Nominations open for Livestock Inspector award

The New Mexico Cattle Growers Association (NMCGA) is seeking nominations for its annual Livestock Inspector of the Year Award.

Each year, the NMCGA honors an inspector employed by the New Mexico Livestock Board (NMLB) for outstanding service to the livestock industry.

“NMLB inspectors are a tremendous asset,” said Loren Patterson, NMCGA president. “Their presence in our communities and on our highways aid in fighting theft and disease, and they serve as our first defense in emergency situations, responding to the needs of all animals both large and small.”

Nominations should include the name and address of the inspector, as well as a brief narrative on why the nominee is deserving of the award. Please direct submissions to the NMCGA, P.O. Box 7517, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87194 or via email to [email protected].

The deadline for submissions is Nov. 22. The award will be presented during the 2022 Joint Stockmen’s Convention, slated for Dec. 14-17 at Hotel Albuquerque Old Town. For further information, contact the office at 505-247-0584.
