Kids, Kows and More

Kids, Kows and More is an Agricultural Literacy event intended to expose elementary students to the process of producing, harvesting, processing & marketing agricultural products. Events are held in El Paso, Odessa, and Alpine throughout the school year. West of the Pecos Cattlewomen members are on hand to make the BEEF presentation; educating the classes not only on the health benefits of eating BEEF, but also on how often everyone uses the by-products of beef cattle daily!
