DENVER — The Colorado Cattlemen’s’ Association (CCA) Mid-Winter Conference, held on January 15-17 in Denver, focused on agriculture-related issues that will be addressed during the 2018 session of Colorado’s General Assembly. Committee meetings were also held during the conference, which help establish the organization’s policies and stance on a wide range of legislative and regulatory topics impacting Colorado’s beef industry.

“CCA operates through its diverse and broad membership throughout Colorado; that represents the majority of beef cattle production, private land ownership, state and federal lands grazing, businesses, and those who advocate for the industry,” said Todd Inlee, President of CCA.

CCA members gather for the conference to gain knowledge about their industry, create policy that drives their trade association, and present awards to those who have served the state’s beef industry in an exemplary fashion.

Receiving the Outstanding Seedstock Producer of the Year award was the T-Heart Ranch, owned and operated by Shane and Beth Temple of Center.
