WCLA, an affiliate of the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association, was founded in 1943 with the mission of strengthening the livestock industry in Weld County through youth education, scholarships and producer events. WCLA is also the voice of livestock producers from Weld County, providing input and leadership on policy at the local, state and national levels. Membership is open to all Weld County residents.
The WCLA board of directors would like to thank all those who contributed to the scholarship fund. Funds are raised through donations, the annual benefit calf auction held at Producers Livestock in Greeley, Colo., and other local events.
