CPoW meeting features speakers, dinner and fun

Cattle Producers of Washington (CPoW) will hold their annual meeting Friday, October 21, at the Pillar Rock Grill in Moses Lake from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The cost of the all-day and evening event is $60. Two panel discussions will be offered. One focuses on the CPoW livestock processing facility planned for the Odessa Industrial Park, as well as on the marketing of meats. The second will concentrate on wolves in Washington state. There will be time for questions from the audience.

A U.S. beef prime-rib dinner will be served from 6 to 9 p.m. and will include entertainment by the popular Dave McClure, cowboy humorist, musician and songwriter. This portion, if purchased separately, will be $40.

Speakers will bring producers up to date on important issues facing the industry, along with a trade show from some of the event sponsors. So make plans to attend and support CPoW, the “only” organization that speaks exclusively for the Washington state cow/calf producer.
