Historical Note
The Arizona Cattle Feeders' Association was founded in 1934 in
Phoenix, Arizona by a group of Salt River Valley feeders. It is the oldest
cattle feeders' organization in the United States. The main purpose of the
organization is to assist cattlemen with marketing. Today, the Arizona Cattle
Feeders' Association is managed by the Arizona Cattlemen's Association which is
responsible for administering the policies and programs of both the Arizona
Cattle Feeders' Association and the Arizona Cattle Growers' Association.
The collection also includes research materials from Dr. Raymond
Seltzer. Dr. Seltzer was a professor at the University of Arizona in
agricultural economics. He worked with the cattle industry and conducted the
Mexican cattle survey. Raymond Eugene Seltzer was born in 1918 in Illinois. He

University of California, Berkeley in Agricultural Economics in 1957. In 1947
