EDITOR’S NOTES MOVING ON This is a bittersweet issue of Trails, for it is the last issue that Trace Neal, my graphic artist and right hand, worked on before leaving the TLBAA to pursue the next step in his career closer to home. It is a testament to this industry and to the office staff, that a person with minimal knowledge of cattle, let alone Longhorns, drove in terrible traffic from north of Dallas (an hour or more with tolls) to work for us for for 4 1/2 years because he enjoyed the job so much. Many of you worked with him on ads and e-blasts and met him as he took your photo at TLBAA events. I don’t know what he said to elicit smiles, but we have many event photos with people laughing in them. He not only talked easily and took interest in our members, he even sold an ad or two while he was at it! He jumped in and helped anywhere he could and I am sure his next co-workers will enjoy having him around as much as we did. Bon voyage my friend. Just as Trace moves on, so do we. As we add new faces, new roles and even new events to the Longhorn world, the desire to improve all that we do in the magazine and as an association keeps us moving forward with new ideas, different ways to broadcast our message and a continuing forward motion getting the word out to the world about this wonderful, iconic breed of cattle. You will notice the appearance of more video clips on Facebook originating from the office. That would be part of the forward movement in expanding our reach through the new Marketing Coordiantor position filled by Mason Runyon. You will see him at events talking to participants and gathering more footage to be used for a greater media prescence. He is excited to learn more about the cattle and especially the people who own them. Trails magazine is expanding ways for you to get your message out as well. QR codes on ads have been gaining in popularity and we can certainly incoporate custom QR codes into your advertising for you. There will also be ways to gain wider coverage with the information in Trails by combining our online magzine platform options with the website and social media. We’re a small team and sometimes we get bogged down, but we have big ambitions and we’re working to get here. I’m excited for what’s in store down the road for us and our readers. We hope to see many of you at our upcoming events, including the 35th TLBAA World Expo and the TLBAA Horn Showcase. The Horn Showcase will be making lots of new announcements following its move to a new location in Wichita Falls, TX October 13-16, 2022. For weekly updates on these events and more be sure to check our website (www.tlbaa.org), E-Trails and each month’s Trails Magazine.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT To the Board of Directors of Texas Longhorn Breeders Association of America Fort Worth, Texas We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Texas Longhorn Breeders Association of America, which comprise the statement of financial position as of June 30, 2021, and the related statement of activities, functional expenses and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Texas Longhorn Breeders Association of America as of June 30, 2021, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Association News

Chairman’s Message Longhorn Family, Longhorn Weekend is over and in the books. The weekend was busy and had a small turnout for the meetings. The meetings began on Friday morning with the Affiliate Presidents Meeting at 9:00 followed by the Board of Directors Meeting at 11:00. The Board set the Directors for Division A. They are Deb Lesyk for Regions 1 & 2, Johnny Hicks for Regions 3 & 4, and Dora Thompson for Regions 5 & 6. I want to thank the outgoing directors, Tom Smith, Mark Hubbell, Todd Spaid, Reid Tolar and Matt Durkin for all their service and the great job they did on the board. Their input and work will be missed. We also placed the Executive Committee, Chairman-Keith Du Bose, Vice-Chairman- Johnny Hicks, SecretaryStephen Head, Treasurer- Kevin Rooker and Parliamentarian- David Wars. The Board had a short presentation from the Breed Guidelines Committee and an update on their progress on creating a more detailed and explanatory set of guidelines. They are not changing them, but making them be a lot more user friendly and easier to understand our characteristics. There was a discussion on the TLBT Advisory Committee and a proposal to disband it. The Board tabled the discussion to allow for an investigation into the committee and its responsibility to the TLBT, its rules and guidelines and the reason for the proposal. The Board meeting carried over into the starting time of the Annual Membership meeting and caused a late start for it. The Annual Membership meeting began and announced the Directors for Division A, the Executive Committee and covered the financials and audit. The floor was opened for Committee Reports from the Affiliate Committee, the Beef Committee, World Show Steering Committee, the Breed Guidelines Committee and the Horn Showcase Steering Committee. I want to thank all the members of these committees for their hard work and willingness help this Association grow. During the Horn Showcase Committee report from Phil Norwood, Chairman, there was a lot of discussion on this past year’s showcase in Fort Worth. The Board and the Committee are well aware that there were the issues that came up and are addressing them and the Committee is working hard to make this next one, a great one with fewer problems. There was some discussion from the membership on what might could be done to help improve the event and make it better. There was a lengthy discussion on the Texas Longhorn Breeders of America Foundation Board and the Hall of Fame Award, where the Association stood with the Foundation, and what direction to go. The “Year End Awards” were given out on Friday evening, January 14, 2022, started with a Social and the awards presentation followed. This year’s winners were: the Mel Raley Award- Dean Whitlock; the Elmer Parker AwardRichard Filip; the Dave Evans Award- Kent & Sandy Harrell and the Jack Phillips Award- El Coyote Ranch. All these were well deserved and congratulations to the winners. The Eddie Woods Cowtown Classic Sale, with auctioneer, Joel Lemley and Lemley Auction Services for a great job helping people swap stock. The sale had a $3,406.46 average the sale arena was filled with new breeders getting their first cows and old breeders improving their programs. I want to thank our sale sponsors for their support. A fun time had by all. Hats off to all that attended and those that worked to make it great. The Fort Worth Stock Show had a great turnout, lots of great animals and showmen. The World Show Committee, Pam Robison and more help and sponsors than I can even name, made the formula for this wonderful event. Special thanks and kudos to the unsung heroes, the TLBAA office staff. I owe you big time. What a team we have. To my Longhorn Family, Thank You,

Longhorn Weekend

2022 TEXAS LONGHORN WEEKEND

16 | March 2022

The New Year saw Longhorn enthusiasts gathering in Fort Worth, Texas for the first major event of 2022. Friday had show and sale animals moving in at Will Rogers Memorial Complex while meetings were held across town at the Radisson. The morning kicked off with an Affiliate Meeting led by Tina DuBose. It was followed by the TLBAA Board meeting which included the seating of newly elected and re-elected seats in Division as well as election of Executive Committee members. Attendance remained light this year as a a new Covid variant increased concern with some about travel and being in groups. Zoom helped fill the gap as both affiliate presidents and board members were able to particpate remotely via Zoom. The TLBAA General Membership meeting followed and lots of concerns were brought before the Board from Horn Showcase issues to questions about the TLBF Hall of Fame. While the discussions ere passionate on all sides, it wa good to see members getting the opportunity to participate and speak up when they feel change is needed. Following the membership meeting there was a chance to gather with old friends and new ones at the TLBAA Special Awards Presentation. It kicked off with a time to enjoy hors d’oeuvres while visiting with fellow breeders. Then everyone saw the awards presented for the Rodger Damrow Colorful Calf Contest and the TLBAA Special Awards. You can find all the winners starting on pg.20. Saturday brought the Eddie Wood Cowtown Classic Sale sponsored by Cold Copper Ranch, Mike & Kali Smith. With a high seller of $40,000 and an averge of $3,406 it was an optimistic sign that sales would remain strong in 2022. For full sale results see pg. 24. The showing schedule was changed somewhat at this year’s show but it allowed everyone to present their Longhorns to the most people. The TLBT and World Show Committee meetings were forced to move to Saturday afternoon. On Sunday, the TLBT Youth Show was held in the Watt Arena in front of a packed house with over 250 entries. You can see the results on pg. 26-28.. Monday morning began a full day of Open Show animals in the historic Will Roger’s Coliseum, former home

of the Fort Worth Stock Show Rodeo. Between the Open Haltered Show, the Non-Haltered Show and Trophy Steers, close to 225 animals walked through the show ring. As Monday was a holiday, the show drew curious spectators as well as those family members and friends that came to cheer on their favorites. Many more of the curious walked through the barn area of the Will Rogers Complex wanting a chance to see the Longhorns up close. It is an awesome opportunity for breeders to interact with the public and educate them about the Longhorn, potentially sparking an interest in the breed by new people.

2021 TLBAA SPECIAL AWARDS 2021 MEL RALEY RISING STAR AWARD

This special recognition is awarded to those who have been an active member of the TLBAA for less than five years and through involvement and sustained enthusiasm have made a positive impact on their peers and on the Longhorn breed.

DEAN WHITLOCK / WHITLOCK LONGHORNS Whitlock Longhorns has been in the breed for just over 4 years, and over the last year and a half have made a lasting impact on the breed. In 2020 Whitlock Longhorns had the Grand Champion Female, Superior and Bronze Award winner with HR Rebel Bang at the Horn Showcase. In 2021 Whitlock Longhorns had the Legacy Futurity winner and high futurity sale with BC 50-50 Super. His social media marketing is bringing a new excitement to the breed as well as encouraging and motivating new breeders. Whitlock Longhorns is a huge supporter of making the most of what you have available by utilizing AI, ET and IVF practices with not only their herd, but partnering with other breeders to make their herds and the industry better! Whitlock Longhorns is building an amazing program and at the same time making our industry better and more fun!

2021 JACK PHILLIPS AWARD

This award honors individuals who have worked selflessly for the Longhorn and breeders alike, without recognition.

THE BASS FAMILY, FELIX, DELLA & FELICIA SERNA / EL COYOTE RANCH Felix, Della, Felicia, the Bass family and the entire staff at the El Coyote Longhorn Ranch work tirelessly and quietly to help children, new breeders and established breeders alike to reach their goals. Over the years it would be impossible to count the kids they have assisted in life through offering cattle for them to show and taking them to shows. They give time and resources to these children to enable them to participate in an adventure that they might not otherwise be able to do. All the while they are learning many valuable lessons that will be used along their journey in life. They are a very loving, sincere, honest and hard working group of people and deserve recognition through the Jack Phillips award.

2021 DAVE EVANS BREEDER OF THE YEAR AWARD

The Dave Evans Breeder of the Year Award is given to individuals who have dedicated themselves to the betterment of Texas Longhorn cattle through their breeding program.

KENT & SANDY HARRELL / HARRELL RANCH The impact that this one program has made on an industry will not be forgotten. They have been in the business almost 4 decades and during that time have raised animals that have won the Horn Showcase and the World Show. They are wonderful promoters of the breed through print advertising and social media marketing. Their sire, Rebel HR, sold private treaty half interest as well as a semen syndication this past year. This home bred bull has now generated over $400k in partnership, semen and progeny sales. They are always willing to offer a helping hand to new breeders to get them off to a great start. Their program would be described as built, not bought. Their herd sire line up is second to none.

2021 ELMER PARKER LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

The Elmer Parker Lifetime Award honors those members, who have been dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the Longhorn breed, qualities that Parker was known for.

RICHARD FILIP / BENTWOOD RANCH A man of few words, but a presence in an industry that cannot be understated. A wonderful program that has influenced our breed. His cattle have huge horns yet reflect an animal that still represents all the characteristics you should desire in a traditional Longhorn. An active promoter of his program in Trails Magazine as well as sale publications. His ranch has a strong social media presence that delivers education to breeders to give them a platform to learn from.

New Venue Announced for the 2022 TLBAA Horn Showcase The Texas Longhorn Breeders Association of America is excited to report the Horn Showcase will be held in Wichita Falls, Texas, at the MultiPurpose Events Center on October 13 – 16, 2022.

The main part of the event will be held in the J.S. Bridwell Ag Center with additional portions held across the Wichita River in the Ray Clymer Exhibit Hall which is easily accessible via a pedestrian bridge. The Wichita Falls CVB is excited to host an event the size and prestige of the Horn Showcase. The Horn Showcase is the only official Texas Longhorn horn measuring contest, while also including a select heifer/cow sale, futurity contest, Bull Alley to showcase the leading bulls, educational seminars and a vendor area. Typically, up to 300 animals are on site to participate with an additional 150 or more measured the weekend before at satellite locations. Watch for more details in the coming weeks as the show’s schedule and festivities are lined out and released. 22 | March 2022

Longhorn Weekend

2021 Rodger Damrow Colorful Calf Contest Respectfully titled after longtime Nebraska Texas Longhorn Association President, Rodger Damrow, who was very fond of colorful calves, this year’s contest drew 63 entries. Bonnie Damrow was honored to judge the entries and her pick for overall winner can be seen on this month’s cover. In the Texas Longhorn industry there are events that look at two out of three aspects of the breed, conformation and horn, but never has there been an event that features the uniqueness of colors so evident in the breed. This is a competition where everyone wins and it is affordable for all. Every entry is guaranteed publication in Trails with the owners name and ranch noted and, where else can you get a chance to be on the Trails cover for $20? Keep those cameras ready and start taking photos of your 2022 colorful calves to enter this year. The top three finalists are showcased first, followed by all the competitors (alpha by owner) for this title celebrating the distinctly colorful Texas Longhorn. Any Texas Longhorn calf born to two registered Texas Longhorns was eligible (some were too young to be branded and registered in time for the contest) and each entry cost $20. A great way to show off your colorful offspring and have a chance to make the cover of Trails Magazine. We appreciate everyone who took the time to participate and hope everyone will enjoy the festive displays of color on the following pages.

ASK THE

VET

WITH JULIE PACK, DVM

Doc, what do I really need on my health certificate to go to a show or sale?

The answer to this question will depend on what state you are coming from and what state you are going to. But there are some universal guidelines that will make sure you are 100% legal in every state. Most importantly, when in doubt call the state vet in the sate of destination. Their office can always give you the most up to date information. This information changes often and many vet clinics just plain don’t have the staff to chase down all the regulations every time they get updated. Your vet will love you if you come knowing what you need. These tips will serve as a basic minimum guideline, always consult your vet or state vet before crossing state lines. For all beef cattle, individuals must be identified by an official ID. For most states this does not include brands (even in brand inspection states). Your cattle (males and females, excluding calves at side) will need either a metal USDA tag (orange “Bangs” tag or silver ID tag) or an 840 series RFID tag. This number as well as the animal’s registered name should appear together on the health certificate. Females that have been OCVd MUST have a LEGIBLE tattoo to be noted on the health certificate. For shows, many states that would otherwise require cattle to be OCVd will waive the requirement. For sales, some states REQUIRE all imported females to be OCVd and to have a legible tattoo to enter the state. You should familiarize yourself with your state’s import requirements before attending a sale so that you do not purchase and animal that is illegal to import. As a seller you should always do your due diligence to make sure prospective buyers know if you animal is able to be imported to any state. Some states also require trich testing on bulls, age requirements will vary. To be safe consider trich testing any bulls 12 months of age or older. For bred females, blood testing results are not the preferred method. If you do choose this method your health certificate should contain a statement from your veterinarian that the female has only been exposed to trich negative bulls. Ideally animals would be palpated or ultra sounded and the gestation stage noted on the health certificate. Some states require all bred females to be either 4+ months pregnant or to be certified to be only exposed to trich negative bulls. Finally, most states no longer require TB or Brucellosis testing if the animal originates from a TB/ Brucellosis free state. Some shows/sales may require additional testing such as TB/Brucellosis/Johnes/ BVD/Trich. Ensure these test results are current and included on your health certificate and a copy of the test results is attached Until next time, may your pastures be green and your calves be healthy!

Shows

What’s The Deal Not long after someone gets the showing bug with Texas Longhorns, come the inevitable questions, “How many points do you have? Are you qualified for World Show? Are you in the top ten?” Here’s a look at how those points calculated and why it takes so long before an updated list is provided.

CALCULATION Did you know that points are calculated differently in the open divisions vs. the TLBT (Youth) classes? The TLBT points are the easiest to calculate and, that is a good thing, with the amount of scrutiny they can be under as it gets closer to June and the World Show. The points in the TLBT division are earned by the exhibitor.

Each TLBT member receives show points for:

A) 20 points for just participating in the show. All you must do is have one animal in the show that is judged to earn these points. Note: no points are awarded at any time to an exhibitor handling a calf at side. B) 25 points for every time you are judged in the ring. If you have four females and two bulls, if they are not excused, a TLBT member will earn 150 points, no matter the placing. Again, does not include leading a calf at side. C) 25 points when judging in a championship drive. This is where it can get a little confusing for some people. If you win with your class three female, you will receive 25 points from that class and an additional 25 points for the junior championship drive. However, you do not receive any additional points for the junior reserve drive. If you were second in a class and that class winner is selected as the junior champion, once your animal is judged in the junior reserve drive, you will receive 25 points. This same scenario applies to the senior drives and for the overall grand and reserve grand drives. To add a little more about the various drives, a reminder again, the points are going to the exhibitor. If you qualified two animals for a drive, another exhibitor will have to show one of your animals in that class and they will receive their own 25 points. That’s why it’s so important to let those in make ready (or anyone keeping track of points) know when a new exhibitor comes into a drive (or 40 | March 2022

takes in an animal they are not listed with in the program). Everyone knows it can get hectic at the entrance gate so please take the time to let those in charge know when you’ve added or changed an exhibitor or made a switch. It is easier at this point than when the office is contacting you several weeks later with your name listed on two animals in a drive. D) 20 points is earned by everyone participating in showmanship. If you are selected in the top three for your division, there are more points awarded. First place receives an additional 100 points; second place receives 50 points; and third place receives 25 points.

For the open divisions, points are awarded to the animals. In a class, one point is awarded for competing and one point for every animal they are placed ahead of in the final standings. If there are six animals in a class, points would be awarded from first through sixth as: 6 – 5 – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1. If an animal is awarded as the junior or senior champion, they will receive 25 additional points. The reserves for junior and senior, will receive 15 points. An animal that is awarded the overall grand champion is awarded an additional 50 points, while the reserve grand will receive 35 points. As an example: Your female is the class ten winner over 10 other animals. She is then also the senior champion and is awarded the overall reserve grand champion. She will have earned 11 points in her class; 25 points as the senior champion; and 35 points as the overall reserve grand champion. Her total of the show will be 71 points. Each show chair is responsible for initially entering

With POINTS? each show entry in the HORNS system, making all the changes or updates after a show and putting in the correct placings. A copy of a marked show program is sent to the TLBAA office where the results are reviewed, questions answered and finally the show is made official and points are awarded. The more accurate and timely show results are provided, the faster new points standings can be posted!

QUALIFYING FOR WORLD SHOW But, did I qualify for the World Show? Another thing to remember is, the animal qualifies for World Show, not the exhibitor. For each class, and it applies to any TLBT, open, non-haltered or miniature class, the top two placings are considered qualified for World Show. What if those top two qualified earlier in the year? The two qualifiers per class will continue down the placings until two animals have qualified or the end of the class is reached. If you put forth the effort to attend shows, most animals will be able to qualify. A list of current year qualifiers is available to review on the TLBAA website. Please do remember, if your bull qualifies early in the year and you decide both of you would enjoy life better if he was a steer, he must qualify as a steer to participate in World Show. If you have a female that shows in both haltered and non-haltered and is lucky enough to qualify in both divisions, please remember, she can only compete in one of those divisions at World Show! Something else to keep in mind, the qualification entry forms are printed with the current owner’s name and that is who receives the information. The office is happy to help track down those forms and send a copy to the exhibitor. The forms must be signed by the current owner.

ADDITIONAL TLBT POINTS It is quite the honor for a TLBT member to finish in the top ten in their age division. You will be recognized at the banquet that concludes the World Show but it is an accomplishment to be proud of for all your hard work and dedication that went into the show year. A TLBT member can earn points by recruiting new participating TLBT members. That new member must participate in a minimum of two TLBT events during that first year. You can earn 25 points for each new member, up to a maximum of five each show year. Participating in the Gold Merit competition at World Show will earn you an additional 100 points. You must complete all phases of the contest to earn your points. Additionally, those who finish in the top three in their age divisions are recognized during the World Show banquet and by the TLBT.

A TLBT member who serves as a director or officer of the TLBT – whether on the overall TLBT board or as part of an affiliate organization – will earn 50 points for each board. The listing must be furnished to the office by an adult officer of an affiliate. Another way to earn quite a few points is for a TLBT member is by presenting educational speeches and seminars throughout the show year. Each speech or seminar is worth 50 points for the TLBT member. A member can give up to five seminars during the point year and must supply an outline of the seminar topic, a list of those participating or in the audience along with a parent or teacher verification on the seminar form found on the TLBAA website. The speeches must be from three to five minutes in length given by a TLBT member on a topic in the Texas Longhorn industry. A maximum of 15 speeches are allowed each show year. The member must provide a copy of the speech, along with a list of those participating or in the audience with proper verification by a parent or teacher on the worksheet available on the TLBAA website. All completed worksheets and back up information must be turned in by the youth member within 30 days of the speech/seminar in order to receive their points. Additional documentation can be provided, including photos.

NEW FOR THE 2022/2023 POINT YEAR! Beginning on July 1, 2022, the seminars and speeches must be spread out during the point year. Each TLBT member will be allowed to submit up to TWO worksheets for a seminar or speech for each month in the point year. As an example, two may be submitted for July, 2022; another two for August, 2022; etc. There is a maximum of 15 speeches and five seminars allowed to be submitted during a point year. In previous years, the majority of the speeches/seminars were given and submitted during the last 90 days before the deadline. With a maximum of two allowed per month, this will force these points to be spread out during the point year for both the TLBT member and TLBAA staff required to enter that information. Note, ALL additional point opportunities must be submitted by the entry deadline for the World Show which is typically May 15. It is important when a new points listing comes out in E-Trails, to look over the TLBT points and the animal points under each individual category. If you feel you see an error or just want to double check, please don’t hesitate to contact the office. It is much easier to resolve any show results issues during the year than right before the World Show. Now, go out there and earn those points!

Texas Longhorns Show at Cattlemen’s Congress For the First Time The Cattlemen’s Congress show has quickly become on of the premier cattle exhibition events in the country, and in 2022 the Texas Longhorns helped kick the whole thing off! Part of the kick off weekend included the TLBAA hosting a New Year’s Eve party on the show grounds that welcomed Texas Longhorn breeders, as well as many from other breeds. We would like to thank The Source Syndicate for sponsoring the party. The cattle then moved on to the big stage under the bright lights in the Jim Norick Arena for Mr. Victor Guerra (who made it to the show despite cancelled flights and lost baggage) to sort the Open Show, and Mr. Blake Nelson to judge the Youth Show. The TLBAA and Texas Longhorns were welcomed with open arms by show management, other exhibitors, and by public in attendance. There were over 3,500 animals on-site that weekend, and the Texas Longhorns were front and center for all festivities. Cattlemen’s Congress was a tremendous opportunity to put the Texas Longhorn in the spotlight on the national stage, including participating in the Supreme Drive for American originated breeds. Thank you for Robertson Cattle, Tanner Longhorns, and Chaparral Cattle Co for bringing your Grand Champions back for that prestigious event.

Health

Detecting Signs of Illness in Calves A good stockman can tell the difference between a healthy animal and a sick one. If you can detect subtle signs of early disease, you can begin treatment quicker. Early detection and early treatment can often make the difference of life or death, quick recovery or prolonged treatment for that animal. The best way to become a good judge of health, and to “read” subtle signs of early symptoms of disease is to spend time with your cattle.

A sick animal does not expend any more effort than necessary. If you are moving the herd from one pasture to another, the sick one tends to end up at the rear, traveling slower. The more serious the illness, the more indifferent the animal may be and the more reluctant to move. At the other extreme is the abnormally excited animal.

Severe feet higher than hinds), for easier belching of gas.

CHECKING VITAL SIGNS There are any different diseases but they usually affect pulse, temperature and respiration rate to some degree. First signs of illness may be mild and go unnoticed, but close attention to vital signs (checking heart rate, respiration rate and temperature, if need be) can be clues. Normal temperature for cattle ranges from 100.5 to 102 degrees F, though 103 might be normal on a hot day. Unlike humans, ruminants have a wider range of normal due to their fermentation method of digestion--which produces heat. Their bodies can safely accumulate heat, up to a point. Temperature of cattle can vary, depending on physical activity, time of day, and environmental temperature. In cattle, body temperature of 103.1 to 104.6 is considered mild fever; 104.5 to 105.8 is moderate fever; 105.8 to 107 is high fever. Pulse rate in adult cattle is 40 to 80 beats per minute (100 to 140 for young calves). Respiration rate for adults on a cool day, is 10 to 30 per minute (30 to 60 for a young calf), and higher on a moderately warm day. Higher rates are normal on a hot day; lower rates are normal on a cool day. Pulse and respiration rates also vary with age (young animals have faster heartbeat and respiration), the animal’s activity, time of day, etc. To check respiration rate, watch the animal’s flank or chest movements; each in and out movement counts as one breath. To make it easy, count respirations for 15 seconds and then multiply by 4 to get the respiration rate (how many breaths per minute). To check heart rate and temperature, the animal must be restrained. A small calf can be held, but a large calf should be in a chute. Easiest way to check heartbeat is with a stethoscope over the heart (left side of the ribcage, just behind the elbow). In a young calf, however, you can often feel the heartbeat with your hand. The pulse can also be found with your fingers, pressing on certain areas of the body where the superficial arteries are in soft tissue and can be pressed against the bone beneath them. You can easily feel pulse on cattle by pressing your fingers against the middle artery on the underside of the tail, about 6 inches down from the tail head. Another spot is under the lower jaw, where a large artery crosses the lower edge of the jaw just in front of the big cheek muscle. When you place your fingers flat on the cheek in front of that muscle and move them back and forth, you can feel the artery. Once you locate it, hold it steady with your fingers and apply gentle pressure, to feel the pulse. Temperature can be taken with a rectal thermometer. If the animal’s temperature is elevated (above 102.5) this is usually an indication of heat stress or infection. If temperature is subnormal (below 100), the animal may be cold, or very ill and going into shock.

Message

What is success? By definition, success is “the accomplishment of an aim or purpose”. Although this certainly defines the word, it doesn’t provide a clear idea of how or why we strive for success. When I think of success, I don’t think about the banners on the wall or the buckles on the shelf. To me, success is knowing that I am pushing myself to do better every day. It is looking out into the pasture and seeing MY brand on MY show cattle. It is seeing the exhibitors that I helped get started finding their own success. When I started showing Longhorns in 2014, I did not have a clear idea of what I wanted from this breed. However, by watching experienced exhibitors and talking with mentors, I found my ‘why’. I am not showing longhorns because I want to add more awards to the wall. Sure, those are nice, but I am showing because I want to make an impact on the lives of others and help them find success. I want to keep this organization moving forward, while also protecting our legacy. I want to have pride in my show cattle, because I know how much work it took to get where I am today. So, while success may look different for everyone, It is important that we strive to achieve our goals and build others up along the way. As we come up on the last few months of the show season, It is important to stay focused on our goals. I encourage you to ask yourself “What does success look like to me?”. #buildingabettertomorrow

We just finished the National Western Stock Show here in Denver, CO on 21-22 Jan 2022. This is the only dual association show in the country where both ITLA and TLBAA animals can be shown together at the same show. It was a lot of fun, although the weather might have been a little more cooperative, but that’s Colorado for you. The show facility NICKY ADAMS was brand new and beautiful! The building is PRESIDENT WILDFIRERANCH@ELPASTEL.NET split into two sides, one for sales and the other for showing. It is heated and cooled for various times of the year. The “yards” are also mostly new (they saved some of the historical parts of the old yards) with state of the art pens. We had a great showing of exhibitors for this year’s show after it was cancelled last year due to Covid. We had 78 entries in the loose show, 23 entries in halter show and 18 youth entries shown by a total of 6 kids. We had breeders from Colorado, Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Wyoming. Our youngest youth exhibitor was 20 months and our oldest youth was 17 yr old. We had several new breeders bring animals to the show and do well in placing! Our judge Doug Burris is from Ohio and did a great job judging for us this year. Our youth judge was Travis Casey from Calhan, CO. Travis is somewhat new to the Longhorn world but not to cattle.

Affiliate News On February 12th, we once again hosted a show in conjunction with the Matagorda County Fair and Livestock Association in Bay City, Texas. Despite the San Antonio Show being held the same weekend, we still had a good turnout that included 59 entries and 18 youth exhibitors. A calf drawing for non-Longhorn exhibitors was held the previous two years as part of our effort STEPHEN HEAD to promote the Texas Longhorn breed to the general public. It was exciting PRESIDENT HEADSHORNS@HOTMAIL.COM to see both of those steers competing at this year’s show. Even though the 2020 recipient graduated last season, her brother, Grayson Gornick, not only returned to show that steer but showed several more animals as well. If you’re interested in donating an animal for next year’s February 2023 show, contact Stephen Head @ (979) 549-5270 or headshorns@hotmail.com We are looking forward to seeing everyone at the 2022 Winchester Futurity and Cattle Baron Premier Longhorn Sale scheduled for March 4th and 5th at Brazos Valley Livestock in Bryan, Texas. The futurity will have 10 heifer classes and 7 bull classes, and Bear Davidson and Chase Vasut will be back to run the Calcutta. With 52 quality consignments from industry leaders and Longhorn enthusiasts, we believe our sale offers a great selection of genetics and variety that anyone would enjoy having in their herd. A link to the on-line catalog can be found on our Facebook page or at www.tlbgca.com/CBSSaleConsignments. If you aren’t able to attend the sale, you can bid on-line through Hired Hand. Contact Rick Friedrich @ 713-305-0259 / rick@iseinc.cc or Steve McCauley @ 832-9957522 / mccauleycattlecompany@gmail.com for additional information. Our annual Spring Show will be held at Miracle Farms, just north of Brenham, Texas on May 14th & 15th. Saturday will be filled with a youth show, judged by Joe Mask, and will conclude with a dinner under the oak trees. At dinner we will award scholarships to some students graduating from high school and will give away some calves to younger exhibitors. On Sunday we will have a Miniature Show, a Trophy Steer (haltered) Show, and an Open Haltered Show, all judged by Beau Barrileaux. The deadline to enter is May 1st. We welcome and encourage your participation. For more details about TLBGCA or any of our events, check us out on Facebook or on our website, www.tlbgca.com.
