Editor's Note: THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. Find out the winners here.

We're celebrating the hard working men and women who make our beef industry so great with a photo contest sponsored by Twisted X. We asked readers to submit their favorite photos of ranching families working and enjoying country life.

We received nearly 200 entries and had the difficult task of selecting our finalists. Congratulations to the 20 photos that made the cut.

Check out the complete gallery of entries here.

Thanks for your participation!
