Mr. NEWHOUSE. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to congratulate the Washington Cattleman's Association on their 100th anniversary, an incredible milestone that ranchers in our State should be proud of.

Since its inception in 1925, the Washington Cattleman's Association has been instrumental in promoting the agriculture and cattle industry in the State of Washington. They preserve, protect, and promote the beef industry through producer and consumer education, legislative advocacy, regulatory scrutiny, and legal intervention.

Based in Ellensburg, Washington, the Washington Cattleman's Association has 1,500 members across the State. Their excellent leadership in Olympia and Washington D.C. has helped advance important legislation and cut red tape for ranchers in our State. Despite challenges facing ranchers and cattleman in the State, the Washington Cattleman's Association has been instrumental in establishing water, grazing, and local conservation efforts that has helped build our robust cattle industry here in Washington.

Their exceptional work has helped so many ranchers, and on their 100th anniversary, I thank them for all they do for the State of Washington.
