What is a Cattle Woman and what do we do? The most common misconception about
PNCW is that you have to live on a ranch and own cattle to become a member.
In reality, the Placer-Nevada Cattlewomen are made up of folks with many different life styles. The one thing that we all have in common is that we want to protect the future of the beef industry whether it's to protect our family farm, help our children understand agriculture, or simply that we love the taste of a good steak! We achieve success in our mission by hosting and participating in many community events that get the word out about the industry and raise money to support the future of the beef industry through the youth
that will one day take over our mission to support beef.
Our meetings are held on the fourth Wednesday of most months of the year.
During months the regional fairs are held (June, August, and September),
come visit us at our booth or the Red Barn.
