dividual members, 51 af
fliated state cattle
associations, and 15 af
filiated national breed
organizations. In addition to
its Denver headquarters,
NCA has an office in
Washington, D.C.
The new NCA budding will
also house the general of
fices of Cattle-Fax, a cattle
market analysis service
associated with NCA, and
the American National
Cowßelles, Inc., an allied
organization of women who
conduct educational and
promotional efforts on
behalf of the beef cattle
industry. Other activities to
be conducted in the new
office include the Cat
tlemen’s Action Legislative
Fund (the industry’s
political action committee)
and the National Cat
tlemen’s Foundation, Inc
Additional office space
(provided for future ex
pansion) will be avadable
for lease to related
businesses.
NCA is now conducting a
$4 million building campaign
to fund the total project,
including land, building,
furnishings and associated
costs. Financing for the
project will be generated
entirely from funds raised
through voluntary con
tributions. The campaign is
being headed by W R. Farr,
Greeley, Colo., chairman,
and Pat Wilson, Frostproof,
Fla., vice-chairman.
The current NCA facility,
located at 1001 Lincoln in
Denver, is becoming in
creasingly costly and poorly
suited to the association’s
work, according to NCA
President Merlyn Carlson, a
Lodgepole, Neb., cattleman.
“There are a number of
advantages to ownership of
our own building,” said
Carlson, "but perhaps the
most important is that
ownership will release a
considerable sum of money,
now being spent on rent, for
additional direct services to
NCA members and the beef
cattle industry.
"In addition to the fact
that the value of the property
at this excellent location will
continue to appreciate, we
feel an owned facility can be
planned and constructed to
more adequately meet the
operating needs of the
of
association, in terms oi
space and arrangement.”
Attending the ground
breaking ceremonies were
NCA officials, represen
tatives of the architect, the
financial institution, the
general contractor and of
ficials of the city of
Greenwood Village and
Arapahoe County.
A $2.1 million contract for
