EDITOR’S NOTES
ANOTHER MILESTONE
This issue marks the beginning of the 35th year of Trails Magazine Just as often happens with anniversaries, not many people are aware of when an anniversary is when it is not their own.. I mention it here, as I think back over my own 20+ years working on the magazine, simply because I think we should all take a moment and realize how the world we are living in today has made us stop taking the time to enjoy milestones and to reminisce on how we got to where we are.
There is a noted lack of respect in today’s society, not only in younger generations but my own as well, for the people who sacrificed time, money and sweat into creating the life we came into. This tech-centric busy life we lead today keeps us feeling like we always have to be pushing forward and that we are smarter than all those before us because we can go to the internet and find any answer or watch a video and do something.
In the coming year we hope to highlight some of those who helped bring the Longhorn breed to where it is today. And they did it the hard way. They are responsible for the genetic pool that is creating the top Longhorns of today in all chosen uses of the animals.
Many people with busy lives buy Longhorns longing for the slower, simpler lifestyle and find out that while they do provide many hours of enjoyment, they do require a time investment of their own. Vaccinations, health care, fence mending, making sure they have water and are fed properly, there are a lot of things to keep you busy. This isn’t said to scare of those wanting to relax and enjoy looking across the field at this uniquely beautiful animals. Those relaxing moments do come and they are so worth a little time to make it all possible. It is merely to say be proactive. Read the articles like the one on castration and the many in other issues regarding feed, care, calving and other educational articles even if you think you don’t need that information at the moment. When the time comes to apply the information you may not have the ability to search the internet for it and learn on the spot.
There are lots of exciting things around the corner for our members to participate in. In this issue you’ll find information about two of our major events. Right around the corner in June is the TLBAA World Show in Belton, TX. A great opportunity to get together with breeders and to see the cattle and kids that have won throughout the show year. It also includes the Texas Gold Futurity which is open to everyone, whether you participate in shows or not. You can find information inside on both.
The TLBAA Horn Showcase is coming up in October and has a new location this year. Inside you will find announcements regarding location, satellite requirements, forms, sponsorships and more. It is a unique event and it includes a Select Sale and a futurity so there’s lots of ways to participate.
We hope to see you at one or both of these great events

The 5 W’s Of Vaccines
I get a lot of questions from new breeders about vaccinating and the answer is usually some variation on “well this is the basics, but every situation is a little different”. With that in mind, the following is a “quick and dirty” vaccine primer of the 5 Ws of vaccines for cattle.
Who? Basically all animals in the herd need to be vaccinated. Breeding animals, calves as well as trophy steers are all susceptible to disease and a comprehensive vaccination protocol will include all animals on a farm.
What? This is where it gets complicated. The basic core vaccines for cattle are a clostridial (usually called a 7 or 8-way or “blackleg” vaccine) and a respiratory complex. These two vaccines contain protection against 7 or 8 different clostridial diseases and the most common causes of pneumonia or “shipping fever” in cattle.
The bacteria protected against in a 7-way vaccine are Cl. chauvoei “blackleg”, Cl. septicum “malignant edema” Cl. Novyi “Black Disease”, Cl. Sordellii, and Cl. Perfringens types C and D “Enterotoxemia”. Since “blackleg” is the most common of these diseases the vaccine is sometimes referred to by producers as simply the “blackleg vaccine”. The clostridial vaccine is also available with Haemophilus somnus, Cl. Tetani “tetanus” and Cl. Haemolyticum “red water”. It’s never a bad idea to use the vaccine containing tetanus. Speak to your vet about the other diseases to determine if they are a problem in your area.
The respiratory complex vaccine is usually some variation on a 6+VL5. This vaccine protects against IBR “rednose”, PI3, BRSV, BVD type 1&2, vibriosis and 5 strains of Leptospirosis. This vaccine is especially important to the breeding herd as lepto and vibrio can cause abortions in pregnant cows. This vaccine comes in both a killed (ready to use) and a modified live (needs to be mixed and used immediately) form.
Other vaccines that may be useful to some producers include rabies, intranasal pneumonia “shipping fever” vaccines, wart vaccines and scours prevention vaccines. Talk to your vet about a good plan for your particular farm.
The only vaccine that you will have to get from your vet is for brucellosis. The brucellosis vaccine or “OCV” can only be administered by a veterinarian to female cattle between the ages of 4 months and 12 months. When your animal receives it’s one time vaccination
they will also get a green tattoo in their right ear and an official USDA ear tag. The number on this tag will be what is recorded as identification on any future health certificates written for that animal.
When?
Calves should be vaccinated just before or at weaning and then again 3-4 weeks later. The cow herd should be vaccinated annually. The timing of vaccination will depend on when your cows calve and which type of vaccine (killed or modified live) that you use. Some vaccines are safe for use in pregnant cows and some are not. Vaccines for specific diseases like calf scours must be given 3-4 weeks before the dam calves so that the antibodies are present in the colostrum for the calf.
Where?
Vaccines should be given in accordance with the Beef Quality Assurance guidelines in the neck. Vaccines are administered subcutaneously (under the skin). Some respiratory vaccines are given by squirting up the nose.
Why?
Most of the important production diseases can be prevented with vaccination. Losing an animal to an easily preventable disease can be heartbreaking. Obviously animals that travel to shows, sales and futurities are at higher risk, but animals that never leave the farm can be at risk too. Many of the clostridial diseases are present in the soil and can remain dormant for years. Cattle can also pass diseases over fences by nose-to-nose contact with neighboring cattle and by drinking contaminated drinking water.
It is also important to change needles between cows and every time you draw more vaccines from the bottle. This prevents your vaccine from becoming contaminated and prevents you from inadvertently spreading disease in your herd if you have a sick animal and don’t know it. Obviously sick animals, depressed/coughing/sneezing/off feed etc., should not be vaccinated as their immune system is busy fighting off the current illness and will not have the energy to react to the vaccine and start creating antibodies. Once these animals recover, they should be vaccinated and then they can be kept on the same schedule as the rest of the herd.
If you have any questions about developing a vaccine protocol, you should reach out to your veterinarian and work together to develop a protocol that works best for your individual herd.

Chairman, TLBAA Beef Committee
Q&A With a Longhorn Beef Processor
Mike Crawford, Longhorn breeder and owner of “Local Cuts” located in Zephyr, TX, took a few minutes to answer a few questions from a processors point of view.
Q: How many Longhorn customers do you have and where are you located?
A: Located in Zephyr TX. 25-50 Longhorn producer customers! Drive through Longhorn drop off. Average 60-70” TTT. Stress free. Set up to process Longhorns or any other breed.
Q: How does Longhorn beef in general differ from other breeds when processing?
A: Longhorns are leaner, they do not have as much fat cover, so you have to be smart about it. Typical beef is aged 14 days, but Longhorns should only be aged 7-10 days. Having a real understanding of the Longhorns is crucial.
Educating Longhorn producers is also crucial to help them get the most from their product. Educating yourself on Longhorn health and nutrition will help you get the most out of your beef!
Q: What unique challenges do horns present?
A: Knowing how to handle them is the biggest thing. Longhorns act differently in the pens than most beef cows. A big horned cow can get through a door no problem, but knowing how to handle them stress free is what’s important. Not every processor is going to want to even deal with the horns. Find a good one that will.
Q: Do you see more Longhorn beef producers grinding the majority of their beef or selecting for all cuts, such as steaks and roasts?
A: I think that’s where we can come in and give them guidance. Knowing our customers and how they are selling their product. So we can help educate the producer, so they can educate their customers. Education is key!! Some come in and just want to grind everything but I think they’re giving up an opportunity to sell different cuts and get a larger return on investment. The most important thing is having good butchers that know how to cut it!
Q: What are some steps Longhorn producers can take to make the process as simple as possible?
A: Seek education and guidance. Professional looking beef packaging. We have the equipment to do that
and professional packaging gives the consumer more confidence in what they are buying. Label, and brand your product! Custom labeling with your ranches information on it is critical. It will help your customers remember where they got it so they can come back!
Q: Do you feel you would benefit from being a part of a national registry for Longhorn friendly processors?
A: Yes, that would be a good resource for the Longhorn nation!
Mike’s final thoughts: As you are reaching out to processors, if they tell you to take it or leave it, that’s not the processor you want to work with! You want a processor who can give you guidance, with butchers on staff that can cut and package in such a way that it’s beneficial for you as a producer and for YOUR customers. Lastly, there is an uphill battle as a Longhorn beef producer. Longhorns have less recognition as beef, it will take a lot of marketing to get consumers to recognize it as a quality product just by labeling it “Longhorn”. Labeling like, “natural, lean, healthy, or grass fed” are keywords that consumers can understand.
With a Longhorn herd, you’re going to get some that just won’t make the cut and beef is a great way to cull them. A high end Longhorn eats the same amount of grass as your lowest value cow. Grass is so beneficial, we want to get the highest return we can off each animal. Every Longhorn has a purpose, so look critically at your herd. Some of them, their purpose is beef!
Andrew’s Final thoughts: The TLBAA beef committee is working on several projects that will add value to being part of the Registered Longhorn Beef Producers list.
As Mike mentioned in our interview, education is key!!
We will be hosting quarterly webinars, the first is this month on Saturday, April the 29th, where we will hear from a Purina rep about basic cattle nutrition.
Another project in the works is a list of Longhorn friendly processors, dare I say nationwide?
So be on the lookout for updates from the TLBAA Beef Committee as we continue to provide these resources for our fellow producers and their herds!
See Page 16 for an extensive chart of cuts for lots of great ideas for getting the most from your processed Longhorns! Find great charts on labeling terms, recipes and more at www.beefitswhatsfordinner.com.

Castrating Male Cattle – Timing and Methods
Any male calf that’s not intended to be a sire—and destined for beef instead-should be castrated. There are several ways to castrate calves and bulls. Regardless of the method, it’s generally less stressful for the animal at a young age. Daryl Meyer DVM, North Platte, Nebraska, says his personal preference is the earlier the better, and the cleaner the better. “Some people leave their bull calves intact until later to take advantage of natural growth hormones, but it is important for people to think about the next owner of those animals, and consider what that customer wants,” he explains.
“If you don’t want to provide the customer with a steer and are selling the calves as bulls, you must be willing to take the discount (bull calves being worth less per pound than steer calves). There are various methods/simple procedures to change that bull calf into a steer and pocket that extra money. And sometimes a bull calf you planned to keep as a bull doesn’t measure up to what you wanted, and you decide to make him a steer. The most common methods for castrating include banding and knife cutting.
“Lance Henderson invented what’s now called the Henderson tool. In his feeding operation, probably
40% of the male calves they buy are still intact have to be castrated after they arrive,” says Meyer.
The Henderson tool eliminates the risk for bleeding, when castrating bull calves or mature bulls. This tool is also being used for castrating horses. “The tool slides into a cordless drill, like a drill bit. Once you have the cord stripped down as you are removing the testicle, you clip this apparatus onto the cord and hit the drill
button. It quickly spins/ twists and crushes the cord and blood vessels,” says Meyer.
“To reduce complications in these older animals, it helps to really open up the bottom of the scrotum, and then use this apparatus. This eliminates bleeding, and if you are clean and give the animal some long-acting antibiotics you rarely get any infection.” If there is any drainage, the incision must be large enough to accommodate it.
“For awhile I went from cutting with a knife to using a bander, but then felt we had more problems (and more discomfort for the animals) using the bander. I went back to cutting them, even at this older age when they enter the feedlot,” Meyer says.
Castration, no matter which method is used, knocks those big calves for awhile and they don’t grow as well. “Plus, every once in awhile—before I got Lance Henderson’s tool—we’d have one that wouldn’t stop bleeding and we’d lose him. And there are some, particularly in a feedlot situation, even if you are being really clean, that get an infection and then you have to treat them, and you can still lose them. A few continued to bleed even though we’d clamp those vessels, and form clots up in there. You sometimes have to catch the animal again and clean those clots out and deal with the resulting infection,” he explains.
The discount between bulls and steers may vary in different parts of the country, but there is always a discount. “By the time the calf is 500 pounds a bull calf will be about 30 pounds heavier than if he had been castrated and not implanted as a baby. It would be logical to assume that if you castrate and implant that calf when he is young, he will be the same size as a non-castrated calf, and worth more per pound. He also has less stress when it’s done up front, and with a little implant in the ear, he’ll weigh just as much as the intact male at 500 pounds

Unless a bUll is being considered as a herd prospect, he shoUld be castrated and earlier is better.
and won’t have a discount in price,” Meyer says.
The only instance where it might be acceptable to wait that long to castrate a calf is when you originally thought the calf would be a bull. The bottom end of the bull crop may end up being sold as steers.
COMPARING METHODS
Most people who cas trate calves as babies either band them or cut them. “Even though banding is simple, quick and bloodless, personally I would rather cut them. I think the discomfort a calf endures is less, and for a shorter length of time when castrated surgically than when banded,” says Meyer. There is some irritation from the band until the dead tissue dries up and falls off and the raw area heals.
The banding may be easier for some people, however, and in some ways it is safer because there’s no bleeding and possibly less risk for infection, but it also must be done correctly or there are additional risks. If the band is not completely above the testicles and catches part of one, this creates on-going pain for the calf and a serious health risk. If you only get one (and the other testicle is above the band) the animal ends up being a stag, with bull characteristics.
“The banders for larger calves are effective. The one I used for awhile did the job, but I just felt that the cattle were uncomfortable for a longer period of time. The nice thing about cutting them is that you know for sure that you got both testicles. When cutting them young, there is less risk for serious bleeding than when they are bigger,” Meyer says.
“It is very important to keep everything clean when you are cutting calves. I recommend keeping equipment in a bucket of water and aa good disinfectant such as chlorhexadine.
This disinfectant has the broadest spectrum of activity (against a wide variety of pathogens) and is also non-irritating to the tissues. You also want to make sure the scrotum is clean. If it isn’t, clean it first before you start. Use clean equipment, and then follow up with a disinfectant spray. If it’s a time of year when there are flies, use a fly-repellent product as well,” says Meyer.
“If it’s a larger, older animal, I recommend giving some long-acting broadspectrum antibiotics, such as long-acting penicillin or tetracycline that gives at least 48 hours of antibiotic protection. If the animals are in a dry-lot type environment (rather than out on clean grassy pasture where they have room to move freely) they should be daily monitored, and moved around. Just like gelding a horse, these animals need to move around to help minimize swelling and complications.” Baby calves out on pasture with their mothers get plenty of exercise, but the older animals in a feedlot situation need to be moved around. This will help reduce soreness and swelling.
Pain management is also being discussed when castrating cattle. For instance, the Canadians are using local anesthesia, especially when castrating older calves. “In the U.S. I think we need to get people to cut calves earlier. I think this would be a huge accomplishment. Once we get that hurdle crossed, maybe then we can start looking at pain considerations. The important thing is to get them cut earlier,” says Meyer.
The main things to consider about castration are: 1. the earlier the better; 2. the cleaner the better, and 3. changing the mindset of stockmen to remember that the next owner is a customer—and you want that customer to be happy with what you are selling.

Horn Showcase Coming to Oklahoma City!
The TLBAA is excited to announce the 2023 Horn Showcase will be held in the Canadian County Expo Center in El Reno, Oklahoma, a suburb of Oklahoma City. The dates for the event are set for October 12, 13 and 14.
Some exciting new changes are planned for this year’s event. We will go back to offering one SELECT SALE for our consignors and buyers. This sale will be scheduled for the early afternoon on Saturday, October 14. Consignments will be evaluated and a selection process used to ensure the best genetics will be offered to our buyers. The consignment fee will remain at $350 and includes a measurement entry for the animal consigned. The deadline is July 15 but get your information in early! This sale offers everyone the opportunity to consign your outstanding females and highlight your breeding program. Be sure and look for the consignment form in this issue and send in early!
We will offer an AWARDS BANQUET for our members the evening of Saturday, October 14. We will utilize a banquet room adjacent to the sale and show arena. Be sure and make plans to attend the banquet to visit with new and old friends while honoring the winners from the Horn Showcase Measuring and Futurity.
The Horn Showcase itself offers numerous showing, educational and marketing opportunities for Texas Longhorn breeders and owners. Foremost is the chance enter the MEASURING CONTEST and see how your animals match up with others across the country. Remember, you have two ways to participate: Come to the event in Oklahoma or find a satellite location near you the weekend before (October 7 & 8).
The Horn Showcase will continue with its measuring contest to be held on Thursday, October 12. Making
the trip to Oklahoma City with your animals, enables you to also enter the FUTURITY and the chance to win part of the purse money available. In the Futurity, held the morning of Friday, October 13, more than the amount of horn is taken into consideration. A panel of five judges also evaluates the animals for conformation, color and overall body condition. It’s a good way to see what is considered desirable in the Longhorn world in general.
BULL ALLEY offers the best marketing opportunity for anyone with an outstanding bull. New for this year will be a stand alone full color Bull Alley program. Each bull will have their own page to advertise with their information, their progeny and their lineage. Additionally this year, all bulls will have a 10’ x 20’ pen included with their entry fee. But those large pens are limited so be sure and enter early! Your bull is advertised leading into the event and his moment alone in the ring as his credentials are highlighted. All bulls must be AI certified (so start that process NOW, if you need to) and have semen available for purchase at the event. For cow owners, this presents the chance to find bloodlines to compliment your animals. Bull Alley is preceded by a reception and will be held on Friday, October 13.
We plan to expand our VENDOR OPPORTUNITIES this year. As vendors are secured, watch the TLBAA website and Horn Showcase Facebook group for more information. There are also educational seminars scheduled during the event and plenty of opportunities to socialize and network with other Texas Longhorn enthusiasts. Mark your calendars in October for this “can’t miss event” and look for more information in the coming months.

Horn Showcase Satellite Measuring: What You Need To Know
The satellite measuring locations allow those unable to bring their animals to the Horn Showcase in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, the opportunity to enter the event and obtain an official measurement that will go on that animal’s record. Satellite locations are secured across the country with the hope that one will be convenient for those members wishing to enter the event.
How to become a Satellite Location
A facility needs to have a chute and other holding pens to properly contain an animal so the measuring crew can work and obtain the measurements safely and accurately. You will need to secure a minimum of FOUR individuals on your measuring crew. Everyone will need to watch the “How to Measure Horns” tutorial video that can be found on the TLBAA website. After viewing the video, each person will fill out and sign an “Official Measuring Team” form attesting to the fact the video was watched and understood. This form is returned to the TLBAA office by no later than three weeks before the event and kept on file. In no case can an owner or employee measure their own animal, so make sure you have plenty of people on your team. Ideally locations are secured far enough in advance to allow for advertising to enable those entering the opportunity to enter the event with a location selected. Beginning this year, all new satellite locations must be a minimum of four hours from an existing location or the Canadian County Expo Center. Additionally, each satellite must have a minimum of five animals measured with one animal hauled in by another owner or breeder. Please note, exceptions can be made dependent on circumstances.
When Do You Measure?
All satellites will hold their measurements on the weekend prior to Horn Showcase. For this year, that will be October 7 and 8.
Once approved, your location will be advertised as a satellite so that other members are aware of the opportunities in their area. It is up to you to decide what else to do connected with your measuring day. Several people set up lunches, farm tours – it is up to your imagination. We can provide information with your location and can send out an e-blast to help promote your event
What About Supplies?
Each satellite location will be provided with an official tape measure, string and cutting dikes. This will be
sent to you a couple of weeks in advance of the event.
The TLBAA office will supply you with a list of entrants scheduled to come to your location. The type of measurement will be listed as well. Each animal can enter one, two or three types of measurements – Tip to Tip, Total Horn, and Composite. Additionally, for those that qualify, they may enter the Twist measurement.
After obtaining the measurements and filling in the numbers, the form is returned to the TLBAA office by no later than noon on the following Monday.
Satellites Vs. Going To Oklahoma City
Many choose to just compete in Horn Showcase via the satellite measurement sites. Everyone entering is eligible to win a bronze, a buckle or other award (your choice) if they are first in their class no matter where they are measured. Satellites are often the choice for those not wanting to trailer their animal a long distance or if the Horn Showcase weekend is not convenient for travel.
However, those that choose to enter Horn Showcase and come to the Canadian County Expo Center, there is so much more to do! Being measured in onsite allows you to know almost immediately how you placed in your class. Coming to Oklahoma City also gives you the opportunity to enter the Horn Showcase Futurity and earn prize money. A five-panel team of judges evaluates the whole animal with scores between 60 and 80. The low and high scores are dropped. Depending on the size of class, first place payouts are often over $1,000. Those animals that win both their measuring class and Futurity class will be awarded a Superior Award.
Other activities in Oklahoma City include Bull Alley which is your chance to examine the top bulls and buy semen at a show special price. It is also your opportunity to purchase your next cow at the Horn Showcase Select Sale. The Horn Showcase banquet is also a popular event to attend and a great way to cap off the weekend!
OK, I’m In. I Want To Host A Satellite Now What?
All you need to do is contact Horn Showcase Committee satellite liaison, Natalie Chaney at 336-978-7574 or mclonghorns@gmail.co. You can also contact the TLBAA office, 817-625-6241 or salesandevents@tlbaa. org.
Check the TLBAA website to find a satellite location near you!

Robert ”Bob” Allemand
April 2, 1943 – January 9, 2023
Bob was born in Shaunavon, Saskatchewan and Passed away peacefully at home near Shaunavon, SK with family at his side.
Bob Married his Sweetheart in 1966 Sharon Humphrey. They had 2 children: Daryl & Bonnie.
And as Daryl put it “They were privileged to watch their parents love for each other and to watch them work as a team building a legacy and raising a family.”
Bob loved farming and ranching, and along with it came responsibilities that he made sure to instill in his children. As the Family grew, Bob welcomed each inlaw and grandchild with love. The latest was in June last year, a great Grandson who could put the most amazing smile on Great Grandpa’s face.
Bob knew the importance of the people in his life and always made time for family, friends, and neighbors. He loved the get togethers, the hunting trips, brandings, and camping. Later, Bob and Sharon enjoyed some longer trips including to Texas to visit their Longhorn Friends there.
Bob loved hunting, he took a taxidermy course and started doing this for the love of the art.
In 1970, the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation asked Bob to be the measurer for Southwest Saskatchewan, this was a position he held for 52 years. In this time, he has put the tape on 253 Record animals and was proudly one of three measurers of the record book Hanson Buck. He also measured for the Pope and Young Club and Boone and Crockett World Records.
As the farm grew, so did the workload but he never backed down from the challenge. In fact, he was always seeking out the next challenge or opportunity to change things up for the better. This, along with his passion for western history inspired him to buy his first registered Texas Longhorn cow in 1983. You could always find Bob taking grain to these cows in order to take their pictures. He loved to show them in Calgary, Red Deer, Regina, and Saskatoon. Winning shows and awards throughout the years. He was a founding member of the Canadian Longhorn Association and proudly hosted two field days. This part of Bob’s livelihood allowed for him to add many more lifelong friends.
As per the family here are some of the greatest impression or impact that Bob had on their lives.
• Family matters
• Be kind, respectful, patient, calm, levelheaded and humble.
• Work hard.
• Leave it better than it was before.
• Help where it is needed.
• Think things through.
• Follow your dreams.
Bob was a leader and a mentor. He set an example for us all. He always had a twinkle in his eye and a friendly greeting for everyone. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and community.

Red McCombs, Texas Business Icon and Entrepreneur, Passes Away At 95
Red McCombs – beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend – peacefully passed away surrounded by loved ones on Sunday, February 19, 2023. McCombs was a multiindustry business magnate known for his local car dealerships, pro sports team ownership, generous philanthropy, and bigger-than-Texas personality. With a booming voice, classic drawl, and mop of red hair, McCombs left a legacy in line with his lifelong desire to support San Antonio and all of Texas.
He is preceded by his wife, Charline, in December 2019. Red and Charline were truly life partners, enjoying 69 years of marriage. From sports team ownership to their charitable giving, every major decision and action was made in tandem. Red’s loving affection for Charline was well known and he was often quoted saying that “of all the business deals I’ve made, the only lifetime contract I’ve ever signed was with Charline.”
McCombs was born on October 19, 1927, in Spur, Texas. While his birth certificate reads Billy Joe McCombs, only his parents and siblings used that name – to everyone else he was simply, Red.
Growing up in the Great Depression, a strong family value was cemented at a young age. Despite the whole family, including three other siblings, living on his father’s $24.75-a-week Ford mechanic’s salary, Red saw his parents tithe each Sunday at church. Moreover, as drifters came through town looking for work, he watched as his mother would provide bedding and food for anyone who came begging. Red saw and felt the joy of giving to others and made it an integral part of his life.
After serving in the Army after World War II, Red used the GI Bill to study at the business and law schools at The University of Texas at Austin. While waiting for a corporate job to begin, Red joined a friend to sell cars at a Ford dealership in Corpus Christi. After selling ten in one weekend, he was hooked and never made it to that corporate job. McCombs immediately began selling 30 or more cars a month, and within half a year set out on his own. McCombs Enterprises traces its roots to 1953, when Red began McCombs Used Cars
on Water Street in Corpus Christi.
When Red’s first and only boss, Austin Hemphill, was having financial troubles at his San Antonio dealership, he called his former star salesman to come to the rescue. Red sat down with the sales team of 15, laying out the framework of how they would begin operating. Quickly, 10 of those salesmen walked out the door. Red then turned to the remaining five and promised them that if they stuck it out with him, he’d see to it that they each became car dealers eventually. Within a few months, Red sold his way back into a stable financial position, earning ownership of what is today now Red McCombs Ford. And yes, he kept his promise in getting those five salesmen their own dealerships.
While growing his car dealership empire, which would later reach more than 60 stores, Red and his family fell in love with San Antonio. It became home for them and would be for the remainder of his life. When presented the opportunity to help with Hemisfair, Red jumped at it. Red’s connections with Ford secured the Ford Pavilion and subsequently attracted other corporate exhibitors. What he then realized, much to his chagrin, was how the ma jority of corporate Amer ica overlooked what they viewed as a “dusty old cow town.”
Red realized that San Antonio needed to be “put on the map,” and that the quickest way of doing so was via professional sports. With this in mind, he and a brazen team of speculators made a deal to acquire Dallas’ failed ABA team. While the first years were tough, the city of San Antonio eventually latched on to the Spurs and the common identity it offered for San Antonio. The team truly does belong to the people of San Antonio.
Red owned the Spurs two separate times, the latter of which ended with him handing the reigns over to the McDermott group and a collection of San Antonio businesses and families to ensure the team would forever remain in San Antonio. But it also allowed Red

to pursue another dream of his: the NFL. After working to get a team in San Antonio to no avail, Red took a chance and managed to buy the Minnesota Vikings. McCombs understood the importance of the Vikings to the state of Minnesota, and never planned on moving the team. He did realize, however, that their stadium situation would lead to the team departing Minnesota if left unresolved. After struggling to get stadium support for seven years, Red decided he wouldn’t be able to make that breakthrough and sold the team.
The joy of giving to others has always been important to Red, and with his business successes came the opportunity to make a bigger impact. Red’s passion for business and education found the perfect crossover at The University of Texas. In 1999, McCombs gave $50 Million to the business school, which the Board of Regents renamed in Red’s honor. Texas McCombs has consistently ranked at the top for its undergraduate and MBA programs, and especially its accounting, finance, information systems, marketing, and entrepreneurship departments. This is a particularly incredible accomplishment considering its peers are often ten times smaller in student count. Beyond the business school, Red has helped fund a brand-new softball stadium and the north end zone at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium, both named in Red’s honor.
In 2005, Red and Charline donated $30 Million to M.D. Anderson to create the Institute for the Early Detection and Treatment of Cancer. This program was a one-of-its-kind initiative to bring cross-discipline researchers in-house to take down incurable cancers. Most notably, the institute’s Dr. Jim Allison was awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine for his breakthrough with immunotherapy.
Beyond his notable major gifts, McCombs has given tens of millions to numerous San Antonio organizations; it all started by seeing the joy that came from giving to others during the Great Depression.
From the Corpus Christi Clippers to Clear Channel, Red has owned more businesses and told more stories than can be detailed here, but most of them are in his autobiography, Big Red. Red’s legacy will continue as the current and future generations of the McCombs family carry the torch and execute the vision he laid out.
McCombs Longhorn Legacy
Everyone in the business of raising Texas Longhorns has benefitted from Red and Charline McCombs’ involvement with the breed. Not long after they acquired their first Longhorns – a semi-load from Dickinson Ranch in Colorado – my family had the opportunity to make their acquaintance. And, aside from our common interest in the cattle, we enjoyed their friendship for the ensuing decades. Within a few years of that first Longhorn cattle purchase they had acquired a nice ranch near LaVeta, Colorado, a few miles from our ranch. They built a fine home at Cuchara, near the ski area development in which Red had a significant role. For many years he had Longhorns grazing in both Texas and Colorado.
Red’s sales events were epic gatherings and his hospitality unsurpassed. He and Charline “raised the bar” for pre-sale socials and for attracting new blood – and new money – to our industry. The marketing skills developed in the car business were applied to his cattle business, as well. When Red held a production sale, in conjunction with our Colorado National, he promoted it with radio commercials reaching six states! And he promoted the Texas Longhorn breed, not just his own cattle. All of us who raise Longhorns as a business owe a debt of gratitude to Red. We will miss his leadership in our industry and, especially, his kindness and friendship.
— Stan Searle, Searle Ranch
“This is not a hobby for me,” he said. “If it didn’t work out financially, I might have five or six head instead of 250. But it is a good business. I’ve been in it since 1978, and I enjoy it very much” — Red McCombs quote from a profile published in Trails Magazine, June 2013.
• He was the first to syndicate a bull for a half million dollars.
• He was the first to syndicate a bull for a million dollars.
• He was the first to make use of embryo transfer to genetically improve his herd.
• The first Texas Longhorn black tie “Legacy” Sale, held at the Westin Galleria in Houston was under the McCombs banner.
How many times have you heard someone say “Red McCombs was a friend of mine“ ?
I believe virtually everybody in the Longhorn business has said it, or thought it in the last few months since he passed. His contribution to the growth of the Longhorn Breeders Association membership is undeniable. I was standing in a group next to him at one of his “Big tent at the ranch” sales and heard Charlie Three say to Red, “You know we* have been in the Longhorn business a long time and you are kind of recent . . . . but you have taught some of us more about how to sell Longhorns in the last five years than we figured out in the last hundred.” Red had an incredible portfolio of talents, but you don’t go from a kid on a used car lot, to owner of one of the most successful Ford dealerships in the nation without being an expert not only on your product, but even more importantly on the motives of your potential customer to shell out the cash and take some home.
There is romance in ranching, Red knew how to identify the prospects, get them to come look, and then “JOIN the CROWD”.
I believe the variety of new longhorn buyers that Red attracted is as broad as the shapes of horns and color of hides of the cattle they bought. He made the business of Texas Longhorns FUN and the entire association will appreciate him for decades to come.
