BC South Peace River Stockmen's Association was incorporated in 1953 to serve the livestock producers of the South Peace River area. The Association joined the BC Beef Growers Association (now the British Columbia Cattlemen's Association) and is the South Peace member local of the Peace River Regional Cattlemen's Association.
