Branding cows has a rhyme and reason. There are basically four types of branding systems. Lifestock branding began in 1877 to deter rustlers from the stealing farmer’s cattle. Branding did not prevent the stealing of the farmer’s daughter.
TSCRA traces its beginning to 1877, when a group of ranchers formed an association to combat livestock theft. As the largest and oldest livestock association in Texas, TSCRA represents more than 15,000 beef cattle producers, ranching families and businesses who manage approximately 4 million head of cattle on 51.5 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.
