EDITOR’S NOTES PUT YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD It’s Spring! Nothing refreshes one’s optimism more than budding flowers, calves hitting the ground and green grass coming up. As the sometimes daunting days of winter leave, a season of growth and expectation emerges and present and future Longhorn owners get excited about the next steps in their program. No matter what your program is, beef sales can be a way to get more for your stock that doesn’t meet breeding criteria. This month we get some tips from Charlotte Cote of Double C ranch in Massachusetts. Charlotte has been successful in building a market for her Longhorn beef in the Northeast and she shares some good tips to help you get started or move your beef program sales in forward direction. You can see her tips on pg. 16. Perhaps the biggest way to put your best foot forward in any part of the industry is to get quality images of your cattle, whether simply for a Facebook post, your website or advertising. If you’re even considering promoting an animal or consigning it to a sale, go ahead and work on getting those good photos now. They are important to show that your program is focused on quality. You can find some reminders on how to submit images on pg.34. The TLBAA World Expo is coming up fast. There’s still time to qualify, so take a look at the calendar on pg. 52 to find a show near you and get your hat in the ring to compete for a World Championship. It’s an event packed with chances to participate and enjoy good times with everything from a photography contest to a futurity, and of course, the TLBT National Youth Show and TLBAA World Show! You can learn more about what all goes on during the TLBAA World Expo on pages 12-15. The TLBAA Horn Showcase has some exciting announcements this month. Turn to pg. 22 to see more about the event as it returns to it’s birthplace - Fort Worth, TX - in November 2021. Keep an eye on E-Trails, the tlbaa.org website and May Trails Magazine for entry forms, sale consignment information and more. It is more than just a horn measuring contest and it is always a good time! I want to take a moment to say I appreciate my readers and contributors all for their patience and understanding with all the delays in Trails Magazine reaching them. I saw someone post that they just received their September 2020 issue in MARCH 2021! Postal delays along with getting behind on mail dates really created a snowball that I hope is melting with this issue. As we exit a very busy winter season, we hope to put our best foot forward this spring and bring you expanded editorial content that is both helpful and interesting. As always, if you know of a topic you’d like to see covered, drop me a line at myra@tlbaa.org. Blessings,

Shows
Join Us At The
34th TLBAA World Expo Join us for the 2021 World Expo to be held on June 23 - 27 at the Bell County Expo in Belton, TX. We celebrate our 34th year, our fourth in the Belton facility which has proven to have the grandeur befitting a World Expo. The 34th World Expo will feature the Texas Longhorn Breeders Association of America’s World Show, the National Texas Longhorn Breeders of Tomorrow’s Youth Show, the Texas Gold Futurity, Membership Meeting, Awards Banquet and so much more! Entries continue to be strong for the 2020/2021 show season even with some events having to cancel due to the pandemic. Thank you to all who participated and helped promote the Texas Longhorn breed in the show ring, the barns, and on social media. Invitations will be mailed out to World Qualifying exhibitors beginning in April. To receive a qualifying invitation, an exhibitor must have exhibited and placed 1st or 2nd in an affiliate or major show throughout the year. There are still a few shows left to get your animal qualified – check the show calendar for an event near you! Remember – invitations are sent to the listed OWNER of the animal so, TLBT members need to check with their animals’ owners to receive the qualifying information. The Longhorn Expo is much more than a show. It is a celebration of friendships, breeding programs, hard work and, of course, Texas Longhorns. This 4-day event features numerous activities and learning opportunities for Longhorn enthusiasts of all levels.
12 | April 2021
National TLBT Youth Show: Our National Youth Show showcases the future of the breed, our youth program - the Texas Longhorn Breeders of Tomorrow. Youth will present females, bulls and steers in their respective classes. This year we welcome Ryan Cummins as our youth judge. Additional activities will include Livestock Judging; whereby exhibitors will have the chance to compete by judging heifer, bull, steer and cow-calf classes. Gold Merit is a two-part event where exhibitors are requested to keep a record book for the year and give a speech in front of judges. Quiz Bowl tests exhibitor’s knowledge, from agriculture, current news, and health topics. The TLBT General Membership Meeting is the perfect time for youth to get involved as well as the election of new officers. The Premier Exhibitor Award continues for the third year at this year’s event. The competition has proven to be popular with participation from all four youth divisions. TLBT members earn points by competing in livestock classes, showmanship, livestock judging, quiz bowl, photography and Gold Merit. To be eligible, a youth must compete in ALL events. The high point youth will win a gorgeous show box sponsored by Deb Lesyk, Trigg and Traci Moore, Kevin and Laury Rooker, and Weldon and Kyla Lovejoy. Don’t miss this great opportunity!

Tips To Bolster
P
icking up from the butcher shop is one of the most exciting times for us. The freezers are stocked with all of our favorite cuts and our hard work pays off the moment we sit at the dinner table and take the first bite. Once the beef is put into our freezers we are at the height of the cost of processing beef. For every minute that it sits in our freezer our profit margin shrinks. It is in our best interest to sell it either before we pick up from the butcher or soon after.
HOW TO PRICE YOUR BEEF We have learned that rates vary from state to state. We find it best to track our expenses and then divide the weight of the packaged beef by expenses to get our cost per pound. With our cost per pound in mind we then do some comparisons to similar operations and set our price accordingly. Knowing your cost per pound is so important . If you don’t know your cost per pound, take some time to figure it out. It can mean the difference between running a beef business or having a beef business that runs you.
SELLING BEFORE PROCESSING There are several ways to sell it even before it’s processed. Selling a whole or half cow by hanging weight is the quickest way to collect your profits. While we don’t keep a whole or half in stock, we will sell based on our next butcher date. We give the customer the cut sheet and help them fill it out if needed. At this point they are in charge of the cuts and we simply bring the cattle to the butcher shop. As a courtesy we pick up from the butcher shop and deliver the Texas Longhorn Beef to the customer.
Having your logo on labels and packaging is an inexpensive way to market your beef business.
SELLING PACKAGED BEEF
Providing cut sheets like the one above can help market your beef by wholes, halves and quarters before it is processed.
INCREASING YOUR PROFIT MARGIN We retain the skull for finishing at a later date. Once we finish the skull we can expect to increase our profit margin. We haven’t personally sold hides however if you can collaborate with a taxidermist that will do this at a reasonable cost you can further increase your profits!. 16 | April 2021
Selling individual cuts directly to customers warrants the highest return on your investment however, it is the most time consuming. We speed up the process by marketing our dates that we pick up from the butcher. Customers get excited and want to get first choice. To increase our orders directly to customers we utilize Facebook, Google pages, Farmers markets , farm stands and our website. There are several ways to market your product without breaking the bank. A good example of this is packaging. Every cut should have your logo on it. The bag or box that you place the order in should also have your logo on it. We use a brown bag with handles, our logo is stamped on the front of it, every bag gets a ribbon tied to it, our business card, price sheet and the Longhorn beef brochure is attached to it. When we are at the farmers market and our customers are walking around with our bags it’s the best “free” marketing. Put some thought into your set up at the Farmers Market or Farm stand. We included our logo, pictures of

Your Beef Marketing the beef cooked and displayed to make your mouth water. It’s tough to get attention with a frozen burger however, if you grill it and melt the cheese just right ,capture a picture and use that to market. It works! Get a tablecloth with your logo on it. It helps to make your stand stick out and looks professional. Getting people to talk about the beef is another way to increase your sales. The most common questions that I hear being asked to customers is - Great weather today, How are you?. These questions are polite but they don’t engage the customer. Let them look at your display. Ask them if they have ever tried Longhorn beef. If they say they aren’t sure, tell them they’d remember! The flavor is amazing and like no other! If they haven’t tried Longhorn beef it’s your chance to talk to them about why they should and why you choose it for your family. One of my favorite lines to share with customers is, “If you serve guests a texas Longhorn Burger, they’ll remember. It’s the best!” Having cuts that make sense for the season is another tip. As we approach the Spring and Summer we begin to process for grilling cuts and stop getting roasts made. Roasts are great for the Fall and Winter seasons but they don’t sell quickly in the warmer seasons. We showcase grilling cuts with recipes and photos to get customers excited for the grilling season. A simple post on Facebook on a Thursday reminding customers to get their burgers or steaks for some weekend grilling can boost sales tremendously.

SECURE YOUR DATES Appointments with your butcher shop are arguably the most important thing on your to do list for a beef business. Here in Massachusetts and surrounding states the butcher shops are scheduled through 2022. We have ap-
pointments with three different butcher shops. All are USDA which is a requirement in our state. Using three different butchers has helped us keep up with demand during Covid months. There are many other benefits to keeping our appointments with three butcher shops. We strive to schedule a year out and to have animals lined up for each appointment. This system allows us to easily see where we might fall short. We are happy to help fellow breeders get started or boost an already existing beef program. We highly recommend joining the TLBAA Beef producers group. It’s $75.00 well spent.

Longhorn Beef
By TLBAA Beef Committee
TLBAA’s Registered Texas Longhorn Beef Program Continues to Expand Marketing and Education in 2021 The TLBAA Beef Committee expanded it’s efforts in 2020 to build the Registered Texas Longhorn Beef Program and continues to offer new and expanding assistance to program members in developing their beef program and marketing efforts. Following on the heels of an updated Registered Texas Longhorn Beef Producer Logo, brochure and event display materials, 2020 saw several more new developments for the program as well. Perhaps the most exciting of these was the launching of Facebook ads utilizing targeted marketing to collect sales leads of people interested in buying Texas Longhorn beef. With the assistance of Jason Hartline of Hartline and Partners, LLC, campaigns were launched in geographic regions where Registered Texas Longhorn Beef Producers were located. There were different ads to reach different interest such as people who were interested in barbecuing, those looking for healthy food choices, people interested in buying locally grown beef and as interested people submitted a contact form those leads were compiled and made available to current paid members of the program. Over 11,000 leads have been generated since Spring of 2020 until today.
Example of a Facebook ad promoting Longhorn beef.
Another thing the ads accomplished was to greatly increase traffic to the beef producer page on the TLBAA website, often keeping it in top three to five on the list of most visited pages. For instance, before the Facebook beef ads started, in 2019 the beef page ranked 10th in frequency visited with 4,185 unique page views. In 2020 when the ads began the year end ranked for the beef page was 3rd overall with 9,364 unique page views. As we go into 2021, the traffic to the website has increased thanks to Google ads running for the association and beef producers will also benefit from the 18 | April 2021
Private Facebook page for program members gives access to leads, marketing photos and more.
traffic generated by the Google ad grant campaigns if they have signed up for the program and get listed on the site. A private Facebook group and a password protected web page were also created to allow Registered Texas Longhorn Beef Producers to gain access to leads, marketing photography and interact with each other. In the works for 2021 is a benefit we’re very excited about. We are developing a series of webinars with the assistance of Charlotte Cote and Hartline that will cover topics such as how to set up and market your Longhorn beef program, how to accomplish specific tasks such as setting up a Facebook business page, Google business page, find a processor, create a label, answer common asked customer questions, work with your processor and much more. As they are developed, Registered Texas Longhorn Beef Producer program members will be given access to them. The target marketing will become even more specific to the states where program members reside instead of larger regions. This will accomplish the goal of making sure all member’s states/countries get covered by the beef ads. All leads will still be made available to all program members since many people ship or cross states lines in their marketing efforts. If you want to enjoy the benefits of this constantly expanding program, you may fill out a form online or download a form at www.tlbaa.org or email myra@tlbaa.org for more information. The cost to join the program is $75 and that includes 150 free marketing brochures sent to you at no charge. For more details see the ad to the right. The Beef Committee is comprised of Charlene Semkin, Wilton Wilton, Gordon Musgrove, Charlotte & Guy Cote, Matt Baca, and Ron Bailey. They welcome input and assistance from any interested TLBAA members. You can reach the committee by emailing semkin@ mindspring.com.

Longhorn Beef Emil Marks Steak
submitted by Maudeen Marks, LH7 Ranch
Get a Dutch oven. Use steak at least 2-3 inches thick; cut almost to fit in the Dutch oven. Put salt in the bottom of the Dutch oven so that there is salt all over the bottom. Heat the salt. Just before it scorches, throw in the meat, Put the lid on the Dutch oven and place it on the camp coals. Check in about 15 minutes. When it is cooked halfway through on one side, flip it over. Cook. There will be no grease in there, Salt acts as a heat conductor and will cook that steak all the way through and retain all the juices. Note: My father never would touch as much as a toaster inside the house but outside he could cook anything. His steaks were absolutely delicious, tender and cooked through with no extra grease. Calling all cooks!!! We want your recipes! If you would like to have your Longhorn beef recipe featured in Trails, please send an email to Myra Basham at myra@tlbaa.org.

2021 Horn Showcase Returns to Cowtown! The TLBAA is excited to announce the 2021 Horn Showcase will return to the association’s home base of Fort Worth in the Will Rogers Complex. The dates for the event are set for November 11, 12 and 13. The event had been held in Lawton, Oklahoma since 2015. Returning to Fort Worth offers members the chance to explore the additional opportunities in the city “Where the West Begins.” The Will Rogers facility is located within walking distance to six world class museums: Amon Carter Museum, Fort Museum of Science and History, Kimbell Art Museum, Modern Art Museum, National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame, and the Cattle Raisers Museum. There is also a diverse group of restaurants all within a few miles. The Historic Fort Worth Stockyards is a few minutes away and is a popular area for western history, unique attractions, and great dining and shopping. It is also home to the Fort Worth Herd and the twice daily cattle drives up Exchange Avenue bringing back the feel of the early days of the West.
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 Fort Worth or find a satellite location near you the weekend before (November 6 & 7). 22 | April 2021
But Horn Showcase is much more than seeing who has the most horns; if you make the trip to Fort Worth with your animals, the Futurity and the chance to win part of the purse money beckons. In the Futurity, 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. The Select Sale offers everyone the opportunity to consign your outstanding females and highlight your breeding program. Consignors offering their best allows for buyers to purchase new bloodlines for their herd. Look for consignment information on the TLBAA website and in upcoming issues. Bull Alley offers the best marketing opportunity for anyone with an outstanding bull. 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. 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 November for this “can’t miss event” and look for more information in the coming months. We’ll see you in Cowtown!
Keep an eye out on our website and the May Trails for Horn Showcase updates.

Battling the Flies that Bother Cattle Flies are a continual problem during warm weather, but there are several ways to reduce these pests. Different flies have different habits and behavior, so a combination of tactics is most effective if you are trying to reduce several types of flies. Houseflies and stable flies breed in rotting organic matter such as old hay, silage and other feeds, and bedding. Horn flies breed in fresh cattle manure but spend all their adult life on cattle. Horseflies/deerflies breed in swampy areas, and black flies breed in flowing water--often many miles away—so it’s impossible to control them at their breeding sites. Cattle producers need many different weapons and options for fly control.
ries (5000 for $19.95, 10,000 for $29.95, 20,000 wasps for $51.95). The key is to start using them early in the season before the fly population grows large, sprinkling them in manure areas around the barnyard and adding additional wasps every 4 weeks. These can help control manurebreeding flies in a small area like a barnyard or feedlot but won’t work in a large area like a big pasture.

or two tags are installed per animal. Horn flies in some regions and on some farms have developed resistance to pyrethroids. Organophosphate tags will control pyrethroid-resistant horn flies. Ear tags release insecticide most efficiently during the first two months after application. Feed-through products – There are several kinds of feed-through products that are added to feed or mineral mixes. They end up in manure and affect the species of flies that lay eggs in fresh cow manure. Some of these products contain a larvicide that kills the fly larvae, while other products contain insect growth regulators which affect the larvae, and they don’t mature to become flies. Injectable parasiticides – These are products containing ivermectin and related avermectins (macrocy-
clic lactones) that mainly target internal parasites but can also kill external parasites that feed on blood (such as horn flies). One of the newer products, LongRange, is injected subcutaneously and the protective effects last 100 to 150 days. Even though it is not labeled for flies, some stockmen are using it as a combination dewormer/fly control. Space sprays – These are concentrated products that you add to several gallons of water, for spraying around a barnyard or in a barn. An example is Pyrahha fly space spray for use in an automated barn spray system or small amounts added to a gallon or two of water for spot spraying around the premises. It provides quick knockdown and long-lasting control of most biting flies and mosquitoes. Vet Gun - This works like a paint gun, shooting a ping-pong size ball of insecticide, enabling the producer to “shoot” the product onto the cattle. It’s easy to walk around in the pasture or use a 4-wheeler or horse and dose the cattle. The gun doesn’t make much noise; it’s about like a BB gun. The insecticide it “shoots” is not a new chemical, however. It is lambda cyhalothrin, same as the active ingredient in Saber pour-on. This is a pyrethroid, so if your flies have already become resistant to pyrethroids it won’t be very effective.
Many producers use a combination of methods such as feed-through combined with ear tags or pour on.

Doc…
my prize heifer lost her two front teeth! What can I do? No worries! Cattle, like all mammals, have deciduous or “baby teeth”. They start losing their incisor teeth around 18-24 months old and have erupted all of their permanent incisor teeth at between 42 and 48 months. Also, if you’ve never looked in a cow’s mouth, don’t panic. They don’t have upper incisors like a horse. Cattle have a “dental pad” which is a toothless area that lines up with their bottom incisors that they use as a “cutting board” for their bottom teeth when grazing grass. So, your prize heifer will be just fine if you remember that at two years old she is not only loosing her teeth but trying to raise her first baby and get bred back for her second. Make sure she has plenty of good quality long forage (she needs something easy to get in her mouth since her primary cutting teeth aren’t in use at the moment) or that she has access to an appropriate supplement (such as cubes/cake or a liquid feeder/protein tub and good hay). Until next time, may your pastures be green and your calves be healthy!

Marketing
By Myra Basham
It’s All About Images The importance of a good photograph or graphic presented at the best resolution for it’s purpose cannot be stressed enough when it comes time to consign an animal, run a print ad or promote it via social media. If you have taken the perfect photo, but it is on a flip phone, the loss of quality when you try to run a print ad will turn your good shot into a bad representation. What can you do to get the best reproduction for the intended purpose? Here’s a few tips.
a file that will look good when printed at 300 dpi at the size it will be used. For the average ad, a 3 x 5 or 4 x 6 at 300 dpi animal photo will usually suffice. SEND THE UNEDITED PHOTO Unless you have some experience with photo editing and color adjustment, you should send an unedited version of your photo and let the person creating for you do the adjustments. If you have a version tweaked the way you like it, send both. Sometimes what you see on your monitor or phone may not match the color space when saved for print or different products or signage.

Many places leave it up to the customer to check their guidelines and submit suitable files for use. If you are using a graphic designer or marketing service, always let them know intended use if you ask for them to send you a copy of your logo or ads.

Presidents
Message
Circle Your Wagons.... January of 2021 started out terrific, with some beautiful calves born during a very mild winter on our property. The beginning of February, temperatures in North Texas plummeted to record lows, leaving ranchers and cattle navigating conditions we haven’t seen for years. Ranchers in the north of course know this all too well - ranching never stops. Animals must be watered and fed, checked on and bedded down in hay or in shelters. The first day of the cold streak wasn’t that bad. 25 degrees, a light freezing mist and wind that only cut through the first 2 layers of clothing. The first pasture to check has 3 cows, one of them with a 3 week old baby. What I saw that morning reaffirmed what we all know - Longhorn mamas are amazing. Snuggled into the middle of the hay bale was the young calf. She was surrounded by 3 mama cows, each staring off into a different area of the pasture. Circle your wagons and protect the young. A saying that I’ve heard since I was young, played out right before my eyes. A few days later, the temperatures dropped even lower and ice was forming on every surface. I again went to check on the young calf. This time, she wasn’t snuggled in the hay bale. In the middle of the pasture I saw her dam standing outside the loafing shed, ice formed across her head. She watched me closely as I approached. I found the other two cows snuggled inside the shed with the baby. At first, I was thinking the other two cows were being mean and not letting the heifers mama inside. I believe the other two cows were actually watching the baby and keeping her warm while her mother stood watch, guarding against any perceived threats. Watching the protective, loving actions of this small herd reminds me of growing up in the cattle barns. Kids run around the barn with friends, never hungry or thirsty because one of the mothers will take care of them. If the kids stray too far there will be show mamas herding them back to safe areas. If a kid doesn’t have a shirt, gloves a jacket or boots..... a mama will be there to make sure they have what they need. I am grateful for the nurturing love of mothers both in the pasture and in the barns. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas out there.

A Mother’s love is unconditional and she will find ways to encourage her children to succeed. Watch the outside of the ring at any cow show and you’ll find a line of mothers intently watching their kids in the ring. That love is a great example to the youth of the TLBT and it’s shown in the way the kids love their cattle. Allison Lowrie loves her steer Hi 5’s Fireball so much that she has found ways to ensure he stays on the ranch for a long time! With limited land space, each head of cattle has to have a purpose.... Fireball’s job is to help Allison promote Texas Longhorns by attending events where people can get hands on with these beautiful cattle. TLBT member Karlye Williams also uses her big steer, KB Colt 45, to help promote Texas Longhorns. Colt recently visited the historic Fort Worth Stockyards in preparations for some festivities downtown. Who else takes their gentle giants to audtions, interviews and parties in the middle of town?!?! Great job promoting these amazing cattle in AND OUT of the ring!!!

AFFILIATE UPDATES Meet another NEW MEMBER! Mark and Lisa Sanders ranch near the Badlands of South Dakota. 14 years ago, Lisa decided she wanted her own cow… something different than GORDON HOWIE their angus cattle. Soon they were hooked. PRESIDENT “We love the old style look of Longhorns GKHOWIE@YAHOO.COM and their hardiness, even in this cold climate. We don’t have a lot of Longhorns; we try and build our herd with the best quality we can afford. I cand ever imagine not having Longhorns.” The Sanders are another reason the GPTLA is growing and the Upper Midwest has become a Longhorn Hot-Spot. Longhorn fever has hit “the North country”, and it is highly contagious!! The Black Hills Longhorn Sale in February had six states represented on site, and bidders from many states participating online. Consignors from around the country are busy shipping cattle to the Upper Midwest, to buyers who are anxious to unload them in their pastures. The 2021 Longhorn Events include several GPTLA sponsored events, as well as events which are not “affiliated” with the GPTLA, but supported by the organization. August 20: 3rd Annual Regional Horn Measuring Event August 21: 3rd Annual Top Hand Invitational Longhorn Sale 2nd Annual “National Love Your Longhorn Day” 1st Annual “Points Only” World Qualifying Longhorn Show August 22: 6th Annual World Qualifying Longhorn Show

We haven’t shared any news for awhile as basically it has been a long hard winter and nothing has been happening. As with everything else COVID has limited our abilities to gather as a group. Here’s hoping that by the time you read this changes have been made and we will be planning 2021 activities. In the meantime, the Double D Arena has stepped up and is sponsoring two events DEB LESYK for all CTLA members. PRESIDENT The “Welcome 2021 Babies” invites all members to submit pictures of their 306-867-9427 2021 babies. The first five born will receive certificates from the CTLA and a medallion recognizing them. The babies must be from registered Texas Longhorn dams and sires. This contest will close June 1st and all pictures received will be featured on our website. You must be a current CTLA member to be part of the contest. The second event “Majestic Mamas of 2021” will invite members to take a picture of their oldest cow with her 2021 baby at side. Again, the baby must be from registered animals and the owner must be a current CTLA member. This contest will close July 1st and certificates and medallions will be awarded to the three oldest cows entered. Those three winners will be part of our affiliate news later in the year. Have fun with these, all you need is a current CTLA membership please send your entries to the CTLA office. Agribition is in the planning stages for November 2021 and this will be the 3rd year of our three year contract with them. As it is the 50th year celebration for CWA there will be great opportunities for promotion of the breed. We have submitted a request to be part of the First Lady Classic, an all breed yearling heifer competition where the animals entered must be haltered. Each breed is showcased in their own classes, so start looking for your best yearlings to represent the breed in November. The CTLA was very saddened to hear of the death of Les Herman in early March. Our thoughts are with Carol and her boys. Let’s hope 2021 will see the CTLA once again being able to get together for events.
CANADIAN TEXAS LONGHORN ASSOCIATION

In Memoriam
Leslie James “Les” Herman July 10, 1940 - March 9, 2021 Mr. Leslie James “Les” Herman, beloved husband, of Carol, passed away on Tuesday, March 9th, 2021 at the age of 80 years. He leaves behind to cherish his memory Carol; sons, Tim (Darlene) Herman, Greg (Donna) Herman, and Colin Herman (Mark Tagulao); grandchildren, Jenna (Jessie) Sanderson and Brendon Herman; brother-in-law, Ed Jans; sister-in-law, Bev Jans; numerous nieces and nephews through marriage; as well as his favourite old cat, Tiffany. Les was predeceased by his parents, Edward and Edna Herman. Les was born July 10, 1940 in Medicine Hat. Ranching was his entire life and it was his ambition to raise his family with respect and integrity. He served his community by working with various organizations…too numerous to mention. His family will honour his legacy, by continuing to “keep working together and keeping his family love as we move on”. Les lived at home on the ranch and received his final wish that was to pass there. He will be with us all, forever, in spirit. The family wishes to thank Dr. Jonker and Caring Hearts Medicine Hat for their excellent care and compassion. Our appreciation is extended to Cam Davis, Nathalie Lawrence, and the staff at Saamis Memorial Funeral Chapel for their care and thoughtfulness. At Les’ request no formal service will be held. Memorial gifts in Les’ memory may be made to AJ’s Loan Cupboard, P.O. Box 45006, MacKenzie Drug Post Office, Medicine Hat, AB T1A 0B1. Condolences may be sent through www.saamis.com or to condolences@saamis. com subject heading Les Herman.
A rancher, a family man, a businessman and a true gentleman with a love and respect for colorful, correct Texas Longhorn cattle. Those words only begin to describe some of the attributes of Les Herman, long time cattle rancher from Medicine Hat, Alberta. Death often takes the good ones and our industry lost one of the best. Always willing to help others, he played significant roles in the development of the Alberta Texas Longhorn Association, the Saskatchewan Texas Longhorn Association and the Canadian Texas Longhorn Association. He judged shows, futurities, jackpots and when Field Days were popular it was tough to beat his entries in the yearling heifer classes. He was always willing to mentor new breeders and helped them to make good decisions regarding the Texas Longhorn cattle they wanted to purchase. He will long be remembered for his knowledge of the breed and those evening phone calls to evaluate potential bull purchases. With sincere respect… Deb Lesyk CTLA President
Memorials are published free of charge based on information shared by the family or a close family friend. Additional information regarding involvement in the Longhorn breed may be provided along with the published obituary, or a customer memorial specifically for the Longhorn industry may be provided. It may be edited to fit available space. Please submit memorials, or any questions, to myra@tlbaa.org.
