Grant County Cattle Growers President's Message:

I want to thank all our producers, sponsors, agencies, groups, and supporters for attending our barbecue and meeting at the NAN Ranch on August 14, 2021. A special thanks to our board members, what a team effort of going above and beyond to get the job done. Thank you to the Silver City FFA for helping at the event, we appreciate what these young men and woman do for our community.

We had an attendance of over 200 members, sponsors, groups, and supporters. Grant County Cattle Growers would like to thank the following sponsors: NAN Ranch, Split Ranch Resources, Hargrove Insurance, Zoetis/Arenas Valley Animal Clinic, Freeport McMoRan, Frost Forged, DK Guns, Old Fashioned Meats, Morrow Ranch, Ace Hardware, Q's Catering Service, 5R Travel Center, not to mention all the other sponsors and supporters. We raised $4010 on our donated auction items and sold 75 raffle tickets. We supported Silver City FFA by auctioning off benches and tables made by the FFA kids. They raised $700 on their auction items.

A special thanks to the following speakers: Congresswoman Yvette Herrell, Craig Archer, Caren Cowan, Hayden Forward, Belinda Garland, and Ralph Zimmerman. I want to personally thank state representatives Gail Armstrong and Luis Terrazas for attending our barbecue. We appreciate your support of the livestock industry.

Grant County Cattle Growers is an organization by the producers. Strong working relationships with other livestock groups and agencies is important to our organization. Our goal is to be a voice for all southwest N.M. livestock producers, to speak on issues that affect our industry. 

Thank you, Lord, for the success of our barbecue.
