Thank you to everyone who submitted their photos for our “Honor Your Momma Cow” photo contest! We had a wide selection of colors, breeds, regions and situations represented, which show us how vast and exciting it is to be working in the beef industry.

Voting is now open!

The winner of the contest will be chosen by the total number of Like/Love/etc. reactions on each photo in the Drovers' Facebook album by midnight, Monday, May 27. So, share your entry with everyone you know! Here’s a shortcut to check out all the entries.

The winner will win a Drovers hat, a special feature on the Drovers Facebook page and be featured in a Drovers article with the top 10 winners. You might even see the photo in an upcoming issue of Drovers magazine.

Thank you to all who entered!
