Summer Photo Contest
Well it’s summer time again, which in my family means several things: Branding, checking waters, and of course…county fairs! Oh yes, while most kids got to enjoy their summers sleeping in and lounging around the pool, my brother and I spent long hours grooming, training, exercising, and managing our show steers. It’s sad to say that those days are behind me now, but in honor of the showing season and the lessons of good stewardship and animal welfare that kids across the country learn in their beef production projects, we have a summer challenge for you!
Here’s the deal. The plans are a little rough in the making, but bear with us. We want to focus on the idea that your participation in showing cattle really encourages good stewardship of your animal. So, our mission for you is to capture those little moments of you washing your animal, leading him around, or how well you take care of them. Let your photo show how your involvement with the beef cattle production project really encourages you to be aware of animal welfare. So what we want from you is your best photo. Send it in to us at our email, which is raisingthesteaks@gmail.com. Feel free to include a caption about your picture. The contest deadline is October 1st, so you’re sure to have the perfect moment for a picture. Be sure to include an email adress where we can contact you. Photos will be judged, and a winner notified. Check back for more details as we get this contest rolling.
We have decided on prizes and they are as follows:
1st place: Digital Camera
2nd place: Beef shirt
3rd place: Check off hat
Alright….so are we good to go? Great. Get those cameras flashing!
So let the cutest kid and calf win!
