LAKEWOOD, Colo. - Colorado Cattlemen’s Association (CCA) is surging through the second day of the Annual Convention. Yesterday, we hosted three rounds of committee meetings focused on critical updates, education, and lively policy discussions. Each committee meeting allowed attendees to engage with experts in all sectors of the beef industry and discuss industry opportunities and challenges. Thank you to the committee members and guest speakers for participating and engaging.
During Monday's lunch, CCA also celebrated the 2025 Leopold Conservation Award winner, Wagon Wheel Ranch of Yuma, Colo. Congratulations again to the Rogers and Massey families for implementing various conservation practices on their working lands that benefit the livestock, natural resources, wildlife, and water of the ranch. Today’s schedule includes the eighth annual Ranching Legacy Symposium, a wolf issues update, a “Heading Home” campaign update and membership session.
