About SDCW
The SDCW, an auxiliary of the SD Stock Growers, is a significant group in the state that a cattle producer or cattle producer wife can belong to.
- We are members of a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of BEEF.
- We are affiliated with the American National CattleWomen and believe and uphold their creed:
Believing that the livestock industry is of basic importance to world existence, we, the American National CattleWomen, dedicated ourselves to support it with our labor and finances; to promote it through information and publicity; to encourage its producers with our understanding and love; to do all in our power to instill in the coming generation 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 CattleWomen.
