[QUOTE="Caustic Burno', post: 143398, member: 2436"] Nope the Texas Southwestern Cattlemen Association has Rangers appointed by the state for nothing but crimes dealing with livestock. Law Enforcement and Livestock Inspection TSCRA offers 29 highly trained livestock theft investigators strategically stationed throughout Texas and Oklahoma. Commissioned as Special Rangers by the Texas Department of Public Safety and/or the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, these "field inspectors" assist in recovering stolen livestock and equipment and apprehending the thieves. TSCRA field inspectors are not only trained in all facets of law enforcement, but are knowledgeable about the cattle industry. They frequently provide educational programs on theft prevention and proper branding procedures. The law enforcement officers are aided in their efforts by 70 TSCRA market inspectors who identify 5 million to 6 million cattle each year at more than 125 Texas livestock markets. They report their findings to TSCRA’s Fort Worth headquarters, where the information is entered into the largest centralized and computerized brand recording and retrieval system in the nation. Headquarters support staff distribute information on missing/stolen livestock to more than 700 law enforcement agencies nationwide. The inspection program was authorized by the U.S. Department of Agriculture through an act of Congress in 1942. All costs for the program are paid by TSCRA. TSCRA inspectors also protect the 288,000 horse-owning households in Texas by inspecting the 35,000 horses that are sent each year through Texas’ two horse-processing plants. The Texas Legislature instituted the horse inspection program in 1997 in response to an urgent need to identify stolen horses. Again, lawmakers called upon the experience and expertise of TSCRA to administer the program. [/QUOTE]
