Issues and Policy

Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association is actively representing ranchers and landowners in the Southwest on these and other important issues.

TSCRA has six committees that research and discuss issues of importance to ranchers and landowners. These policy committees develop policy resolutions that are submitted to the TSCRA board of directors for approval. Learn about each committee’s responsibilities.

The Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association was founded in 1877 as a trade organization for cattle raisers and landowners. As the largest and oldest livestock association in Texas, TSCRA represents more than 16,500 beef cattle producers, ranching families and businesses who manage approximately 4 million head of cattle on 76 million acres of range and pasture land, primarily in Texas and Oklahoma. TSCRA provides law enforcement and livestock inspection services, legislative and regulatory advocacy, industry news and information, insurance services and educational opportunities for its members and the industry.
