WELCOME TO THE HAWAII CATTLEMEN’S COUNCIL

The Hawaii Cattlemen’s Council, Inc. (HCC) is the Statewide umbrella organization comprised of the five county level Cattlemen’s Associations. Our 110+ member ranchers represent over 60,000 head of beef cows; more than 75% of all the beef cows in the State. Ranchers are the stewards of over 1 Million acres of land in Hawaii, or 25% of the State’s total land mass. HCC is also unified with the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA), so its members are represented on a County level, State-wide level and National level.

NOVEMBER 2007 - 
The following documents are HCC's 
Strategic Plan and the

Annual convention held November 3, 2007

Ulupalakua Ranch was selected as the recipient of the 2006 Hawaii Environmental Stewardship Award.  Along with this award at the local level, their nomination was submitted by Hawaii to the National Environmental Stewardship Award Program, now in its 16th year.  An abstract of their nomination was featured in the April to June 2006 issue of Agriculture Hawaii.  Their full award submission can be viewed by clicking on the following link:  Ulupalakua Ranch ESAP Submission

Our 2005 convention was one of our best ever, including record breaking attendance at all events.
