Why should you join MSGA?

We are a membership organization with a 135+ YEAR HISTORY of advocating on behalf of Montana cattle ranchers to ensure cattle ranching remains relevant, safe, & a sustainable way of life for generations to come.

We are the TRUSTED VOICE of cattle ranchers, an ADVOCATE of cattle ranching for state and federal legislators and a TRUE PARTNER in efforts to preserve & advance Montana’s cattle ranching industry.

We are a coalition of cattle ranchers, led by cattle ranchers, who honor the past & embrace the future. Our livelihood and identity are tied to the Montana cattle industry.

We listen directly to Montana cattle ranchers to identify challenges, develop policy, changes, and foster conversations to generate new knowledge and connections that benefit Montana cattle ranchers & their families, our communities, and our industry. We ensure that the importance of healthy, profitable, family-owned cattle ranches is known and understood across the state and outside of the cattle industry. We work directly with local, state, and federal decision makers on policies and regulation that benefit Montana cattle ranches and ranching families.

Our work matters because strong ranches make for a strong economy, both locally and regionally. They are the cornerstone of Montana’s economy and our history, sustaining local businesses, banks, schools, and rural communities all across the state. Our work matters because we are the connection point between local ranchers and legislative decision makers, cattle producers and general consumers, and between all cattle ranchers across Montana. Our work matters because without us, there is no collective voice for cattle ranchers advocating for change and accountability at the state and federal levels.

Please consider joining MSGA today to help secure the future of Montana’s ranching families!  As a member, your voice grows louder. You join a community collectively committed to preserving your livelihood not only for you, but for generations to come. MSGA’s mission is clearly defined as protecting and enhancing Montana ranch families’ ability to grow and deliver safe, healthy and environmentally wholesome beef to the world. Achieving successful results on our mission depends on the commitment and dedication of hard working Montana ranchers such as you!
