It is the purpose of the Missouri Cattlemen's Association to provide representation on behalf of our members specific to the beef industry and the effects legislative and regulatory actions have on the profitability and viability of their businesses.

 

Much of MCA’s focus is in the area of government affairs.  It is our strong belief that producers, as citizens, should be tireless in their protection of their rights and their businesses.  If you want to see what’s happening for yourself, you can watch the actions of the Missouri General Assembly, or find your elected officials by linking yourself to either the Missouri House or Senate and then searching the database.

Cattlemen at the Capitol

 

Each Wednesday throughout the legislative session Missouri Cattlemen's Association hosts Cattlemen at the Capital. Several affiliate counties take a day to go to the capitol and speak with legislators about what is important to their businesses and livelihoods. Cattlemen's at the Capitol is a great way to get your voice heard in the legislature as you are the one speaking.
