The Montana CattleWomen are excited to announce their newest promotional and educational program, the CattleWomen’s Ranch Run. Planned by a committee of energetic group of young ranching and running CattleWomen from across Montana, the event will be held on September 19, 2015 starting and concluding in beautiful downtown Lennep, MT.
This event is designed as a 25-mile relay run with up to five members in each team. Runners will pass through three different ranches, which have been owned by the same families for over a century as well as some public land. The goal is to display our ranching lifestyle, the sustainability of well-managed livestock operations and reminding runners that all cattle are grass fed for the majority of their existence.
We have invited Jed and Annie Evjene, this year’s winners of the Environmental Stewardship award to join us and help us in educating the runners. The Collegiate CattleWomen will join us to help with water stations and whatever else may be needed. This should be a great event that will reach out to a different and desired group of consumers.
Consider getting together a team and joining us. Registration can be found online at racemontana.com under CattleWomen’s Ranch Run.

CattleWomen are currently working on a new website. At this point, it is still a work in progress but it is being designed by millennials for millennials and should be much more engaging and informational. We will be asking for beef recipes to showcase as well as your photos and blogs. It should be a great tool with links to our programs and educational information too.
Cascade CattleWomen recently hosted our Mid-Year convention. Speakers included Representative Wendy McKamey who updated us on the recent legislative session, Jeannie Rankin spoke on bio-security with special emphasis on FMD, followed by a presentation on self-defense and concluding with a great tour of historic Great Falls. It was a very well organized and productive meeting, thanks to our hosts.
As always, our local CattleWomen are the backbone of our group. Recently they have hosted and provided meals at educational events in Baker (Temple Grandin and Curt Pate) and Absarokee (Jeannie Rankin). T-Bone CattleWomen are actively involved with Operation Second Chance and Wounded Warriors activities in their area as well. Good job CattleWomen!
