Who and What is the Ontario Cattlemen’s Association?

The Ontario Cattlemen’s Association (OCA) is a grassroots organization that provides leadership to cattlemen from all sectors of the industry. A unified voice for 19,000 beef farmers in Ontario, OCA advocates on behalf of its members in the areas of government lobbying, policy planning, industry development programs, promoting beef and developing domestic and export markets.

OCA is governed by its producer members and an elected board of 12 directors selected annually by members representing cow/calf, feedlot and back-grounding sectors from all regions of the province.
