The Arizona Cattle Growers' Association - Mission Statement
The Arizona Cattle Growers' Association (ACGA) was founded over 100 years ago when a small group of concerned cattlemen took it upon themselves to help structure the future of the cattle industry in this great state. Their primary concern, that there be orderly, systematic laws protecting livestock and property. On January 4, 1904, these dedicated cattlemen organized the Arizona Cattle Growers' Association (ACGA).

More than 100 years later, protecting Arizona's livestock industry is still ACGA's number one commitment. Today, the ACGA has grown into a vital organization representing more than 2,000 beef cattle producers and industry leaders throughout the state.

The ACGA will promote the common interest and perform the common responsibilities of its members by:

  • Performing federal and state legislative activities consisting of proposing and reviewing legislation, and lobbying for or against legislation, as in the best interest of ACGA.
  • Performing public relations activities that will promote the image and heritage of the ranching and cattle industry, build positive relationships with key individuals, media, agencies, consumers, schools, and others important to ranching and the cattle industry.
  • Initiate, enter into, defend, or prepare a response to litigation in the collective good of the common interest and importance.
  • Consistently provide timely and accurate information to the membership that is of common interest and importance.
  • Provide opportunities for members to become educated on issues of importance.
  • Maintain a strong and informed membership base.
  • Build alliances with common interest groups.
