Mission Statement

The Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Foundation’s mission is to preserve, promote and protect the rich heritage of ranch life and advance the future of the livestock industry in the Southwest for present and future generations.

The Museum

The Cattle Raisers Museum is located on the second floor of the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History.

The Cattle Raisers Museum is dedicated to preserving and celebrating the vital history and science of the cattle industry. The experience tells the story of the cattle industry from its origins among the West’s early Spanish settlers, through the heyday of the legendary drovers, all the way to today’s modern range technology. The exhibits show the important role Texas and Southwestern cattle raisers play in protecting natural resources as frontline stewards of land, livestock and wildlife.

The Brand

The Longhorn head formed by the facing numbers 7 and 7 resting on a bar signify the founding of the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association in 1877.

The three parts of the continuous circle represent the independence, courage and commitment of generations of ranching families who built the industry.

The horns extending outside the circle symbolize a vision with no boundaries or limitations.
