Last week I had the opportunity to attend the 71st American National CattleWomen (ANCW) Mid-Summer meeting in San Diego with Cheryl Foster, a Siskiyou County CattleWoman who is also the ANCW Legislative chair.
Members of the Baker CowBelles met Jan. 7 at the Tavern to celebrate its 60th anniversary.
The non-profit group has been serving as a voice of the women in the cattle industry and have promoted beef through education, legislation and communication since 1961.
The group started with the name âBaker Bossy Bellesâ with its first meeting Jan. 7 in 1961 and one of the first decisions of the group was to vote to join the Southeastern Montana Corporation of CowBelles.
The group is one of many that promote the use of beef, with a focus on education in schools, âWe support and donate beef to be used by specialty groups such as the FFA, 4-H, senior citizens and other charity event fundraisers,â the group states in its mission statement.
