HR1221: HR1221 Coweta Cattlemen Association of Coweta County; commend

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring the Coweta Cattlemen Association, based in Newnan, Coweta County.

The resolution recounts the group's history of promoting best management practices, animal health, land stewardship, and beef quality assurance, as well as its work supporting agricultural education, youth livestock activities, and rural communities in Coweta County. It does not change any Georgia law; it simply expresses the House's appreciation and directs the Clerk of the House to send copies of the resolution to the association.
