In 1890, the association underwent some changes and became the Utah Horse and Cattle Growers Association. It continued with that title until February of 1956 when the current name, Utah Cattlemen's Association (UCA) was adopted.

To encourage the establishment of state and local exhibits and contests designed to encourage the cattle business.
