“Caterpillar has a rich heritage of engineering and manufacturing high quality equipment that delivers the performance and reliability farmers and ranchers demand,” said Andy Groseta, 2008 NCBA President. “This partnership means a lot to the leadership and membership of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association.”
