Butte County Cattlewomen, "Cow Belle of the Year."

Today the Butte County Cattlewomen honored Andree Earley as 

"Cow Bell of the Year"

Andree grew up with a small cow-calf operation.  She showed 

cattle throughout the western United States very successfully and was 

one of the top youth showmen in California for many years.

Since that time, Andree along with her husband Sean and their two boys,

have developed a commercial beef herd along with a small group of 

registered Red Angus.  Andree is very active in the beef community, participating

 in many Cattlewomen and Cattlemen events in the State and the region.

In addition to family and ranch life, Andree has been the driving forces 

building one of the premier FFA chapters in the north state, at Las Plumas

in Oroville, where she has taught for six years.

For the Butte County Cattlewoman, Andree has revitalized the Beef

Ambassador program.  Seeing that her FFA students compete in both the 

junior and senior divisions.

Her commitment to young people is remarkable, and the Butte County 

Cattlewoman are proud to recognize her as member of the year.
