WHAT WE DO

Not your typical cattlemen’s association…

THE POWER OF GRASSROOTS STRENGTH

The United States Cattlemen’s Association (USCA) remains unwavering in its main policy priority: strengthening the bottom line of the U.S. cattle producer. We know that for your operation to be sustainable for future generations, it must first be profitable. We witnessed the power of grassroots strength this year as we tackled issues like truth in labeling and Hours-of-Service reform, and we look forward to continuing that momentum for many years to come.

Our policy committees worked overtime this year to ensure our success on Capitol Hill. Learn more below!
