Dear Cowbelles,

You have done some awesome promotion and telling your story so far this year, don’t give up, we can do it. Better yet each of you can contribute just a little bit more. One smile at a promotional function can make a difference.

Do you want to expand your knowledge of how and what you can do to promote beef just a little bit better? I challenge you to take the course, ‘Masters of Beef Advocacy’. It may take a little bit of time, but costs you nothing. Link on to Beef.org/MBA Program; I challenge each of you to complete this program. This program can give you ideas on how to approach and explain the beef industry and its importance to everyday life. To tell you the importance of the Beef Advocacy Program, we have a New Mexico CowBelle who was the first to finish the program, she is so dedicated to the beef industry, not owning a cow, she promotes beef no matter where she goes, the super market, the doctor’s office, the train or on vacation, that is what I call a dedicated CowBelle. I challenge you to keep up with her.

One person can make a difference. You can only talk to one person at a time unless you are speaking to a group. We need to be educated, take time to take the Beef Quality Assurance Program; this will give you lots of answers to questions that people ask that are not involved in our industry. We have to talk to urban people different than we do people in our business. We do not want to assume anything, explain, let them ask the questions, and then answer.

The contacts you make while promoting our product can be very influential in our business be pleasant, kind, understanding and above all first listen to what they have to say, before you start in, you might get a little education yourself. You want to be that good cow with a good disposition, not the cow that will get you on the fence. You be in control of the knowledge of beef.

You who are involved in social media keep up with what is going on in the world this is the future education of the public and the younger generation.

It’s tough, but no one said this world was going to be easy, negativism gets you nowhere. Be Proud, even if times are tough, Promote Beef. Remember our products are everywhere; a steer is not all steak. ‘Wow That Cow’ pamphlet provides a world of information, study this, know the information and carry this pamphlet with you, share it with others.

You have the power and knowledge to let people know about the value of our product.

You are the link that makes our organizations stronger.

– Sharon King, NMCB President

Powderhorn CowBelle members met on July 9, 2013 at the home of Carolyn Bedford. Carolyn gave a program on making flower arrangements using native grasses and ordinary tools. Ellen Vaughan, Vice-president was in charge of the meeting due to the absence of local’s president. During the regular meeting reports were heard from the Mid-year meeting held in Albuquerque in June and the Old Fort Days barbecue. The Beef Council is sponsoring a Beef Truck throwdown on July 27 and needs some help. This is a chance for local members to help in the bigger picture of Beef promotion. When Barbara Jackson was elected president of ANCW she was given $25,000 worth of Z-tags and in turn she gave each group on the national level $300 worth. New Mexico CowBelles elected to auction ours off at the Annual meeting in December and give the proceeds to the Pat Nowlin Memorial Fund. Also, from the Mid-Year meeting, Shelly Hathorn introduced the Beef Ambassador Larisa Estrada for 2013. She will attend the National Beef Ambassador competition in Bentonville, Arkansas in September. The Junior Beef Ambassador is the niece of Sandy McKenna of Powderhorn. We are proud of her and think she will have the chance to do well in the future. She will also be able to attend the National competition in Bentonville, Arkansas. Kyra Grant a recipient of the Pat Nowlin Scholarship. We were sorry that the attendance was so low, because we all enjoyed the meeting, the visiting, the lunch and especially the program. Submitted by Dorothy Vaughan, Secretary
