History of SDCW

It was 1951 and the wives of the SD Stock Growers decided it was time to have their voices heard.  They knew then as we know now that it takes everyone to work together to ensure the sustainability of beef.  They went out and promoted and educated beef because even then they had skeptics about our livelihood, raising beef.

We are members of a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of BEEF.  It’s our turn to ensure that future generations will continue to have the opportunity to raise beef, eat beef and enjoy everything beef has to offer.

National Affiliation

We are also affiliated with the American National CattleWomen organization.  Membership in ANCW allows one:

  • To be the voice for women who share a passion for the beef industry.
  • To network with fellow women in the cattle community around America.
  • Acquire and learn how to use education and beef promotion resources and programs.
  • Develop and utilize your leadership skills.
  • To be part of a strong united voice for the beef industry.
