About Cattle Raisers Insurance
Where we began
Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA) leaders have a tradition of finding or creating solutions to the problems faced by ranchers and their families. More than 40 years ago, TSCRA leaders saw that ranching families were struggling to find affordable insurance coverage from reputable companies that understood the unique challenges of ranching and the rural lifestyle.
To meet this need, TSCRA leaders looked for an established company with which to create an insurance agency designed for ranchers. TSCRA Insurance Services was launched in 1977.
Over the years, TSCRA Insurance Services has evolved into a full-service insurance brokerage for the members of TSCRA and is now known as Cattle Raisers Insurance (CRI). CRI is licensed with top A-rated insurance companies to bring you the best coverage for your ranching needs.
