Ranchers are responsible stewards of federal lands, investing immeasurable amounts of time and millions of dollars in range improvement projects each year.  Public lands ranching is a positive partnership between federal agencies and western livestock operators.  It benefits western communities and the American public through land management, rural development, open space and preservation of the western way of life.

NCBA, along with the Public Lands Council works for the multiple-use management of public lands and urges the importance of the public lands grazing program for the United States. We continue to work on grazing reform efforts with government agencies and with Congress.
