Sam Ard, Herb Harbin and Representative Mike LaRosaThe Florida Cattlemen’s Association is in Tallahassee this week for their annual Legislative Quarterly. They have all split up into small groups to stop by offices of both Senate and House members.

And as you can see, evens signs were posted by some welcoming the group to the capitol today as many look forward to visiting with FCA members each year at this time.
