Montana Stockgrowers Association

Details

DescriptionThe Montana Stockgrowers Association protects and enhances Montana ranch families’ ability to grow and deliver safe, healthy, sustainably produced beef to the world. We are a grassroots non-profit membership organization with over 140-years of history advocating on behalf of Montana cattle ranchers. MSGA is the trusted voice of cattle ranchers, an advocate for cattle ranching, and a true partner in efforts to preserve and advance Montana’s cattle industry while preserving Montana’s complex natural landscape, history, culture, economy, ethics, and social values.

Of all the western states, Montana alone has a statutory network of State Grazing Districts cooperative areas of diverse ownership that allow for the greatest use of range forage while conserving limited natural resources. Grazing districts are non-profit, cooperative associations of ranchers and farmers who raise livestock. The Montana Grass Conservation Act of 1939 organized these cooperative grazing areas into 26 districts-which include federal grazing lands mingled with state, county and private lands-encompassing more than 10 million acres. Today there are 29 total districts, concentrated in the eastern part of the state.Home PageMontana Stock Growers AssociationCollectionMontana Association of State Grazing Districts Records
