Robinson Appointed To Federal Lands Committee

The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association has announced that Dodson rancher Lesley Robinson will serve as vice chair of the association’s federal lands committee. Initiated in 1898, NCBA is the oldest and largest national trade association representing America’s cattle farmers and ranchers.

“Lesley Robinson has spent her entire life ranching and along the way, she got involved in policymaking and advocating for the U.S. cattle industry,” said NCBA policy division chair Kim Brackett. “Our policy committee leaders serve NCBA by helping us develop the association’s policy book — a collection of policy positions that guide NCBA’s advocacy in Washington, D.C. This grassroots policy process ensures that cattle producers are the ones making decisions on NCBA’s priorities. Lesley’s expertise will be especially important as NCBA works to protect public lands grazing and recognize the environmental stewardship of America’s ranchers.”

Robinson owns and operates the Lazy JD Cattle Company alongside her husband. Robinson previously spent 12 years serving as a Phillips County Commissioner.
