Industry leaders! As a grassroots organization, TSCRA is recognized as the voice for cattle producers in Texas and the Southwest to state governments and nationally on legislation and regulatory matters.

Traditional Allied Membership - $350
Benefits include …

• Advertising! Annual listing in The Cattleman magazine, which has 16,000 paid subscribers.

• Discounts on advertising! 10 percent discount on booth space in TSCRA’s annual trade show.

• Access to 31 field inspectors stationed in Texas and Oklahoma with the authority to search, seize and arrest. Assisting them are 75 market inspectors who monitor 140 cattle auctions and two horse-processing plants in Texas for stolen livestock. To back them up, TSCRA’s market inspection program maintains the nation’s largest computerized database of brand/consignor information, which allows financial institutions to better secure their collateral. In 2001, TSCRA field inspectors investigated 29 cases of mortgaged property being sold out of trust for agricultural banks and lending institutions. These 29 cases resulted in the recovery of $376,500 of assets.

• Networking! Invitations to attend TSCRA’s annual convention, annual summer and fall business meetings and ranch gatherings. Last year, TSCRA put on four ranch gatherings across the state with hors d'oeuvres, drinks and a band to dance to – an excellent opportunity to meet and gain information from livestock producers and industry associates.

• Receive The Cattleman magazine and the TSCRA News Update to help keep you on top of the latest trends, legislation and technology that could significantly impact the way your clients do business.

Five sponsored memberships* (valued at $90 + sign for $25 = $115). Give five of your clients who are not already members of TSCRA a one-year membership. We’ll provide them with all of our services, which include:

• Theft Protection – by filing their brand and developing a relationship with their TSCRA district field inspector, TSCRA could help pre-empt some potential wrecks. They also get one free sign, which is a proven deterrent of theft.

Upon completion of these workshops, participants receive a certificate and can list their cattle on our web site.
