SHASTA COUNTY CATTLEWOMEN An Organization Dedicated to the Livestock Industry!

Our Creed

Believing that the livestock industry is of basic importance to world existence, we, the Shasta County CattleWomen, dedicate ourselves to support it with our labor and finances; to encourage it’s producers with our understanding and love; to do all in our power to instill in the coming generation the love of the land and of life; the humanity and awe before nature; and the hope and faith in the future that is inherent in both Cattlemen and CattleWomen.

Our History

It was 1961 and Shasta County Rancher had formed the Shasta County Cattlemens Association. Dorothy Wilcox, Pat Bosworth and Marion Barnes met to discuss organizing Shasta County Cowbelles as an affiliate of Shasta County CattleWomen. As a result we started with a charter membership of 16. In 1987 the name was officially changed to the Shasta County CattleWomen.

Our Purpose

• To assist the Shasta County Cattlemens Association in it’s efforts to promote the welfare of the livestock industry. • Educate youth about the journey of food from the farm to the table, good nutrition, and that beef is part of a well-balanced diet. • Educate consumers about the convenient, versatile and wholesome qualities of beef. • Stress the importance of agriculture to the economy and the environment.

We encourage you to participate in our organization!
