Our Events

MSGA events let you connect with fellow cattle ranchers to learn, share new ideas and old stories, and to keep current on new and emerging trends, regulation, and topics affecting our 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 and their families, our communities, and our industry.

Producer Profitability Initiative

The Producer Profitability Initiative is a grassroots movement started by cattle ranchers and led by cattle ranchers who have a vision to create a sustainable future for the American livestock industry. This initiative is intended to encompass ranchers of all ages, management styles, operations large and small, feedlot operators, affiliate businesses, private property owners, and supporters of the livestock industry whose livelihood and identity are tied to ranching and whose focus is to ensure the sustainability of the American livestock industry while providing security for the domestic food supply.

A great organization that helps the Montana rancher.
