I am wondering how many people are members of a cattle association. Have you found it helpful? What are the good and bad points?

To register our animals, we have to be members of the respective associations.

In my opinion, ABBA is worthless. ASA is close, but the local Texas chapter is wonderful. Great people, a lot of support, sanctioned sales in Texas to consign animals to, a web site to advertise on free of charge, etc.
ASA is going to be starting a new deal next year.. it's called "Total Herd Enrollment", and it's designed for producers to report every calf from every cow.. regardless if it's a steer that goes to the auction barn, a dead calf, or a calf sold to a kid to show. The goal is to get more detailed and reliable information for EPD's. It will be interesting, if slightly unwieldy to implement!

A part of the Dept. of Public Safety Texas Rangers investigates thefts and the like. All free and fast service because they only work with Texas and Oklahoma and issues concerning their members. The also have their own brand inspector at all sales, slaughter houses. Both for cattle and hourses.
Callie, if you're a TSCRA member, and if you have a Field Inspector that won't come out and help you with a theft investigation, you need to contact the Director of Law Enforcement in Ft. Worth. I assume you have the contact info for him, as well. If you don't, please PM me and I'll try to help you.Callie":2p54ggza said:That is if you have a Ranger that will ACTUALLY come out and investigate and do something about the problem. Our Ranger won't.
