Yavapai Cattle Growers Association Annual Dinner & Meeting

Our Annual Dinner was a resounding success, bringing together over 100 attendees for an evening of community, conversation, and support for a great cause. Guests enjoyed a delicious meal, generous fellowship, and outstanding speakers—including the inspiring Karrin Taylor Robson. Thanks to the incredible support from our members and donors, we raised over $10,000 for the YCGA Crisis Fund and brought in more than $2,000 through auction item donations. We’re grateful to everyone who joined us—your support helps strengthen and sustain our ranching community.

YCGA Benefit Team Roping

The 2nd Annual Team Roping in Camp Verde was a tremendous success, drawing in an impressive 350 teams from across the region. The turnout exceeded expectations and highlighted the growing popularity of the event. With top-notch competition, great sportsmanship, and a strong sense of community, it was a day to remember for ropers and spectators alike. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event one for the books!
