Lassies
The Texas Shorthorn Lassies serves as the women’s auxiliary of the Texas Shorthorn Association. Officially organized in 1956, Lassies encourage and extend the influence of Shorthorn Breeding, promote the interest of its membership, stimulate greater activity, and cultivate closer relationships. The Lassies also arrange exhibits at state shows, present awards, publicize the breed provide reception committees, and conduct activities that pertain to the State Queen contest and other promotional activities.
MEMBERSHIP FOR THE
TEXAS SHORTHORN LASSIES
