Arizona Cattle Growers' Association has been around for more than a century! Now with new officers and a number of new board members, we view ourselves as merely an extension of you. We are ranchers, we tend to our cattle, we work our land, and we fix, repair, and provide infrastructure to our herds. But to know where you're going, you need to know where you've come from.


The first meeting occurred in Tucson in October 1903, ACGA was formed with seventy-eight members in January 1904. Originally some of the goals were to protect the cattle industry from rustlers and brand tampering. Since then, ACGA has expanded its efforts to include education on such topics as cattle management, grazing, wildlife habitat, wilderness, water rights, taxation, and land ownership. ACGA lobbies on your behalf on all these issues and more. ACGA has long been the organization that state, federal, and other public government officials turned to for advice on these issues. ACGA has always had members who were very influential in Arizona politics, many of whom have served in the Arizona legislature. The cattle industry amounts to approximately 18% of Arizona's economy. As in 1903, we are a vital component of the Arizona economy. We not only feed Arizona, be we also help feed the world.

~Mike Gannuscio, Proud to be ACGA President
