The Kansas Livestock Association (KLA) is a trade group representing a broad spectrum of the state’s livestock sector, including cow-calf, feedlot, swine, dairy, and sheep operations. It serves about 5,600 members by engaging with legislative and regulatory issues at both state and federal levels, funded by member dues that support education, communications, and advocacy activities. Based in Topeka, Kansas, the organization traces its origins to 1894, when a group of Flint Hills ranchers formed the association to address issues such as cattle theft and railroad freight rates. KLA operates within the ranching industry and aims to support the multi-billion dollar cattle economy through policy influence, industry information, and member programs. A recent collaboration with Merck Animal Health began in early 2023 as an exclusive program sponsor to host members for seminars, reflecting ongoing partnerships that bolster member education and engagement.
