The New Mexico CowBelles' Creed
Believing that the livestock industry is of basic importance
to world existence, we, the New Mexico CowBelles dedicate
ourselves to support it with our labor and finances; to promote
it through information and publicity; to encourage its producers
with our understanding and love; to do all in our power to
instill in the coming generation the love of the land and of
life, the humility and awe before nature and the hope and faith
in the future that is inherent in cattlemen and cattlewomen.

New Mexico CowBelles....THEN:
The first CowBelles meeting was held in Douglas, Arizona on
October 17, 1939. At that time
membership was limited to rancher's
wives or daughters or women who owned their own brand and cattle and was
more of a social club than a livestock industry advocate.
The first local chapter of New
Mexico CowBelles (NMCB) was founded in 1957, when Pat Nowlin, an Arizona
CowBelle moved to New Mexico with her family. She was instrumental in
getting a group of like-minded women together and served as the New
Mexico CowBelles first president. |
New Mexico CowBelles...NOW:
New Mexico CowBelles are women banded together by their common interest
in the Beef
Industry and related agribusinesses. Many members
have a financial interest in the Beef Industry, but membership is open
to any woman interested in the welfare of the Beef Industry and
willing to promote Beef.
New Mexico CowBelles are instrumental in
disseminating nutritional information to people of all ages
through volunteering at schools, fairs, and events across the state and
at regional and national conventions. They are the face of the industry
as they man the New Mexico Beef Council booth during the
New Mexico State Fair (Expo New
Mexico). |
