Dear Ladies,

It is time for us to catch up with the world of “Mom’s, Millennials and More”. Well, I know what a mom is. As CowBelles we need to address these women. We must share their concerns and opinions. We must explain the benefits of modern beef production and so their attitudes about beef will improve. The “Mom’s, Millennials and More” program from ANCW leverages the power of social media and of woman-to-woman interaction to enhance the image of beef.

Millennials range from the age from 13-32 and social media is their primary source of information and drives their decision-making. The majority of Millennials feel technology makes life easier. Beef is an important, healthy and muscle building product and our job is to get this information to them. They are apprehensive about exploring the full range that beef has to offer due to a lack of knowledge of the cuts, and how to cook them. They make decisions by looking to online recipes, social media, online ratings, Pinterest, Facebook, Groupon, YouTube and traditional media. We need to get involved in social media since that is the up and coming information source for today’s Mom’s in the millennial era. We need to be online, engage in social media including Twitter parties, beef blogs, YouTube videos and Pinterest/Instagram contests, where Cattlewomen, Moms and Millennials are at the forefront. Think visually and meet them where they are, seeing is believing.

“More” is the last of the three M’s and we need more. More membership, more young blood because this is the future of our organization. Some of us have been in this organization for several decades, we need to step down, turn the reins over to those who are younger and have great ideas. I have heard some great ideas while traveling with the young ladies that have been my officers. Let them be our leaders! Those of us who have been in a decade or longer, I challenge you to get new members and let the young ladies be our leaders. It is a challenge to be an officer, and granted it is like the book titled, It Is Okay to Be Wrong. If you are wrong you correct your mistakes and go on, no one is perfect. It is like a young lady who was teaching once asked me, “How do you teach a child to fall down, get back up and go on?” That is what we need to do. Give these young ladies a chance, it is okay to try new ideas, stand behind them and get them as new members to help our organization to grow.

– Sharon King, NMCB President
