Welcome to the Tennessee
Cattlemen's Association online!
The beef industry is a vital
component of Tennessee’s economy and the role of the Tennessee
Cattlemen’s Association is to protect and promote the beef industry
and help educate our cattlemen here in the Volunteer State.
TCA works on the county, regional, state and national levels to
fight for and protect the interests of Tennessee’s cattlemen and
cattlewomen. Some of the issues in which TCA has worked on in the
past include private property rights, animal welfare, elk
reintroduction, taxes, environmental concerns, and state fencing
regulations.
Goals actively
being pursued on behalf of the Tennessee cattle producers:
• Permanent repeal of the “death” tax
• Securing a common-sense, least cost
approach to National Animal ID program
• Building a positive image of the industry in
the eye of the public
TCA's mission
The mission of
the Tennessee Cattlemen's Association is to
provide the cattle feeders and producers in
the State of Tennessee with an organization
through which they may function collectively
to protect their interests and work toward
the solution of cattle industry problems;
and to build the necessary good-will that
will bring both governmental and public
esteem and recognition to the industry.
