“It is an honor to receive a Cattlemen’s Association scholarship,” said Caleb Limpert. “I am excited to keep learning, growing, and finding ways to give back to the agriculture industry.”
The Tennessee Cattlemen’s Association believes in investing in the future. “These impressive young adults have a deep interest in the agricultural industry. They are the future of the cattle business, and we look forward to seeing where their educational endeavors lead them,” said Melinda Hart, TCA Director of Youth Programs & Outreach.
TCA is honored to recognize these young leaders with scholarships and wishes them the best this academic year.
TCA was founded in 1985 and has over 5,000 members from across the state and the southeast. The organization works to provide the cattlemen of Tennessee with an organization through which they may function collectively to protect their interests and work toward the solution of cattle industry problems and to build the necessary goodwill that will bring both governmental esteem and recognition to the industry.
