CASHMERE ASSOCIATION Texas Cashmere Association (TCA) was formed in June, 1990, to promote the cashmere industry in the state of Texas, and to educate the general public about cashmere production in Texas. In addition, TCA has adopted the code of standards formulated by Cashmere Producers of America. See www.texascashmere.com/ for more information. For information contact William G. Nagel, bnagel@gvtc.com, 4625 Sandy Fork Road, Harwood, TX 78632, (830) 540-4601. FIBER PRODUCERS OF TEXAS, INC. Fiber Producers of Texas, Inc. (FPT) was incorporated in 1998 by remaining founders of the original Kid 'N Ewe, to be the managing sponsor of the Kid 'N Ewe and Llamas, Too Festival. FPT petitioned, and was accepted into the Mountain and Valley Wool Association (MAVWA.) in 2001. This relationship vastly improves opportunities for producers of Texas fiber to participate in the Wool Festival at Taos and allows producers in Colorado and New Mexico to use Texas fiber in their products. Also mutually beneficial is the sharing in a larger pool of experience and talents in the execution of common goals. FTP welcomes MAVWA to the Kid 'N Ewe and Llamas, Too Festival. Current officers are: Mary Carol Buchholz, President; Randall Brooks, Vice President; and Grady Ingle, Secretary. For information contact Grady Ingle, texasfiber@hotmail.com, 355 Copano Ridge Road, Rockport, TX (361) 729-4161 SOUTH CENTRAL LLAMA ASSOCIATION The South Central Llama Association (SCLA) was formed in 1989 to advise and educate people on the responsible care of llamas. They publish a newsletter, The Humming Herald, full of llama related news and activities, have an extensive lending library, and are involved in all major livestock shows in Texas. Llamas are pack animals, are used as guard animals for sheep and goat herds, and make excellent 4-H projects. In addition, their fiber undercoat can be spun into luxurious yarns. The SCLA has members in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arkansas and Louisiana. In addition to the Kid 'N Ewe and Llamas, Too, sponsored events include llama shows at the State Fair of Texas, Fort Worth Exposition & Livestock Show, San Antonio Livestock Show, Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, and San Angelo Livestock Show & Rodeo.
