The community is invited to come watch the exciting action at the 2019 Texas Sheep Dog Association (TSDA) Finals!
Through a system of awards and sheep dog trials, TSDA encourages the continual development of better stock dogs and their applied use on modern farms, ranches, and livestock operations.
