CCA WINS IN 2025

The ongoing support of California’s ranching community is key to CCA’s success. Together we are making a difference. With your help, we secured major victories in 2025, including:

Secured $2 million in renewed State Budget funding to compensate ranchers harmed by gray wolves
Passed legislation to legalize on-ranch composting of routine livestock mortalities
Extended an agricultural vehicle exemption from CHP’s Basic Inspection of Terminals program through legislation signed by the Governor
Quashed efforts before the California Fish & Game Commission to curtail management of coyotes
Continued to advocate for and see an increase in the use of prescribed fire and livestock grazing as a fire-fuels treatment on state-owned lands
Coordinated increased USDA support for New World Screwworm detection and prevention efforts at the Mexico/California border

Our work is far from complete, and we remain committed to advocating for ranching in Sacramento and Washington, DC. With your help and resilience, we will be laser-focused on achieving more victories throughout 2026.
