The National Cattlemen’s Foundation is seeking contributions from individuals, corporations, associations and foundations with a vested interest in supporting young people that will strengthen the beef industry. Every single gift, no matter its amount, is important to the success of the program.

The Environmental Stewardship Award

Recognizes the outstanding stewardship practices and conservation achievements of U.S. cattle producers. For nearly two decades, regional and national award winners have been honored for their commitment to protecting the environment and improving fish and wildlife habitat.

Education & Leadership

Encouraging young people to get involved in agriculture is key to our future. Providing producers with the education tools to be profitable will keep the beef industry successful. The foundation is proud to provide scholarships, producer education programs and leadership development for the industry.

I believe we are at a similar point...

... that the late W.D. Farr was 35 years ago when his vision directed us to move forward with the National Cattlemen’s Foundation. The next 35 years will be as exciting as the past. We want you to join us on this valuable journey in preserving the cattlemen’s legacy.

- Bob Josserand (Board of Trustees)
