SEDALIA, MISSOURI (June 13, 2021) - The Missouri Cattlemen’s Association hosted its 18th Annual Cattlemen’s Steak Fry on July 12 in the Agriculture Building located on the Missouri State Fairgrounds in Sedalia, Missouri. MCA President Patty Wood said more than 500 supporters of the association attended the event, which is intended to honor past MCA presidents and raise money for the MCA Political Action Committee (PAC).
“We had another fantastic event that truly did its part to recognize the leadership of our past presidents, while also raising funds to ensure we are effective in our legislative efforts,” said Wood, a cattle producer from LaMonte.
“We were honored to have Lieutenant Governor Mike Kehoe, a fellow cattleman, at the event. We also had Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler, Congressman Jason Smith, Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, Attorney General Eric Schmitt, State Treasurer Scott Fitzpatrick and many members of the General Assembly from both political parties. We appreciate all of them for coming.”
The event brought in over $50,000. All funds raised will benefit the association’s policy efforts.
“MCA is one of the most successful policy organizations representing the interests of Missouri farm and ranch families in the state. We get results. To achieve that, we must elect good leaders in Jefferson City and Washington, D.C., and many of them were present for the annual event,” said Wood.
