On a rainy Saturday, ranchers, farmers, wives, speakers, FFA students and supporters gathered at NAN Ranch for the annual Grant County Cattle Growers barbecue event. Sponsors and vendors were outside with their wares. Inside the large barn, members had set up tables and chairs for the participants. A large sign recognized the sponsors.
