LINCOLN, NE (May 24, 2022) – Today, the Nebraska Cattlemen Foundation (NCF) announced Miss TaraLee Hudson of Belvidere, Nebraska, as the 2022 Nebraska Cattlemen Beef State Scholar. 

TaraLee will be a senior at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln this fall, where she currently maintains a 4.0 GPA while double majoring in Animal Science and Agriculture Economics with a minor in Nebraska Beef Industry Scholars. TaraLee is very active in the beef industry through leadership roles in 4-H, FFA, Nebraska Junior Angus Association, Nebraska Angus Association, National Junior Angus Association, Nebraska Beef Ambassador Program, and the Young Nebraska Cattlemen.


Miss TaraLee Hudson stated, “It is a great honor to be selected as the recipient of the Nebraska Cattlemen Foundation’s Beef State Scholarship. Having grown up on a cow/calf operation in southeastern Nebraska, the beef industry has had an especially impactful role in shaping my identity, as well as my career goals. This scholarship will be instrumental in helping me to finance my ongoing education, which will ultimately allow me to pursue a career in which I can positively impact Nebraska’s beef industry in the same way it has impacted me.”


Loren Berger, Vice President of NCF said, “When selecting our prestigious Nebraska Cattlemen Beef State Scholar, the Foundation looks for several student qualities, including a desire to continue working in the beef industry, a passion for agriculture, and a dedication to academic excellence. TaraLee Hudson is a distinguished scholar who encompasses all of these traits and more. We congratulate TaraLee on her success and look forward to watching her continue to grow in her pursuit of bettering the beef industry.”
