National beef associations promote beef-production efforts.
The beef industry in the United States is a vibrant and passionate community with thousands of cattlemen working daily to help ensure a profitable future. The National Cattlemen's Beef Association was created as an aid to cattlemen in their beef-production efforts, and several associated branches have been formed to tailor to the needs of current and future cattlemen.
National Cattlemen's Beef Association
The National Cattlemen's Beef Association, also known as the NCBA, started in 1898 in Denver. The group provides resources to cattlemen and future young producers through a variety of memberships, councils and conferences. The main goal of the association is to provide the beef industry with a unified plan to meet global needs and increasing demands. The association also aims to encourage fair treatment of farm animals and stewardship of the land. The organization has several different branches, including the Cattlemen's College, Quality Assurance and the Angus Foundation. Members can enjoy the "National Cattlemen's Magazine," and discounts at certain hunting- and fishing-supply stores and special promotions from some equipment manufacturers.
National Cattlemen's Foundation
The National Cattlemen's Foundation is an associated foundation of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. The foundation is focused on advancing the industry and its future by providing scholarship opportunities to young adults pursuing careers in agriculture and providing disaster and emergency relief to producers experiencing crisis situations. The foundation carries out the educational and scientific endeavors of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. There is a strong emphasis on educational and research opportunities to provide beef to the public in a wholesome and economical way.
Young Cattlemen's Conference
The Young Cattlemen's Conference is an associated branch of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association and is aimed toward developing leadership qualities in future cattlemen, exposing the younger generations to every aspect of the beef industry. Young cattle women can expect to understand the structure of the beef industry and the aspects of research and marketing through attendance at this national conference.
Young Producer's Council
The Young Producer's Council was developed to bring members between the ages of 18 and 35 together in an effort to create a council of younger cattlemen and women who will lead the future of the beef industry. It is directly associated with the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. The Young Producer's Council has the chance to send one council member to voice her opinions at each NCBA policy group committee.
