Today, we remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

This Memorial Day, as we gather with family and friends around the grill, we are reminded that the freedoms we enjoy, including the simple joy of sharing a good meal, come at a cost.

From all of us at the Indiana Beef Cattle Association, thank you to our heroes. We remember, we honor, and we will never forget.

IBCA was proud to represent Indiana in Washington, D.C. at the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Legislative Conference last week. Indiana had a strong voice at the table, advocating for issues that directly impact our producers back home.

As BEEF Leader mentee and Purdue University vet student Cole Wilcox shared, “If we don’t show up and talk about these issues, our legislators won’t hear about them."

Looking to diversify your operation with a steady, dependable income stream? Federal contracting offers reliable stability — regardless of what’s happening in traditional livestock industries.

The Bureau of Land Management – Eastern States is expanding its Off-Range Corral network and is seeking qualified contractors to help care for America’s wild horses and b***os. This expansion creates real opportunities for landowners who have the space, capability, and livestock management experience to contract with an incredible federal program.

If you’re located in a state east of or bordering the Mississippi River and have a passion for these iconic animals, this is your opportunity to generate additional income, support jobs in your community, and make a lasting impact.

Ready to become a steward of America’s wild heritage? The BLM Wild Horse and B***o Program wants YOU to get involved! Read the full Solicitation Notice, learn more about the program, and contact the BLM here :
