Each year, the Alabama Cattlemen’s Foundation awards Tagged for Greatness scholarships to deserving youth from Alabama’s livestock industry. These scholarships are funded through the sale of the “Cowboy Tag,” which is available at the county tag office and is approved for vehicles up to 10,000 pounds.

The beef industry is the second-largest segment of Alabama’s farm economy, representing a $2-billion industry with annual sales of cattle and calves exceeding $450 million.

The Alabama Cattlemen’s Association, founded in 1944, is one of the nation’s largest state cattlemen’s associations with an annual membership of 12,000. For more information about the ACA, visit its Web site at www.bamabeef.org.
