We had a great turnout for our Mason County Cattlemen’s Association Summer Meeting last night!

Dr. Jessie Lay gave a wonderful presentation on current pest and disease threats affecting Kentucky cattle and shared some great information for our local producers.

We were also excited to recognize our 2026 Mason County Cattlemen’s Association Scholarship recipient, Josie Phillips!

Our association is growing and we are proud to now have more than 90 members in Mason County! Anyone and everyone is welcome at our seasonal meetings, we would love to have you!
