Grasshopper Livestock Association

Over 24 months, bring together partners from Cibecue with a focus on youth ranchers to facilitate hands-on learning, environmental and modern herd, ranching, range and business practices, control cattle disease and increase profitability through modern business practices and leverage assets to market cattle to the BEST primary and secondary markets.

Improve the production and sale of certified cattle from three Cibecue Livestock Associations (Cibecue, Oak Creek, Grasshopper) through improved community-wide training and education and improve local economic conditions through higher quality cattle in the Native Beef and other marketing programs.

Prepare cattle for marketing and sale in Spring and Fall 2017

The ultimate purpose is to create a Grasshopper Livestock Association which is a profitable, sustainable and job-creating business enterprise, which consistently produces lower priced, grass-fed and locally produced USDA-certified high quality beef and beef products. We are determined to become a source of pride and economic prosperity for Association members, the White Mountain Apache Tribe and the citizens of Cibecue, Arizona. We seek to do this by utilizing the latest in technology and education, leveraging these modern approaches while retaining our culturally based views of generational responsibility and spirituality unique to our White Mountain Apache heritage.
