Willcox Cowbelles

Willcox Cowbelles The Willcox Cowbelles a Non profit Organization Est. in 1946 to Promote & Educate about Beef Industry Willcox Cowbelles was founded in September 1946.

“The Cowbelles” was organized as a social club by sixteen ranch wives in Douglas, a town in the very southeastern corner of Arizona, on October 17, 1939. The group’s purpose was “to promote family and social relations between cattle people and to cooperate for the best interests of our industry, our community, and our country”. Their Marguerite Cook Memorial Scholarship was founded in 1977 and has

since awarded over $100,000 to eligible recipients that are from an agriculture family or that are pursuing an agriculture degree. Community Service include supporting the local FFA, 4H , Willcox Art League and Local Food Bank. Provide ranch history displays in partnership with local Historical Societies and Chamber of Commerce activities in Willcox and Pearce/Sunsites. We also provide and serve Cakes at the Annual Willcox Livestock Auction Bull Sale.
