State Cooperative Advertising Program

This is a great program that gives state associations the opportunity to save on their own budget and take advantage of the funds of the National Campaign. The ASA would like state associations to take advantage of this effort as a way to increase exposure of the Shorthorn breed in the livestock industry and gain state recognition.
