The Central Cattledog Association (CCA) was incorporated as a non-profit corporation in March 2013. Its members are primarily farmers and ranchers, as well as cattledog handlers and breeders. It was formed for the purpose of promoting and developing the use of cattledogs for the benefit and education of livestock owners and cattledog handlers. By conducting educational events, which include clinics, public demonstrations, and cattledog trials, CCA promotes and facilitates the humane handling of livestock with the proper use of well-trained cattledogs.

Individual membership are $25.   Also, 5 year memberships are now available for $100.  Additional family members remain $10 per year per family member.
