By: Tyne Morgan, Corner Post staff

With 40 members strong, Collegiate Cattlewomen is an organization at the University of Missouri-Columbia that represents a new generation of beef promotion.

"Our goals are educating others about beef and increasing our membership," said Lesley Snodgrass, Collegiate Cattlewomen's president.

Snodgrass commented that the women have had a lot of fun while promoting the beef industry. Besides promoting beef, meetings are held the first and third Tuesday of every month in ASRC S119, as well as holding various activities throughout the year.

"We have had hayrides, BBQs and beef education opportunities we have participated in. In December we always volunteer at the Annual Cattlemen's
Convention in Tan-Tar-A," said Snodgrass.

The fun and activities are not over yet for the cattlewomen. In
April, a trip is planned to Oklahoma State University and the semesterly trash pick-up.

So far, Snodgrass feels that the Collegiate Cattlewomen has had a successful year. They have increased their membership and participated in fun, eventful activities last fall.

"It is never too late to join," said Snodgrass.

The adviser's of the organization are Darla Eggers, McKenzie Keedy, Anita Ryan and Dawn Thurnau.
