About the Cattlewomen

 

Polk County Cattlewomen strive to educate the public about the Beef Industry and promote it's products. These goals are met through different projects throughout the year.

The association is made up of all types of women. Some were born ranchers, while other have acquired the "Cowgirl Status". Some women are secretaries, teachers, homemakers, mothers, bookkeepers and other career women.

We add the women's touch to the Cattle Industry. We work hand in hand with the state and national Cattlemen's and Cattlewomen's Associations and assist our county Cattlemen in various projects and dinners.

The Polk County Cattlewomen's Association has established a scholarship fund consisting of a $2,000 Academic scholarship and a $2,000 Agriculture scholarship that is awarded each year to Polk County graduating seniors. In addition, we supply awards and shirts to local youth fairs. We volunteer at our county agriculture festivals, trade shows, state fair beef booths and Farm Bureau coordinated Agri-fest that runs for two weeks. The Polk County Cattlewomen would like to educate school age children and the public on the importance of the rancher and farmer in their daily lives. Agricultural Industries are very interdependent on one another.
