Three associations receive scholarship grants

AgriLabs, St. Joseph, Mo., is awarding a total of $1,500 for scholarship grants to three state associations as an outcome of its booth promotion at the recent National Cattleman's Beef Association (NCBA) Convention in Reno, Nevada. The Nebraska Cattlemen Research & Education Foundation, Lincoln, Neb.; the North Dakota Stockmen's Association, Bismarck, N.D.; and the Washington CattleWomen, Goldendale, Wash., each will receive $500 to be used for an educational scholarship for a deserving youth during 2008.

When registering at the AgriLabs booth, convention participants designated which state association would receive a grant if their forms were drawn. Teddy May Charlton, Ellensburg, Wash., identified the Washington CattleWomen as a grant recipient and was the first to have a registration card drawn. Sherry Schulz, Bismarck, N.D., submitted a form designating the North Dakota Stockmen's Association, which was picked after the trade show's second day. On day three, the winning entry from Loretta Hamilton, Thedford, Neb., sent $500 to the Nebraska Cattlemen's foundation.

"Inviting beef producers to name their favorite NCBA or American National CattleWomen state affiliate, or the ANCW Foundation, to receive a scholarship grant added even more interest and fun to our booth activity this year," says Charlie Higdon, business unit manager, AgriLabs. "As a result, an additional $1,500 is in the hands of associations who will use this money to provide scholarships to three young people involved in the beef industry."

In addition to the scholarship grants, AgriLabs offered a grand-prize drawing of a framed print by rural-American artist Bonnie Mohr. Jan Kennedy, Faddis Kennedy Cattle Company, Sheridan, Wyo., submitted the winning registration card and will receive the signed, numbered lithoprint titled "Summer Pastures."
