Click image for larger view The Sandhills are 19,300 square miles of rolling, grass-covered hills that stretch across Nebraska and South Dakota and sit atop the Ogallala aquifer, one of the largest underground water sources in the United States. This location, along with an abundance of water and over 700 species of grasses, makes the Sandhills a prime grazing area for cattle. The area is often called "God's Own Cow Country." Cattle ranching is the lifeblood of this region and the Sandhills ranchers take their jobs seriously. They strive to produce better cattle that will be profitable for both the producer and feeder, yet cost justifiable to the packer and provide safe, nutritious and great tasting beef for the consumer.
2009 EP&C Contest Set
Wednesday, November 5 is the entry date for the 2009 Educational, Performance and Carcass Contest. This year we will feed the cattle again at Ainsworth Feed Yard, Ainsworth, Ne. We are planning on feeding a pen of steers and a pen of heifers. We are asking contestants to notify the office by October 24 if they plan to enter calves so we can plan accordingly. We will be helping to make arrangements for transportation and will need to know how many head to plan for. Also Lancaster Livestock Supply of Cody and Y-Tex will once again donate the ear tags for the contest. We appreciate their contribution and will have tags available prior to entry day. The complete set of rules can be downloaded by following the link to the left. If you have questions or need more information, feel free to contact the SCA office or any of the committee members. EP&C Contest Committee members are: Denny Bammerlin, Duane Kime, Tim Evans, Rob Brawner, Ken Colburn and Robb Cook.
SCA will pay NYBLS Registration Fees
The sixth annual Nebraska Youth Beef Leadership Symposium will be held November 15-17. Once again, the Sandhills Cattle Association will pay the registration fee for up to five qualified students who want to attend the symposium. Past participants give it very high marks. The symposium will be held at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Animal Science Complex. The symposium is designed to introduce high school youth to careers opportunities and current issues in the beef industry, as well as offer education and practice in the use of leadership skills. Six participants in the symposium will be awarded a $500 College of Agriculture and Natural Resources scholarship. Lodging for two nights and all meals are provided, however, transportation to and from Lincoln is the responsibility of the participant and his or her family. Students will participate in activities such as: goal setting and leadership development, tour the University research facility at Mead, Ne.; participate in a taste panel with Chef Jay McCarthy and Dr. Chris Calkins; hands-on presentation on innovative cattle production practices; network with beef industry leaders and symposium sponsors and develop a marketing plan for a beef product. The Sandhills Cattle Association will pay the registration fee for students whose parents are members of the Association and who complete the short registration form including writing a short essay, 250 words or less, answering the question “Why are you interested in attending the Nebraska Youth beef Leadership Symposium?” The essay and the completed registration form must be submitted to the SCA office before Wednesday, October 15. The symposium is limited to 50 participants. Registration forms are available on the website that can be printed off and mailed to the SCA office. Contact the SCA office for more information.NYBLS Registration Form (pdf)
