The goal of the San Luis Obispo County CattleWomen's Beef Ambassador Program is to create and implement a youth spokesperson development plan that contributes to increased beef consumption and dispels myths and misconceptions held by consumers and peers.. The 2011 San Luis Obispo County Beef Ambassador workshop is open to all county youth and will be held on the afternoon of February 12, 2011 at 3:00 p.m. in the SLO County Farm Bureau Conference Room.

There are two divisions: Junior Division ages 14 to 16 years; and Senior Division 17 to 20 years old. Winners in both divisions receive a free trip to compete representing San Luis Obispo County at the state level and become eligible for even more cash prizes and scholarships. The winner at the state level will go on to represent California at the national level. |
Further information about the program such as the national rules are available at www.nationalbeefambassador.org. The impromptu questions from the judges are derived from the website www.explorebeef.org , and the website also offers contestants a good source of factual information about the beef industry. |
