By Shelby Tichota

AHS junior Emily Jacobsen has been selected as the 2012 Cass County Beef Queen, and Amber Stender of Cumberland was chosen for Cass County Beef Princess. The two young women were chosen last month following interviews on April 21 according to Atlantic News Telegraph.
“The contest was reinstated in 2010 to get more youth involved, and to help promote and strengthen the beef industry by crowning a winner who will educate and promote the Beef Industry and beef prducts throught Cass County,” according to Atlantic News Telegraph.
To become a Queen you have to be between the ages 16 to 19 years old, you must live on a farm where beef is produced, and you must show beef in 4H or FFA.
“We as royalty are used for more promotions of the beef industry,” said Jacobsen. “We educate younger students about beef products and by-products, and other people about the importance of beef and everyday life.”
Jacobsen and Stender did a promotion on April 21 at Farmers Kitchen. They talked with the owner Charlene Johnson and congratulated the restaurant for its award as serving one of the top 10 burgers in Iowa.
The queen and princess also went to the Cass County Memorial Hospital on May 2, and gave the two newborn babies beef bibs and $25 beef certificates to celebrate May beef month. According to  Jacobsen,.“Our upcoming event will be on June 2  at the Atlantic City Park.” “We are holding a beef run for the community to celebrate beef month.”
The 2011 Beef Queen was Katelyn Blake of Atlantic.
