National Advertising Campaign

The goal of the ASA national advertising campaign is to promote proficiency in all sectors of the breed – in the both practical beef AND the show ring. Watch for these ads and similar messages throughout publications and websites.

Each ad has a downloadable PDF document with spaces to fill out with your personal and/or state information to be distributed in your area.

The ads below are also available as cooperative advertising for state associations. For more information on co-op advertising, click here.

 

Co-op 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 each state to take advantage of this effort as a way to increase exposure of the Shorthorn breed in the livestock industry and gain state recognition.

Program Guidelines:

1. A state association is allowed a $650/year budget (fiscal year of July 1 – June 30)
2. The ASA will pay for 50% of an advertisement placed.
   NOTE: States may run more than one ad; however, the ASA will not pay a state more than a total of $650/year
3. The ad placed MUST be one of the approved ads shown below. This is to ensure a consistent breed image.
