NDCW 75th Anniversary | ND CattleWomen

June 12–13, 2026 | 75th Anniversary State Convention | Bismarck, ND

Thank You, District 5 CattleWomen!

The North Dakota CattleWomen extend our sincere appreciation to District 5 CattleWomen for hosting the 2026 NDCW State Convention and our special 75th Anniversary Celebration in Bismarck.

Celebrating 75 years was an important milestone for North Dakota CattleWomen, providing an opportunity to honor the women whose leadership, dedication, and service have shaped our organization while looking forward to the future of beef education, promotion, and advocacy.

Through the dedication and hard work of District 5 CattleWomen, members from across North Dakota came together for two meaningful days of education, fellowship, recognition, and celebration. The convention offered opportunities to learn from outstanding speakers, exchange ideas, reconnect with longtime friends, build new relationships, and recognize the generations of CattleWomen who have contributed to our organization’s proud history.

Thank you, District 5 CattleWomen, for your tremendous commitment, hospitality, and attention to detail in making our 75th Anniversary State Convention a memorable celebration. Your efforts helped us honor our past, celebrate the present, and look confidently toward the future of North Dakota CattleWomen.

Honoring Our Legacy. Educating Today. Building the Future of Beef.

Honoring the Legacy, Driving the Future:

Celebrating 75 Years of North Dakota CattleWomen

For nearly 75 years, the North Dakota CattleWomen (NDCW) have been the heartbeat of beef promotion and education across our state. From county fairs to classrooms, libraries to legislative halls, generations of CattleWomen have carried one mission to tell the story of beef, support our ranching families, and strengthen the connection between producers and consumers.

As we approach this remarkable milestone, we’re preparing something truly special the North Dakota CattleWomen 75th Anniversary History Book and State Convention Celebration, coming June 12–13, 2026, in Bismarck, North Dakota.

This commemorative project will honor the women, families, and communities who have helped build and sustain our organization from its beginnings in 1951 to today. Every story matters whether it’s a local beef promotion at a county fair, a classroom visit that inspired a student, or a lifetime of dedication to agriculture and education.

75th Anniversary Cookbook Project

As part of our 75th Anniversary celebration, North Dakota CattleWomen is proud to create a commemorative 75th Anniversary Cookbook—a collection of recipes that reflect our members, families, traditions, and the heritage of ranch life across North Dakota. This special cookbook will preserve favorite recipes shared across generations.
