by Beverly Butler and Members

Ladies,

Spring has sprung and hoping all have received at least a little moisture. We have been very active this past month, Region 6 meeting in St. George, Utah, and Region 4 meeting in Amarillo, Texas and WALK held in Las Cruces. We were represented at each of these meetings and received valuable information.

The next thing coming up is Father’s Day. Remember Fathers are very important people, we need to recognize them. This year ANCW has put together Tool Kits for Father’s Day. The information is all there for you and what a great opportunity to use it.

The Beef Ambassador Contest is coming up soon, DEADLINE for entries is June; get a contestant. For more information contact Shelly Hathorn. These ambassadors are great beef promoters. Thank you Courtney Hurt and Sage Mijares for everything you have done. Thank you Shelly for the great job in coordinating the Beef Ambassador Contest.

Midyear meeting will be held at the Embassy Suites in Albuquerque this year, June 16-18. Make your reservations and attend the CowBelles meeting June 17. Bring all of your ideas and suggestions.

I recently talked to some people who have worked for the medical field; they did not realize that beef by-products played a part in pharmaceuticals. I think it is time we start back to educate the people on what beef by-products really contribute to the world.

Cattle provide products that make the quality of human life better. Did you know that you needed blood factor for treating hemophilia, killing a viruses and making anti-rejection drugs? Tell that to someone who is not familiar with beef and take a good look at their expression. If you know of someone who has burns and wounds they may use chymotrypsin to comfort them. Non-stick bandages and plastic surgery use collagen. Heparin is used for an anticoagulant to treat blood clots. Many people have been diagnosed with hypoglycemia and need glucagon to make their lives more desirable. Pancreatin helps in the digestion of food. Thrombin Vitamin B-12 is a preventative for B-Complex deficiencies. Just things we need to remember helps blood clot. .

If you can tell people who believe that cattle are not important just hand them the pamphlet ‘WOW THAT COW’. It is important that we can tell what is in that pamphlet without looking at it, but then when you pull a pamphlet out of your purse or pocket, or hand them out at your health fair or any other beef promotion, it makes a lot of difference. So let’s know our cattle inside and out, remember a ‘Steer is Not All Steak’, we know that cattle are good inside and out and now more than ever we need to convince the public how important cattle are to them no matter if they eat, need medical help, travel or wear clothing.

– Sharon King, NMCB President
