Our East Texas Longhorn Association has seen a great deal of recent activity
November 8 was the date of the Marquess Arrow Ranch Production Sale. Ron and Barbara Marquess reported that 92 lots sold to buyers from nine states, with eleven states represented in the audience on sale day. The Top Ten lots averaged $8225 and all lots sold averaged $2462. Ron and Barb and their extended family were gracious hosts, as always.
November 21-23 saw 142 entries in the Fourth Annual Kaufman Police Association Show, taking place in Athens, Tx. There were 66 animals shown in the Youth Division, with 29 heifers and cows and 8 trophy steers shown in the Open, Non-Haltered classes. Exhibitors brought 39 entries through the ring for the Open haltered show. The youth exhibits were judged by Richard Spooner of Stonewall, OK and Keith Dubose from Ben Wheeler, Tx judged the open shows. ETLA youth raised funds for scholarships by serving a pizza supper on Friday evening and then on Saturday through sponsorship of a Cow Patty Bingo competition and an auction of jars of barbecue sauce donated by the Jesse Rivera Family of Red Oak, Tx. Joel Norris and his crew did their usual excellent job of preparation and execution which paid off in a great weekend for everyone participating.
Our East Texas affiliate wishes everyone the very best in 2015!
