commitment.
Kaye maintains the KY Benchmark location with her husband Jeff and two daughters, Julia and Anna Weaber. Jeff assists part-time with the book keeping at Benchmark and is also the Manager of Tamme Valley Angus. The family also operates Agri-Exposure, LLC which provides custom boarding options for cattle producers looking to prep cattle for shows and sales.
