ELKO - The Nevada Cattlemen's Association (NCA) recently held a Christmas social for young cattlemen interested in membership and participation in NCA's mission to promote, preserve and protect a dynamic and profitable Nevada beef industry. The meal, social and membership recruitment event was sponsored by Zoetis Animal Health and was held at the Red Lion Inn and Casino. Zoetis is an animal health pharmaceutical company that has always shown strong support to the livestock industry.
"We need membership of all ages but are actively seeking younger individuals", states Ron Torell, president of NCA. "Our present membership is aging while fewer young people are entering the industry willing to take on the many political issues that affect our lifestyle. We are seeking out those potential members between the ages of 18 and 40 who are actively involved in the production of beef cattle. The beef industry needs your membership and participation in the political activities of NCA," concludes Torell.
If you are interested in becoming a dues paying member of NCA and would like to be included in future NCA membership recruitment activities such as the recent Christmas social, please contact the NCA office at (775) 738-9214 or nca@nevadabeef.org.
The Nevada Cattlemen's Association is a non-profit trade association that was established in 1935. We provide a means for Nevada's cattle industry to present a united front on issues that impact us all. Our mission is to promote a dynamic and profitable Nevada beef industry which represents the interests of its producers and consistently meets the consumer's needs while increasing Nevada's market share. The Association works hard to protect private property, vested water and grazing rights. We achieve this through increased public awareness of our industry, and agriculture in general. The Association feels strongly that the future of rural Nevada depends on healthy viable land produced by Nevada ranchers.[[In-content Ad]]
