We Are the Voice of Colorado’s Livestock Industry Representing Colorado’s livestock producers with a unified voice by advancing the interests of members, livestock and the public. Organization Overview Colorado Livestock Association was formed in 1998 through a restructuring of the then 43-year-old Colorado Cattle Feeders Association. The new name and structure was designed to better reflect the membership of the association. CLA members are cattle & sheep feeders, cow/calf producers, dairy farmers, swine operations, & agribusiness partners. In 1955, what started as a group of cattle feeders working to eradicate a disease (red nose), has grown into a multispecies organization; working to strengthen & unite animal agriculture in Colorado for future generations. With its headquarters located in Greeley, CLA advocates on behalf of its members in the regulatory & legislative arenas in Colorado. Advocacy, Governance & Outreach From testifying at the capitol to participating in rulemaking hearings at the Department of Health, CLA is your boots on the ground partner in addressing regulatory & legislative issues. As a group of diversified protein producers, we may not always agree on the details of every message, but we all understand that a message coming from our collective membership is much more effective than from each of us individually.
