In 1964, a small group of concerned cattlemen banded together to preserve the unique heritage of Texas Longhorn cattle. With this as their goal, they established the Texas Longhorn Breeders Association of America (TLBAA) to maintain the breed registry and to promote the magnificent breed to as many persons as possible.
Today, the purposes of the TLBAA remain the same. In addition, the Association has expanded its membership services as the number of Texas Longhorn enthusiasts has increased to an all-time high.
