Hall of Fame

The Iowa Cattlemen's Association annually honors someone who has contributed a great deal of time and effort in promoting the beef cattle industry of Iowa.

Iowa has occupied a dominant position in the cattle industry. Ranking as a leading state in the number of cattle fed and in beef cow numbers, it is only fitting that some type of recognition will be made at the Iowa Cattle Industry Convention.

Please consider completing a nomination form for anyone your county has recognized in the past three to five years who has significantly had an impact on the industry. What better way to honor a valued member than to nominate them for the ICA Hall of Fame award?

Nominations are due to [email protected] by Nov. 10, 2024.
