Washington County Cattlemen seek Beef Queen, Princess applicants

The Washington County Cattlemen are seeking Beef Queen and Princess applicants.

Requirements include an interest in beef cattle production, parents being involved with beef production, a willingness to promote beef as well as attend a school in the Washington County area. Girls between the ages of 14-18 can apply.

We are also offering our annual scholarship to a graduating senior. Requirements include being a Washington County resident and parents being a Washington County Cattlemen’s member. The award recipient is majoring in an agricultural field.

New this year, we are offering a Young Rancher's Grant. This will be available to a graduating high school senior or a returning college student who is starting an operation or returning to the farm. The grant could help offset costs associated with starting or expanding a beef enterprise.

All applications are due Feb. 1, 2023.
