Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA), the largest and oldest livestock association in the Southwest, has released new educational resources to support livestock producers as they prepare to comply with updated regulations on animal disease traceability.

The available resources are designed to assist cattle raisers navigating new U.S. Department of Agriculture requirements, including the use of electronic identification (EID) tags for certain classes of livestock crossing state lines beginning November 5.

The newly released resources from TSCRA provide important background about the rule, answer frequently asked questions about compliance and implementation and resources to help cattle raisers access free EID tags.

TSCRA is also offering events to both TSCRA members and the public to share helpful information and resources. An online webinar is scheduled for October 1. In-person events will be held in: Fredericksburg, October 10; San Angelo, October 15; and Brenham October 24.
