Cal Poly is home to the Southern Region of California Young Cattlemen. The Young Cattlemen's Association is an affiliate of California
Cattlemen's Association, the beef industry trade association. Young Cattlemen's allows students to get involved with the California beef industry and gain a better understanding of the issues that face the industry. Club members hold barbecues, go on ranch tours, attend monthly San Luis Obispo County Cattlemen's and San Luis Obispo County Cattlewomen's meetings, attend the annual California Cattlemen's Association Convention and Mid-Year Meeting, and help with activities at the California State Fair. The club also helps to send students to the annual National
Cattlemen's Beef Association Convention. In addition to these activities, club members are also eligible for a number of statewide
scholarships.
