The New Mexico Cattle Growers’ Association (NMCGA) is pleased to announce the introduction of the “NMCGA Heritage Buckle” in all 33 counties of New Mexico. Children and young adults ages 9 to 21 are eligible for the contest. Entries require a 200 to 500 word essay on the “Value that you place on the Heritage of the cattle industry and ranching in New Mexico.”
Essay submission deadlines will be dependent on the specific county fair’s date. NMCGA board members, county fair board members and the Heritage Buckle sponsors will collaborate in deciding the final winners. Each winner will receive a buckle and 1 year junior membership with NMCGA.
“The development of New Mexico youth is of the upmost importance to the future of agriculture and the beef industry. We are extremely thankful for our sponsors who have also recognized the importance of this,” said Randell Major, NMCGA President.
