Wyoming Collegiate Cattle Association

Connecting Students to Wyoming’s Cattle Industry

Wyoming Collegiate Cattle Association (WCCA) is a recognized student organization open to all students interested in learning about the cattle industry. From ranch tours to speakers, WCCA is a tremendous opportunity for students to promote professional networking, tour progressive operations, and gain overall new perspectives in the dynamic cattle industry. As joint members of the Wyoming Stock Growers Association, the club works to promote the cattle business and its values throughout the state and the university. Not only will the club enhance leadership and communication skills, but it will also provide students with fun, hands-on learning experiences not acquired in a classroom setting. Annual activities for the club include, but are not limited to, biweekly meetings, guest speakers, fundraisers, and club trips. Anyone is able to join by simply showing up to a meeting!
