About the Common Ground Summit
​
The Common Ground Summit convened April 21-23, 2025, in Denver, Colorado. The summit marked a historic step forward in a multi-year effort to strengthen unity within the livestock industry.
​
Bringing together stakeholders from diverse backgrounds, operations and organizational involvement, the summit demonstrated the livestock industry’s collective commitment to preserving America’s agricultural land for future generations while strengthening and expanding the livestock producers who rely on it to feed the world.
​
Participants engaged in focused discussions on topics that were identified as being most pressing to achieving these shared goals. Through intensive dialogue and collaboration, attendees successfully identified key priorities and actionable solutions to drive progress on these pivotal topics. All stakeholders in the livestock industry are called upon to pursue impactful change with a common voice.
