WHAT IS THE TLA?
The Texas Limousin Association is the state organization
for the Limousin breed. It was founded in 1971 as a
non-profit organization operated by its membership for
the members. The primary purpose of the TLA is the
promotion, improvement, and marketing of Limousin cattle
to the benefit of all its members. The TLA represents
breeders from Texas and eight other states.
WHY JOIN THE TLA?
Members, through the association's board of directors
and participation in the annual membership meeting,
establish rules and policies that govern the
organization.
The TLA engages in a full range of breed association
functions and service-oriented activities that center in
the areas of breed promotion and improvements, shows,
marketing, research, and support of junior activities.
Members of the TLA receive the association's official
publication, the TEXAS LIMOUSIN NEWS. Through this
publication, members are kept up-to-date on shows,
sales, field days, and other important events of
interest to Limousin breeders and cattlemen in general.
Members benefit from a communications department that
aids in telling the breed story and introducing
cattlemen to its many attributes. The main objectives
are to provide educational literature and information on
the breed and to promote the association and breed
through an innovative promotional and marketing program.
The TLA is a major supporter of livestock shows in the
state in the form of premium monies and special awards
at numerous open and junior Limousin heifer and steer
shows. In conjunction with the TJLA, the TLA aids in the
support of a summer junior field day and other junior
activities.
The TLA sponsors many consignment sales throughout the
state to aid and provide its membership with additional
outlets in which to market their Limousin cattle.
