Wanted: Stories of Stewardship
 
Annual Photo Contest
 
 
stew•ard•ship/ noun: the careful and responsible management of something entrusted to one's care.
The NDSA and the North Dakota State University (NDSU) Animal Sciences Department are looking for your most memorable stories of stewardship.
Raising beef requires the use of natural resources like land, water and energy.
 
Today, farmers and ranchers raise more beef using fewer natural resources including water than ever before.
Share your pictures and stories. They will be posted on NDSA's Livestock Stewardship webpage and facebook page, and on NDSU's Livestock Stewardship's facebook page.
 
 
 
Ready, set, shoot!
The NDSA is seeking ranch-related photos for the 2013 photo contest.
