CCA WINS IN 2024

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 2024, including:

  • Securing renewed funding for the Department of Fish & Wildlife’s Wolf-Livestock Compensation Program in the FY 2024-25 State Budget despite a dire budget deficit.

  • Successfully killing a legislative effort to subsidize “alternative protein” research and development in both the 2025 Budget and the Climate Bond (Proposition 4).

  • Advancing a bill, signed by the Governor that streamlines CAL FIRE’s contracting ability to speed up large-scale prescribed fires.

  • Defeating legislation that would have imposed significant costs upon ranchers by requiring routine inspections of any gates weighing more than 50 pounds with a width of 4 feet or more or a height of 7 feet or more.

  • Enshrining the environmental benefits of livestock grazing in state policies such as the California Natural Resources Agency’s Natural and Working Lands Climate Smart Strategy and 30×30 Initiative, and CARB’s Scoping Plan for Achieving Carbon Neutrality, among others.

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 2025.
