Each June, Texas Cattle Women conducts a statewide beef promotion activity known as Beef for Father's Day. Claiming Father's Day as a great day to prepare beef, CattleWomen kicks off summer as a tasty grilling season.
What dad doesn't like to barbecue? As an affiliate of Texas CattleWomen, the Nav idad Valley local conducts an annual essay competition.
All area sixth-grade students were invited to participate in an essay contest celebrating Dads and Father-figures. The topic was: What makes my Dad or Father figure so great and why he should be awarded a beef gift certificate? The prizes were, first place, $60 beef gift certificate; second place, $50 beef gift certificate; and third place, $40 beef gift certificate. Beef gift certificates can only be used to purchase beef either at a local meat market, restaurant or grocery store. All entries were from the NVCW service area of Fayette, Lavaca or Colorado counties.
