The Fairfield County Cattlemen’s Association is one of more than 60 official “county affiliates” of the Ohio Cattlemen’s Association (OCA). In turn, the OCA is an affiliate of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA).
In case you didn’t know, NCBA employs full time staff to represent the interests of the beef cattle industry in Washington D.C. In addition, each spring NCBA staff work with representatives of all the state affiliates – including Ohio – as they go to the Capitol to participate in the legislative conference.
The recent edition of NCBA’s Cattlemen to Cattlemen show embedded below highlights the efforts of all those who participated in the 2017 conference. If you’ve ever wondered what your local, state and national beef cattle organizations do for you, take a few minutes and enjoy the April 18 edition of the show. With the recent concerns over the continuation of NAFTA and other foreign trade agreements, the work done in Washington by your representatives of the beef cattle industry has perhaps, never been more important.
As a special added feature, near the 24 minute mark you’ll also find a feature on the 30th annual Ohio Beef Expo!
