Spring Beef Activities
Greetings to all my beef-loving friends across the state. As usual, the
SDCW have lots of promotion and education projects being planned. Please plan on
attending the Beef Day at the Capitol slated for Tuesday, March 5. It’s always
a great opportunity to meet with legislators and fellow beef producers.
We have our next Quarterly meeting Friday, March 15th at Mitchell Technical Institute. This will be a treat – because the Culinary Students will be preparing a meal. Do try to make it.
Do hope local affiliates will try to make an effort to help classrooms across our state celebrate National Ag Day on March 19th. It is a day to recognize and celebrate the abundance provided by agriculture. Ag Day program was started in 1973 under the leadership of the Agriculture Council of America (ACA), a food and fiber community dedicated to increasing public awareness of agriculture’s vital role in our society. Do check out their web site: www.agday.org.
Another valuable web site to checkout is www.factsaboutbeef.com. It has
answers to timely questions and helps you with questions that you might be asked
when speaking to non-ag consumers.
I know how busy life is for EVERYONE; I sincerely do appreciate those who make our meetings a priority.

We have our next Quarterly meeting Friday, March 15th at Mitchell Technical Institute. Our meeting will start at 10 am at the conference room and our lunch will be at 11:30 at the Oak Room, also located at the school. This will be a treat – because the Culinary Students will be preparing the meal. Do try to make it. At that time we will be determining Beef for Father’s Day promotion – so come with ideas. As one member said “we only have 4 quarterly meetings, so it is important to attend.” Thanks to committee members Jan and Katrina Jarding for making the meeting arrangements in Mitchell.
Believing that the livestock industry is of basic importance to world existence,
we the American National Cattle women, dedicate ourselves to support it with our
labor and finances: to promote it through information and publicity; to encourage
its producers with understanding and love, and do all in our power to instill in
the coming generations the love of the land and of life; the humility and awe before
nature, and the hope and faith in the future that is inherent to cattlemen and wome
n.
Be not concerned Be not surprised
If what you do is criticized
Mistakes are made. We can’t deny
They’re only made by those who try.
