The Oklahoma CattleWomen are honored to be hosting the 2023 ANCW Region IV Meeting & WIRED event May 5^th & 6^th, as we work together to cultivate successful and knowledgeable ranchers through hands-on experiences and trainings. The theme for this event, “Cultivating CattleWomen”, may sound familiar to you all because WIRED was the inspiration for my presidential platform! I am thrilled for OCW to once again partner with Kelli Payne to bring forth this event and am thankful for her generous sponsorship as our host.

We will kick off the weekend in the historic Stockyards City on Friday for the 2023 ANCW Region IV Meeting. Our meetings will take place at the Cattlemen's Steakhouse Special Event Center where we will hear from the newly installed 2023 ANCW President-Elect, Ruth Coffey, Region IV Director - Ddee Haynes, and Region IV Committee Representatives. You will have the chance to network with your fellow CattleWomen while working together to uplift the beef community. Enjoy a delicious lunch provided by Cattlemen's Steakhouse before you take a tour of the Oklahoma National Stockyards and Stockyards City Main Street! That night, CattleWomen will board a riverboat on the Oklahoma River as they enjoy hor dourves and refreshments.

With exciting guest speakers, workshops tailored to hot topics in the industry and hands-on learning opportunities, WIRED is the perfect place for all women with a passion for beef cattle to gather together! Join us for Saturday, May 6th at the Payne Ranch in Mustang, OK for an empowering chance to grow as an individual and advocate for the beef industry! Attendees will participate in a full day of sessions focusing on animal health, media training, machine safety and more. Lunch will be served onsite provided by Payne Ranch for a farm to fork experience. Attendees will leave with a special WIRED t-shirt and a newly found confidence in their ranching skills!

Registration is open to all members and non-members. You can register for one day or both! Go to okcattlewomen.org/regioniv-wired to claim your spot today. We do have a room block available for all of our out-of-town travelers.

Wising you all beef & blessings!
