Haymaker, better recheck your "figgers".

It's difficult to fully express how incorrect your statement is.  NCBA is alive and well in Texas.  The Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Assn recently completed a survey of their paid suscriber base of 14,219.

The reader survey reported only 2.8% of TSCRA members are also R Calf members.  17.5% reported they are NCBA members.  I'm sure the Texas Cattle Feeders Assn has a much higher NCBA member rate, making your state one of, if not the largest source of NCBA members. 

Suffice it to say, NCBA is alive and well in TX.
