Exhibitor Information
35th Annual TSCRA Trade Show
March 19-21, 2010
Fort Worth Convention Center
Fort Worth, Texas
Our exhibitors say …
"During the course of any year we participate in several trade shows, most of which we spend the majority of our time talking with the other vendors that are there. At the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association show, we spend all of our time visiting with customers that are potential buyers. Our time is well spent. The TSCRA staff go out of their way to accommodate us and promote our business."
"The TSCRA Convention and Trade Show is one of the premier shows that we attend each year.
The attendance is usually very good and the staff of TSCRA really works hard to make the show a success for everyone."
"I would say if you want exposure with results, this is the place to be. Lots of interaction with customers and other exhibitors that helps to create good relationships. The TSCRA staff is very helpful and Cowtown is the BEST place for the convention."
"The TSCRA show gets you feedback and ideas for your products from the people who are working with them."
"The TSCRA Annual Trade Show is a great way to network and have valuable “face-to-face” contact with cattle producers. The trade show offers a perfect platform for connecting with producers and sharing information."

Silent Auction:
Proceeds from the annual Silent Auction in the Trade Show support the continuing education and professional development requirements of TSCRA's special rangers.
Each year our special rangers investigate nearly 1,000 cases of equipment and cattle theft. In 2008, these law enforcement professionals recovered more than $4.8 million worth of assets for cattle producers and sent offenders to prison for more than 200 years.
Needless to say, the Silent Auction is a crowd-pleaser and draws hundreds of visitors past our exhibitors to the auction area, staged at the rear of the trade show hall.
All Exhibitors are welcome to support the Silent Auction with a donation.
