History:  The first Affiliate to be chartered by SGBI in 1953 was originally named East Texas Santa Gertrudis Association.  In 1959 ESTGA changed their name to Premier SGA.  We were also the Association that helped put on the first National Junior SGA shows in Dallas and Waco, Texas. 

Major Events: Annual Premier Summer Sale. State Fair of Texas in October, the Fort Worth Stock Show in January along with the Premier Annual membership meeting and the Premier open and junior show in May each year in Athens, Texas.

Major Emphasis: To promote Santa Gertrudis and Star 5 cattle to commercial breeders of all breeds in Texas and the USA.  We also put high emphasis in the promotion of our juniors and the Junior Association because the juniors are the future breeders of Premier and SGBI.
