The Nevada Cattlemen's Association, Nevada Land Action Association, Nevada CattleWomen's Association and Nevada Wool Grower’s Association invite you to the 90th Annual Joint Convention & Trade Show.
The 90th Annual Nevada Cattlemen’s Association Convention and Trade Show will be held on November 13-15, 2025, at the Elko Conference Center in Elko, NV.
As NCA members around the state gather in Elko, we will celebrate a lifetime of traditions, revise and review policies, receive industry updates, and take the opportunity to enjoy our friends and neighbors. At the convention members of the Nevada Cattlemen’s Association, guest speakers, and vendors who provide services to the beef cattle industry will join together to celebrate the Nevada livestock industry.
NCA staff and officers are working hard to provide you with a memorable and educational experience.
NCA’s policy committees will meet prior to the convention to discuss new issues or resolutions to be proposed and will also review expiring resolutions. These meetings are the initial step in setting the Association’s policies that help guide staff, officers, and members in responding to the various issues that impact Nevada’s cattle industry. Participation in the resolution process is a great way to get involved and have your voice heard. For more information on each committee or suggestions on any new or expiring resolutions, please contact the NCA office.
