Pray for Texas.

The Ross Fire has devastated parts of Palo Pinto and Jack counties, impacting ranching families, livestock and the land so many depend on.

Through it all, rural communities have continued to show what it means to take care of one another, neighbors stepping up, first responders working tirelessly and ranchers doing everything possible to protect their livestock and livelihoods.

As recovery efforts continue, please keep everyone impacted by the Ross Fire in your thoughts and prayers.

Increasing beef imports is not the answer to high beef prices.

While TSCRA appreciates the Trump administration’s continued support for American ranchers, there is no quick fix to the many factors impacting beef prices.

Consumer demand for beef remains strong. As the U.S. cattle herd rebuilds, supplies will increase and prices will normalize, but it will take time.

Private property rights are not simply one issue among many for our TSCRA members, they are the foundation upon which agriculture, conservation and rural communities are built.

TSCRA is committed to ensuring private property rights are upheld.
