Welcome to a Year of C e l e b r a t i o n : P a r t II
s we say good bye to winter, and hello to summer, we can’t help but reflect on the hard spring so many industry members experienced. We have risen to the occasion once again and shown the world that the agriculture industry is resilient, especially cattle producers. As an industry we have always had to deal with mother nature and the many challenges that she brings us. As the pastures begin to green up and the cattle begin to flush out on the grass, we are hopeful for the success of another calf crop to bring us full circle again. We are half way through our celebratory year. I personally have had steak and cake at all ANCW events and know that all region meetings have as well. Our regions have gathered to network, educate and promote. We have also elected new committee members and look forward to these ladies bringing their knowledge to the committees. Thank you, Pam Griffin, for all your time away from your ranch representing ANCW. American National CattleWomen have been busy with our spring meetings as well as some traveling by our officers. Ruth Coffey has represented ANCW at the Ag Alliance meeting and Pam Griffin has attended three region meetings and I attended one on her behalf. To coincide with our Region meetings we have also held one of our WIRED programs in Arizona, and a Taste of WIRED in Minnesota. It was a smashing hit with great speakers and hands-on experience. WIRED has been a great tool for
ANCW to use in helping our membership, as well as others, gain confidence and knowledge about all things cattle! As an officer team, with the company of 3 more of the executive team, we traveled to Washington D.C. to the ANCW Fly-In. As members of American National CattleWomen and cattle producers, we are fully aware of the impact we had as we walked the hall of our nation’s capital and open doors. The NCBA Washington D.C. staff was very helpful in facilitating our meetings as well as briefing us on the important issues for our industry. We were each able to speak firsthand about issues that affect us individually, as well as nationally. No matter the size or location of our operations, we all have very common concerns. We spoke of the Farm Bill, Estate tax, Immigration, Boarder Security/ Food Security, Government Overreach, WOTUS, NEPA and many other items that are of importance to our industry This is a great example of how we continue to stand on the pillars we were founded on, as well as giving value to our membership. Summer Business Conference is right around the corner and we have a great lineup of speakers and workshops planned. We will celebrate our 70 years of organization by showcasing the three pillars we were founded on. We will have National Ag in the Classroom speak on Education and give a workshop. We will also have qualified states teaching workshops on K-12 education. (cont.)

s a fifth generation member of an agricultural-based family company, I often find myself thinking about the time it took to arrive where we are now. Over a century later, the passion for agriculture carried throughout generations continues to guide our family’s dedication to the industry. In honor of my ancestors’ devotion to agriculture, I got to thinking about where time goes when the sun sets, when you hang up your hat, kick off your boots, and yet another day goes by. Time is something we use every day to get our chores done, go to work, tend to our herds and all of our other responsibilities as cattlewomen. We may use tractors, fence pliers, trucks, trailers, horses, dogs and so many other tools like our voices, our knowledge, our platforms, and our industry connections. Yet all of these tools require our time to use. It’s the fact that we cattlewomen devote our time to accomplishing these tasks that allows us to play such vital roles in the success of the industry. Agriculture is, and will always be, the most noble of professions. As cattlewomen employed all throughout the agricultural industry, we contribute compassion and steadfast dedication in our roles as stewards of God’s land and resources. We are the voices of the beef industry in our communities, and our country. I believe there is something to be said about being cattlewomen who devote our time to such a noble cause. My hope is that our descendants look back on this time another hundred years from now and feel the legacy of passion for the beef industry that we spend our time establishing day in and day out. Here’s to each and every cattlewoman across our nation who chooses to selflessly dedicate her time and legacy to promoting and preserving our noble industry. - Eden M.

ur day began with breakfast and guest speaker Matthew Dacy, presenting the “History of Mayo’’. Dr Kristina Porter, DVM, led the morning session with a thought provoking talk “Defining your Why?”. Andrew Swanson followed with “Value in Estrus Synchronization”, ending with Rhianna Frost from TransOva with an “Introduction to Reproduction”. Lunch was served by the Three Rivers Cattlemen. We continued our day with a live demonstration of Ovum Pick Up for In vitro fertilization. Small group sessions gave the participants an opportunity to test their new found knowledge. Afternoon sessions included: Artificial Insemination and Ultrasound with TransOva; Understanding EPDs with Andrew Swanson, Select Sires; Estrus Synchronization with Rhianna Frost, TransOva; “Setting your Females up for Success” - Dr. Kristina Porter, DVM; “Build Performance Before Birth” - Jill Peine, Hubbard Feeds. An Expert Panel Q&A finished up the educational portion of the day. We relaxed with a steak dinner and a live jazz duo. - Rosemary Gustafson President-Elect, Minnesota CattleWomen

want to share with you about a really special organization and program that the ANCW Executive Board has recently been showcased at a recent meeting. We believe it to be extremely worthy in sharing to our membership. Many of us in our lifestyle are deeply patriotic and grateful for the men and women who lay down their lives to protect our freedoms, so I hope you find interest in it as well. June Silvia Kester lives on a beautiful ranch in Parkfield, California where she raises cattle, kids, and grapes. She’s also blessed with grandkids now that will represent the 7th generation of their ranching family. Besides her passion for faith, family, and livestock, she also has a huge respect and need to give back to all that have served and currently serve in the United States military. She’s the lady that will always go up to anyone in military uniform or veteran insignia and say, “God bless you for your service to our country.” She feels richly blessed by the freedoms in our country and feels it is her duty to give back to our service men and women. She is seeking and reaching out to fellow cattlewomen and cattlemen across our country to help support this endeavor through a couple different causes she is very passionate about. The Might Oaks Warrior Program started on a ranch right next to the Kester’s. Mighty Oaks is a faith-based organization that is about saving lives, restoring families, and changing legacies. These programs take place all across America, on military bases, at outposts, and at rural ranch lodges. Each facility allows these men and women to appreciate the peace of nature. Thanks to Cattlemen and Cattlewomen, chefs at these facilities prepare healthy and nutritious meals. The program has also started taking in first responders. It is estimated that 21 veterans and first responders a day take their own lives because they aren’t getting the help they need. June’s request is that you help her find as many men, women, and families as possible as the Mighty Oaks Warrior Program has helped thousands thus far. June has witnessed healing through riding on the back of a horse at these magnificent ranches. Honor Flight is the other program that transports veterans to their memorials in Washington, DC at absolutely no cost. They have transported 250,000 deserving veterans to these memorials so far. June has had the honor of being the guardian of six World War II and Korean War veterans so far. On her first flight as a guardian, there was a 102-year-old veteran, so age is not a factor if they want to go! She can tell you there is no greater feeling than to serve those who have kept our great nation free. Both Mighty Oaks and Honor Flight are 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations and so anyone you can find to help get into one of these life-changing programs, will make a significant impact on their life. We are losing 600 veterans a day, so they need to locate as many as they can that have not had the chance to visit their memorials. All the program needs is you to share a way to get in contact with the deserving men and/or women you may know. There are 130 Honor Flight hubs all over the United States that are waiting to take our fine veterans. Again, it does not cost them a dime and never will. If you are interested in supporting these programs or have information on veterans to share with them, please contact June Kester at servingallheroes@gmail.com or 805-434-7616. Each program also has their own website, so you can learn more at www.mightyoaksprograms.org or www. honorflight.org. Together, we can make a difference in so many lives! - Kady Porterfield Chair, ANCW Board of Directors Washington

s the ANCW Vice President, I was presented with invaluable opportunities to attend two events during the same week. The first event was visiting NCBA headquarters, being briefed on the latest issues that concern ag producers, and spending the day sharing state and local concerns with available legislators. The next event traveling to the Animal Agriculture Alliance which was held in Kansas City. This meeting was well attended by members from food service manufacturers, special interest groups such as the American Dairy Producers, NCBA, Farm Bureau, American Pork Producers Assoc., American Poultry Association, Universities, and ag producers. The presenters helped to equip attendees with information such as working with Social media, Understanding Activist Threats, How Advocates Can Adapt to be Effective, and other great topics. If you are able to ever become a part of this great organization, I highly recommend it. My main obligation, the ANCW Membership Committee has put forth an “ANCW Membership Drive” that extends from April 1 through September 30, 2022. We are hoping to get positive responses from our members of each region. I am hoping to hear from our region directors as to how well they felt the membership drive was received. Please feel free to share any ideas you have for improvements when another membership drive unfolds. I look forward to hearing from you…. ruth.coffey@cccattleco.com

he American National CattleWomen met for the Region II meeting held in Jefferson, GA on May 20-21, 2022. In attendance were cattlewomen from Georgia, Florida, Alabama, and South Carolina. Tours that were a part of the meeting were: Jackson County Agricultural Facility, Potts Family Meat Processing plant, Potts Bros. Farm Inc. – Owner Kyle Potts, Elrod Family Farm at the Cowboy Logic sale facility, and C & C Farms Simmental Cattle. Meals were provided by Jackson County Agricultural Facility, Elrod Family Farms & Cowboy Logic, and Talmo Market - General Store, which was spotlighted last year during our virtual meeting for National Hamburger Day. The ANCW business session was held. During this session, Reba Mazak, President of the ANCW gave an overview of the American National CattleWomen. During this session, Committee reports were presented and nominations were made for positions for some of the Region II Committees, and every state presented a state report. Georgia Cattlewomen did an awesome job with the meeting and gave the attendees a taste of Northeast Georgia. #gitupinANCW - Evelyn Greene ANCW Immediate Past President Alabama

egion III (Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, and Illinois) and Region VII (North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas) held their joint ANCW Region Meeting on Saturday, April 30, 2022, in Rochester, MN at Aune Hall, Olmsted County Fairgrounds. The morning began with a catered breakfast. Gregg White started our morning with “The Mighty Mississippi – Our Agriculture Depends On It”. The Mississippi River starts in northern Minnesota at Lake Itasca. It flows through the center of the United States for a total of 2,340 miles. It takes about 90 days for water to flow the entire length of the river, starting at the headwaters in Lake Itasca, MN to New Orleans, LA and the Gulf of Mexico. You can drive the entire length of the river by taking the Great River Road. The drive is over 3,000 miles long! Something I have added to my bucket list. As Gregg’s presentation shared with us, it plays a huge part in agriculture with 60% of exported US grain transported on barges traveling the river. The Mississippi River shipping is greater than ocean and Great Lakes shipping combined! President-elect Pamela Griffin, President-elect of American National CattleWomen, shared about her life and ranch in Globe, Arizona. She gave an update on ANCW Leadership Team and ANCW programs. • Define yourself before others do! • Establish a relationship with your elected officials now. They will have someone to reach out to with questions, and they will know you when you need to contact them with concerns. • Handwritten letters to your legislators are important. They read them! The state presidents and region representatives provided updates on the activities that cattlewomen have done. During the Region Meeting, the following members were elected/re-elected to the ANCW Committees: Region III: Budget: Andrea Kientzy Membership: Penny Zimmerman Public Relations: Rosemary Gustafson Ways and Means: was not filled at the meeting. Debbie is working on finding someone to fill this position. Region III: Debbie Chute Region VII: Budget: Ashley Iliff Membership: Rebecca Christenson Public Relations: Jenny Johnson Ways and Means: Amy Sitter The newly elected and re-elected positions begin at the ANCW Annual Meeting during the 2023 Cattle Industry Convention in New Orleans, LA. Membership decided to host a joint meeting in 2023. Region VII will be hosting it. Location and dates will be shared when plans are finalized. - Debbie Chute & Shirley Thompson Director, Region III Minnesota

attleWomen in Region V have had a busy year. We have worked from the grassroots, actively promoting ranching and beef throughout our region! We have engaged in new activities and have worked hard to develop our young leaders in Agriculture through our Junior and Collegiate CattleWomen programs, as well as beef promotion and education to consumers. Our “COVID at home time” was spent developing our beef stories and diversifying our avenues of income as beef producers. This year, we look forward to sharing these stories and what we have learned while growing our cattlewomen membership numbers and overall reach. Remember that our work is never done! Our future is in our young CattleWomen and Cattlemen. State and local cattlewomen throughout the region are developing and engaging in new events to promote beef and ranching to young athletes and their families during little league games, 5k runs, and biking events. Cattlewomen continue to engage children in classrooms, farm expos, and ranch days. Beef booths and volunteer work at stock shows, bull sales, legislative days, state and local fairs will continue through the summer months. Cattlewomen in Region V are knocking the ball out of the park! May 19-21, Region V CattleWomen met in Cody, WY for our annual regional meeting and a fun filled few days! The Wyoming CattleWomen treated us with phenomenal guest speakers including Amanda Radke who discussed leading ag forward in challenging times, Cat Urbigkit who challenged us to step up, and Sarah Falen who discussed how we can advocate effectively for agriculture. Friday afternoon we had leisure time around downtown Cody with a fun filled dinner at the historic Irma Hotel. On Saturday we heard from Wyoming First Lady and Lifetime Wyoming CattleWomen member, Jennie Gordon, on the Wyoming Hunger Initiative and efforts to end childhood food insecurity in the state. This initiative is moving mountains and consolidating efforts to end hunger in Wyoming. These programs provide a wonderful template that would benefit our nation if broadened to all 50 states. Our regional meetings truly are a time of cattlewomen fellowship and growth. If given the opportunity, I encourage you to join us next year for the Region V meeting to be held in Colorado! See you all there if not before! “We will continue to be a voice for cattlewomen and a strong advocate for the ranching way of life.” - Katharine Bruce Director, Region V Oregon

n Tempe, Arizona on May 12, 13 and 14, Arizona Cowbelles hosted the American National CattleWomen from Arizona, California, New Mexico, Nevada, and Utah who gathered as Region VI to learn from each other and discuss important topics in the beef industry. The Cowbelles also graciously invited all CattleWomen to attend a Women In Ranching Education and Development event at the end of the meeting. Region meetings are a great way to learn what the other states are doing concerning education, advocacy, legislation, and membership. The networking and friendship in our organization are powerful benefits of attending. We started the morning with committee reports and elections. As our consumers are more interested in where their food comes from, many producers are selling direct to consumer. A panel was held by some who are doing it and all the pros and cons were up for discussion. Sara Burris and Natalie Koopman are ranchers who are direct marketing. Jessica Veo who works for the Arizona Department of Agriculture as a Meat Inspector was on hand to answer questions about regulations. Jake and Lynette Giles own a meat processing facility called AZ Mobile Meat. Last year ANCW introduced a new program Women In Leadership Development (WILD). Pam Griffin, ANCW’s President-Elect, presented the conflict resolution portion of the program. It is available on the website to use in your state and local chapters. Dr. Cathy Maguire, a veterinarian who works for Zoetis, taught how antibodies transfer from cows to calves through colostrum and how to time vaccines to be the most effective. She also gave practical information about the proper ways to store and prepare vaccines. These were muchneeded reminders on our ranch. The importance of proper financial planning and records was covered by Marci Schlup-Hall of Tri-State Livestock Credit Corporation. The half-day tours of JBS or US Foods were very educational.
ANCW business included committee reports and elections for committee positions. These members will serve oneyear terms starting in January with the option of being re-elected for 3 more terms. Ways and Means, Callie Martinez, from California (starting immediately); Communications, Shelly Brake, from Nevada; Legislative, Madison Bowers, from Nevada; Beef Promotion, Nancy Phelps, New Mexico, and Debbie Torres, California.
WIRED
Arizona provided an excellent learning opportunity to all who were able to attend the WIRED event. They created a stress-free environment to try some of the skills we had reviewed in a classroom setting. Patient, hands-on instructors taught the “how and why” of basic ranching skills and the latest technology at Heiden Feedlot in Buckeye, Arizona. Everyone who attended was able to become BQA Certified and Dr. Joslyn Beard from the University of Arizona taught the class. Information was provided on tracking technology, nutrition, and bull and cow selection. Attendees were able to place implants and ear tags. Everyone got to practice proper vaccine preparation and stress-free cattle handling. Paul Heiden deserves a big thank-you for allowing participants the opportunity to vaccinate, implant, and tag about 100 head of cattle. There was something for everyone at WIRED. There were women who attended who have just started working on a ranch, and two young girls 12 and 16 whose families have ranched for generations. Ruth Evelyn Cowan-Giles showed off her cattle handling skills. Her grandmother was one of the original founders of our organization. It was a pleasure to be together and learn from each other. - Nikki Weston Director, Region VI Utah

T
he word “grassroots” became real to me as I sat and listened to the Minnesota CowBelles fir st president, Irene Wishard, share her stor y. It wasn’t a stor y dr iven by emotion. It wasn’t a stor y dr iven by crisis . Her s was a stor y of necessity, forging a new life on new land, and going against the grain of tradition in nor thern Minnesota. On Januar y 26, 1968 the Wishards , an experienced ranch family from South Dakota, moved to Trail, MN in search of land they could own. They knew the type of land it took to run cattle on and they were not going to winter their cattle in a barn, a decision so unheard of in Nor thern Minnesota that financing became difficult. Irene said, “We would tell the realtors the land needed to have hills , draws , trees , and water.” They branded their cattle and worked their cattle by hor seback. They wore western clothes not for fashion but because it suited their life . Nor thern Minnesota wasn’t quite ready for them but as with all change , it takes time . So, in time , the Wishard family car ved their niche in the land and community. Their hard work, dedication, and care for neighbors and cattle rose above the novelty of their lifestyle . Once settled, Ralph “Bud” and Irene Wishard began seeking out other cattlemen and women. The grass began to take root when they realized what needed to happen for beef rancher s in Minnesota. The state needed to join together and be a unified voice in legislation. The women attended the meetings with the men and quickly created their own place . While the men worked diligently on legislation and production, the women worked in their communities and state to promote their product, beef. A “Steer is More Than a Steak,” was the first teaching lesson Pauline Purath developed to take into schools . Three women, Irene Wishard, Pauline Purath, and Rosie Kramer, set out for the Duluth schools in a truck bed camper ; true pioneer s of beef promotion and education.The CowBelles communicated by letter, phone , and drove thousands of miles ever y year. There were eleven local chapter s in addition to the state officer s . In 1987 they changed from CowBelles to CattleWomen. When the Beef Checkoff money began to come , the CattleWomen played a distinguished role in beef education and promotion across the state . The CattleWomen programs funded by the Beef Checkoff were: Beef for Father’s Day, May is Beef Month, Beef Gift Cer tificates , Beef Queen program, and the Beef Cook-Off. I am honored and in awe of the legac y of this organization. What a pr ivilege for me to ser ve as president in this histor ic year. Meeting with Irene and wading through totes of histor y these past few months has only deepened my passion for cattle women all across Minnesota. We are not the same organization today but reflecting on our past has strengthened my resolve to see the Minnesota CattleWomen become a vibrant community of women who are passionate about the cattle they raise , the beef on their plate , and the people dependent on our livelihood. Our first event, “A Taste of WIRED” along with our Region 3 & 7 meeting will be in Rochester Apr il 28-30. Up next is our 50th Anniver sar y celebration on July 30 in Nevis , MN. We will be ver y busy at the MN Beef Expo and look forward to seeing you all in December at the annual convention. To ever y cattle woman reading this , consider your self personally invited to all our events . To keep up with all that is happening visit our website , mncattlewomen.org or follow us on Facebook and Instagram @MNCattleWomen. - Michelle Mouser President, Minnesota CattleWomen Minnesota

ays and Means Committee meets regularly throughout the year, providing ideas and goals to meet many of our ANCW fundraisers or program sponsorships. As they move through the year, there are always a few things in the pipeline working towards these goals. It is a very active Committee. Currently, the new and upcoming wild rags were reviewed and votes were taken for our next release. If you have not ordered our current wild rag, certainly now is the time! They will not reorder them once they are gone. It’s a big splash of color for the year, a bold and vibrant statement piece. They also make great gifts. We can say that they do go fast and it’s one of our most popular items in our ANCW Store. It’s a clear identifier in a crowd, you’re an ANCW supporter! We appreciate it. The Committee is always willing to listen to new ideas or learn of a new sponsorship partnership opportunity for ANCW.
