From Minnesota to Washington, D.C. 🇺🇸

Members of the Minnesota State Cattlemen’s Association took their voices to Capitol Hill this week, advocating for the hardworking cattle producers who help feed our nation. From discussing key industry issues such as delisting the gray wolf and support for Farm Bill 2.0 to building relationships with lawmakers, this trip was all about ensuring a strong future for Minnesota’s cattle industry.

We’re proud to advocate for our producers, our rural communities and the next generation of cattlemen.
