Missouri Ag Connection - 01/18/2019

The Missouri Cattlemen's Association recognized three county affiliates for their strong membership and diligent efforts in promoting the cattle industry. The awards were presented during the 51st Annual Missouri Cattle Industry Convention and Trade Show in Columbia.

The Polk County Cattlemen's Association was named Outstanding County Affiliate for their exceptional support of youth and continual community involvement. The association hosts multiple events throughout the year to spark enthusiasm for members and shares their excellent grilling skills with other organizations in the community. The county affiliate received a scale head sponsored by MFA Incorporated and Tru Test valued over $2,000.

The Dallas County Cattlemen's Association was recognized as Runner-Up Outstanding County Affiliate. This county has mastered what it takes to keep members involved, including bringing world renowned speakers to their meetings. They are an asset to recruiting efforts both locally and statewide

The Southwest Missouri Cattlemen's Association was named Outstanding Affiliate for Beef Promotion. They became the pilot affiliate this year in what is now a growing program known as "MO Beef for MO Kids" led by the Missouri Beef Industry Council. This program ensures school children have delicious, nutritious beef at school.

Outstanding Affiliate Activity/Event went to the Southeast Missouri Cattlemen's Association. This county affiliate hosted 16 schools and more than 200 educators and parents of third and fourth graders for a day of learning where food comes from.

"Without strong county cattlemen's organizations like these, the state association would not be nearly as successful," MCA President Bobby Simpson said. "The Missouri Cattlemen's Association is fortunate to have great affiliates representing the beef cattle industry in Missouri."
