Nevada Cattlewomen
We have a date and a location! Mark your calendars
for July 16-18, 2021. The W.I.R.E.D. (Women In Ranch Education and Development) along with Stockmanship and Stewardship will be held together for the first time. This event will be held at the Elko County Fairgrounds in Elko, Nevada. National Cattlemen Association and American National CattleWomen along with Nevada and California Beef Councils and the Beef Checkoff are working together to have a three day event for cattle producers from around the west. The groups are still meeting and fine tuning the agenda. Once this is solidified, information will be available.
The ANCW held the annual meeting on February 5, 2021 via zoom. During the meeting normal activities happened such as approval of the minutes and financials. The Nominating Committee submitted the names of: President- Evelyn Green, President Elect- Reba Mazak, and Vice President- Pam Griffin. These fine ladies have been asked to serve another year in their current position. Because of the pandemic shutting everything down, they were not able to travel and they truly missed out on all their office had in store for them. So, they all graciously chose to serve another year. It was also brought up during the meeting that membership numbers are down a bit this year. So, I strongly encourage you, if your not a ANCW member, please join this great organization, the basic membership is $60.00 per year. The web site for American National Cattlewomen is https://ancw.org/jointoday/join-online/ . The American National CattleWomen are doing so much to support American agriculture. The roots of this organization are imbedded in helping women succeed on and off the ranch. “ANCW is a voice for women who share a passion for the beef community with a focus on Beef Promotion, Education and Legislation”. Also, during the meeting the Collegiate Beef Advocacy Program announced the new team for 2021. Carli Eubank from Pocasset, Oklahoma and Kathryn Slavick from Mandan, North Dakota. I wish these fine young ladies the best of luck and I can’t wait to see the amazing things they do! Plans are underway to have the 2021 Cattle Industry Summer business meeting and Annual Convention to be held August 8-12 in Nashville, TN. The convention headquarters will be Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center in the heart of Nashville. This event is for anyone in cattle or agriculture business. The 2021 event will be one of the largest on record. This convention will have Cattlewomen and Cattlemen from across the country. Event organizers expect to have over 9,000 people attend this convention. The trade show will be truly unbelievable with over seven acres of agriculture booths for livestock production and business management. The businesses at this convention will help make every animal and acre on a ranch more profitable. These meetings are educational and the hands-on workshop are from industry leaders. More information can be found at ANCW.ORG or NCBA.ORG.
