Wilkes Co. cattlemen kick off Beef Month with Saturday's Cowboy Cook-Off and fun events
First place was taken by the Washington Wilkes FFA, led by advisor Tony White, and included Trent Martin and Kelsey Meeks. Their "Creole Marinated Flat-Iron Steak" was the top choice of judges Sam Moore, Chairman of the Wilkes County Board of Commissioners; Julie Watson, Georgia Beef Board; and Ron Ward, Regional Vice President for Georgia Cattlemen's Association. Salt Lick Barbecue Sirloin of Dr. Tracy Williams and Kim White took second place honors, while Carol Jackson's Ribeye Steaks with Blue Cheese Butter and Mushrooms took third.
Three young ladies participated in the Little Cowgirl Contest: Shelby White, Rebecca Pendrey, and Katie Pendrey. "This is our second Beef Cook- Off, and the Wilkes County Cattlemen's Association would like to give a special thanks to several people," Jeff Pendrey said. "Thanks to Bradley Barber of the Washington Farmer's Market for providing tents to some of our participants during the rain, and to McDonalds for providing gift bags for the children, to Tony White for helping to organize the event.
"We also thank Southern States for providing feed, calf milk, corral panels, games, and gifts for the children, Julie Watson of the Georgia Beef Board for providing games and information, Frank and Carol Jackson, Lauren Chafin,and Dennis and Laurie Dehil for providing live cattle on-site, to our judges of the Cowboy Cook-Off, and to all the members of the Wilkes County Cattlemen's Association who volunteered their time, talents, and efforts to help make this a success for all."
