Riding for the Brand


​Serving as the voice of the beef industry in New Mexico since 1914, New Mexico Cattle Growers’ Association was established to assist livestock producers in the State of New Mexico. Since that time, the Association has worked to ensure that the rights of livestock producers are protected. Over its 100 year history, the Association has served the livestock industry faithfully. That tradition continues today. NMCGA currently has members in all 33 of New Mexico’s Counties as well as some 19 other states. Representing cattlemen from the Roundhouse in Santa Fe to the halls of Congress. Wherever the arena - regulatory, statutory or the courts - New Mexico Cattle Growers' Association is there.
