About Cow Camp

At Cow Camp, we’re here to help you grow—whether you’re managing your first small herd, helping with the family operation, or exploring the cattle business from the ground up.
This hands-on program focuses on building practical skills, confidence, and connections for women looking to strengthen their knowledge of beef cattle management.

We provide a supportive, no-pressure environment where every question is welcome and learning is the goal.

  • Actively involved but want to understand management decisions better

  • Looking to gain confidence in hands-on cattle skills and herd management

What You’ll Gain:

  • Practical, real-world knowledge to apply immediately

  • Confidence to take a more active role in your cattle operation

  • New friendships and a strong network of women who share your goals
