Origin of the Texas Cattle Raisers Association
The 1877 Graham Texas gathering in Young County formed what became the Texas Cattle Raisers Association. L. C. Carter chaired the convention, J. C. Loving was secretary, and a committee drafted resolutions to create a permanent body to protect stockmen and organize districts for stray cattle control and brand records. Carter served as president most years until his 1888 death. Graham takes pride as the birthplace and hopes annual conventions return.
