Texas Cattlewomen Collegiate Scholarship

We provide an organization through which women function collectively to protect their industry, work toward solutions of beef cattle problems, to inform consumers of the importance of the industry and of the contributions it makes to the economy of the nation.

Because of the prevalence of misinformation about BEEF, CattleWomen strive to provide science-based information to consumers regarding the nutritional benefits of BEEF in a healthy diet. The continuing progress and prosperity of the industry is the mainstay of all our activities.
