Are you a livestock photographer enthusiast? Submit your best cow pictures in our contest!
(Sara Brown)

She’s the hardest working one on your farm or ranch, and our new photo contest is focused right on her!

Yes, our Drovers team celebrates the hard-working farm mothers that keep us all in line, especially around Mother’s Day. But this year, we want to see pictures of your best momma cows! 

Bulls might be genetic influencers, but momma cows are the ones that keep the herd moving and calves growing.

To enter, email your favorite photo of your herd’s leading lady to sbrown@farmjournal.com by May 15th. We’ll post the collection on Drovers’ Facebook page on May 16 for voting by your peers.

There are no rules for that voting process, so you’d best share your entry with everyone you know! The entry with the most likes/reactions will win a Drovers hat, special feature on the Drovers Facebook page and be featured in a Drovers article with the top 10 winners. You might even it see it in an upcoming issue of Drovers magazine.
