The Maricopa County
Cattlewomen were established under the name Laveen Cowbelles in 1947 by
a group of women whose families were in the cattle industry. They were
a part of the Arizona State Cowbelles and also the American
Cattlewomen. Their goal was, and still is, the promotion of beef and
it's by-products.
The Group participates in
events such as the Arizona National Livestock Show, Arizona State Fair,
Arizona Pioneers, Ag-Days, Ag in the Classroom.
Meetings are held on the first
Wednesday of each month except June, July & August. Meetings
are held either at members homes or at restaurants. Local Dues are $10
per year.
