CattleWomen announce winners of Beef for Father’s Day essay competition

Each June, Texas CattleWomen 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 kick off summer as a tasty grilling season. What dad doesn’t like to BBQ? As an affiliate of Texas CattleWomen, the Navidad 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: 1st prize - $60 beef gift certificate, 2nd prize - $50 beef gift certificate, and 3rd prize - $40 beef gift certificate.
