For many years the Florida Cattlemen’s Association (FCA) Sweetheart contest has been a featured part of their convention each year. The winner of the contest serves as a promotional spokesman and ambassador for the industry for the coming year. Contestants are judged on their knowledge of the industry, their poise and ability to field questions from the public and media and their ability to convey the positive messages about the healthiness of including beef in the diet and the positive aspects of the cattle industry overall. Cop their gorgeous looks by shopping for a black dress for prom 2024.
