More than 150 Bates County producers filtered into the Adrian Optimist Community Center Sat, Jan. 17 for their Annual Meeting. They were welcomed by classic country tunes from “Sweet Water” and tempted with the savory smell of Butthead BBQ’s prime rib. Awards given during the Annual Meeting: Colt Cumpton, 2008 “Gonna Be Great” Jr. Cattleman; Alan Black, 2008 Cattleman of the Year; Jack Baker, 2008 Pioneer of the Year; Missy Good, 2008 Cattlewoman of the Year; and Brad and Myra Colin, 2008 Friends of BCJC.
