The NDSA hosts the Young Cattlemen’s Legislative Conference every two years during the legislative session. The 2025 Young Cattlemen’s Legislative Conference was held March 19-20.

One couple from each of the association’s six districts is selected by NDSA board members to participate.

This conference is designed to help spark an interest in the policies affecting the beef industry, to develop new leadership within the NDSA and to inform them of the NDSA’s involvement in the legislative process.
