Biographical History
The Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association was organized at Graham, Texas, in 1877 as the Stock-Raisers' Association of North-West Texas. Around 1893 it acquired a large membership from South Texas and became the Texas Cattle Raisers Association. The present title was adopted in 1921 whent he Panhandle and Southwestern Associations merged with the Texas group. With membership extending over several states, it is the largest organization of its kind in the United States. Its membership has included leading cattlemen such as James C. Loving and C. C. Slaughter, who were organizers of the 1877 group, Richard Mifflin Kleberg and Robert J. Kleberg of the King Ranch, and Dolph Briscoe, Jr., all former presidents, as well as hundreds of owners of small herds. The organization was incorporated in 1882, the same year it adopted a "per head" assessment system, still in force, to curb cattle rustling by employing brand inspectors to verify ownership. The association monitors legislation and represents its members' interests at both state and national levels. Its policy is determined by a board of directors with an executive committee headed by the president of the association. Since 1914 it has published a magazine, "The Cattleman", that provides news of the industry to its membership. The organization's office is located in Fort Worth, Texas.
