Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA) announced cattle raisers impacted by wildfires in the Texas Panhandle and Western Oklahoma can apply for financial aid through the TSCRA Disaster Relief Fund.

The TSCRA Disaster Relief Fund, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit supporting ranchers and landowners impacted by natural disasters, will distribute financial assistance to reduce the financial burdens incurred by cattle raisers from recent wildfire damages that were not covered through insurance or other means of aid.

The open application window comes after hundreds of individuals and companies donated generous gifts in response to the second largest wildfire event in the United States. Donations continue to be accepted to benefit ranchers and landowners impacted by this natural disaster.

Ranchers and landowners from disaster declared counties impacted by recent wildfires are eligible to apply in the open application period. Applicants are not required to be a member of Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association to qualify for aid.

To apply for funding, individuals must submit an online application detailing loss or damages because of the fires. Applicants should attach documentation which can include insurance policies and claims, inventory records, photographs and other reports.
