The RANGE ALLOTMENT OWNERS - National Grazing Lands Education Association (RAO) is a national level association of livestock producers who are Allotment Owners in the 17 contiguous Western States.

RAO also accepts applications for non-voting membership from livestock organizations or businesses that support stockraising agriculture and the Constitutional right to own and control property.

The RAO was formed for the purpose of educating, informing, and assisting Allotment Owners in protecting their property rights and promoting the interests of livestock organizations, businesses, and communities dependent on the Western livestock industry.
