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.

- To be eligible for ASA-sanctioned shows beginning in the 2009/2010 PACE show season, ShorthornPlus and Durham Red animals that are registered less than ½ Shorthorn blood, must be sired by a half-blood or higher registered Shorthorn bull.
- Tattoos are limited to eight characters, including the year code if used.
