10 NEBRASKA CATTLEMAN November 2025 As combines roll across the fields and the weather begins to cool, preparations for winter are underway – and it’s hard to believe this issue of Nebraska Cattleman already highlights our upcoming annual convention. Mark your calendars now and plan to join us in Kearney, Dec. 10-12. Beyond the chance to reconnect with fellow cattlemen and women from across the state, the heart of convention is the approval and adoption of the grassroots policy that guides our association’s work for the year ahead. This is your opportunity to be directly involved in the process that defines Nebraska Cattlemen leadership and advocacy efforts. Your voice and action truly shape the direction of our organization.
