"The Cattlewomen's mission is to promote and
educate people about beef and nutrition." The
MSU Collegiate Cattlewomen's Association organizes a forum every
year. They choose a topic each year that is relevant
to the cattle ranching industry. Topics from past
forums have been BSE, E-coli, genetically modified
organisms, hormone additives and the use of animal
by-products in feed. The forum is a major component
of the MSU Cattlewomen's plan to educate the public.
