EDITOR’S NOTES

LISTEN...READ...LEARN

This year’s Longhorn Weekend was very special indeed. There were many years of Longhorn knowledge and history in front of those who attended. If you did not understand the significance of recognizing those who have been inducted into the TLBAA Hall of Fame, both past and present, then go online and read past March issues of Trails Magazine where there are write-ups about why these people were inducted.

The men who were inducted this year, Bob Loomis and Eddie Wood were walking side by side with the past winners as they learned the Longhorn business, back in the day when the number one form of learning about raising Longhorns was by listening to those who came before, picking up tricks and tips as well as learning from their mistakes.

With technological advances such as easily accessible internet and artificial intelligence, one may think that learning and keeping up with current events in an industry such as ours should be far easier than in the past. Then why are phrases such as “I didn’t know that” or “Wow, you guys do that?”, becoming more, not less common?

Perhaps it is information overload. Even more likely, the world has been fooled into thinking that busy is better and that information is so easy to access that when I need it all I have to do is go type in a search query and voila - all the answers can be had.

The funny (not funny) thing about the internet and using a.i. to compile your answers...not all the information out there is accurate. Some information is conflicting and you really need to understand the context and the source of your “facts”. There’s also the problem of algorithms and how they determine what’s worth including in a search result. An article or study that specifically focuses on Longhorns may be considered obscure and not even show up on your search.

If you really want to become a Hall of Fame Longhorn breeder, or be nominated by your peers for a TLBAA Special Award, start by listening to other breeders talk about their programs. Go further than listening - ask them questions. Then, as your knowledge grows, turn around and talk to new breeders. Mutual conversation between people engaged in the same activity is the oldest form of education in existence. Much knowledge and experience in the day to day care, breeding and selection of a Longhorn is only touched on in written sources. That’s why getting to know the successful breeders who came before you can be invaluable.

Even if you don’t like to read, check out cattle magazines or some online forums...at the very least read the articles in Trails. You might come across information that is encouraging, helps you manage the health of your cattle and explains how to do everyday aspects of having a cattle breeding program or a beef program - or both simultaneously, as many do. The good thing about the written word - you can go back and revisit and refresh your memory on the information at your convenience.

Blessings!

From The TLBAA Chairman

s we come into the spring, we are anticipating a great year for the TLBAA and the Longhorn industry. We started our year off with an impressive Eddie Wood Cowtown Classic at the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo. We are hopeful that the market rides this trend into the spring. A market where good cattle demand good prices. There was a heavy marketing push behind this sale, funded by sponsorship dollars, that really improved the visibility of the sale at the Stock Show. We employed a marketing firm to do some targeted advertising towards some new audiences, that had previously not been targeted. The results were clear, if you engage people with a common interest, some new faces will show up in the crowd. We had eleven first time buyers at the Eddie Wood Sale this year and thirty-six first time registered buyers at the event. I truly hope that this engagement carries on to other longhorn events throughout the year. I do believe that a focus on marketing and membership should be a concentrated effort from the Board of Directors and the Association. An effective marketing campaign will drive new membership and hopefully revive excitement in existing members. Over the next year, we plan to continue a marketing campaign that focuses on new membership. This should benefit us all as our Association grows.

The Board of Directors is committed to maintaining the integrity of the breed and of the registry. At the request of the Members, we are establishing a DNA Committee to make sure that any new regulations or suggestions regarding DNA or parent verification are thorough and complete. This committee is currently being assembled and will work diligently and effectively with the Board of Directors to address your DNA concerns.

It’s setting up to be a productive year in the TLBAA! There’s many great things to come. I intend to help move the Organization forward in a way that makes everyone proud to be a TLBAA member. I look forward to an exciting year ahead with all of my longhorn family and friends! See y’all soon!

Josh Gentry TLBAA Chairman of the Board

LONGHORN WEEKEND: KICKING OFF THE NEW YEAR WITH A BANG!

Once again, the Texas Longhorn Breeders Association of America was a big presence at the opening weekend of the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo. Between the board and membership meetings, the Eddie Wood Cowtown Classic Sale, the various year end awards presented, and the TLBAA World Expo Qualifying Shows, there was something for every Longhorn enthusiast. Although it was the typical chilly January Stock Show weather, there was no precipitation to dampen those that attended or participated.

Friday had show and sale animals moving into the barns as the meetings began in the Round Up Inn. A new check in process for the show cattle proved to be a faster and more efficient option this year. The Affiliate meeting started the day of meetings, followed by the TLBAA Board meeting which included newly elected and re-elected seats in Division A, as well as election of Executive Committee members and Chairman. The TLBAA General Membership meeting followed, giving the members the opportunity to interact with the Board and have their voices heard.

The TLBAA Special Awards Presentation followed on Friday evening and gave everyone the opportunity to gather with old and new friends. Presentations were made for the Rodger Damrow Colorful Calf and

the member nominated and voted on TLBAA Special Award winners.

New for this year, the TLBAA Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony was conducted as a lead-in for the Eddie Wood Sale. All past Hall of Fame members and two new inductees were presented with a personalized championship buckle. The Fort Worth Herd was also recognized before the sale and presented with a $25,000 check from the TLBAA. The sale itself had generated lots of pre-sale buzz with the support of sponsors and an all-star lineup of consignments. You can find more in-depth coverage of the Hall of Fame and sale starting on pg. 30.

Following the sale, the TLBT and World Show Committee meetings were held near the Watt Arena with plans being presented for this year’s World Expo held for the first time in Abilene’s Taylor County Expo Center. You can find more World Show updates in this issue. Everyone then had time for a nice dinner and to rest up before the showing started. On Sunday, the TLBT Youth Show was held in the Watt Arena in front of a packed house with over 150 entries. You can see the results starting on pg. 28.

On Monday, a full day of Open Show animals in the historic Will Roger’s Coliseum began. Between the

Photos by Taylor Rankin (TLBAA) and Fields Fotos (www.fieldsfoto.com)

Open Haltered Show, the Non-Haltered Show and Trophy Steers, over 150 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.

As always, there were many of the curious and interested Stock Show visitors that 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.

If you have not ever experienced Texas Longhorn Weekend, it is a great opportunity to meet with fellow breeders, participate in Association business, and see some great Longhorns show, and maybe even take home a new herd member! This annual event always kicks off the opening weekend of the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo. We hope to see you there in 2026!

TLBAA Special Awards Reception

The atmosphere was festive at the 2025 TLBAA Special Awards Presentation, held Friday night following the day of meetings kicking off Longhorn Weekend. This year saw a larger crowd in attendance than the past several and was full of well known faces along with many new to the breed. The social time prior to the presentation was abuzz with talk of Longhorns, the upcoming Eddie Wood Cowtown Classic Sale and good times remembered. The presentation led off with revealing of the winners of the Rodger Damrow Colorful Calf contest. You can see the first place winner on this month’s cover and find all those who participated on pgs. 34-38.

The TLBAA Special Awards were presented to the winners by those who nominated them, making for a very special moment of recognition by their peers. These awards stand out as they rely totally on the membership for nominations and for voting, making it an honor not only for those who won, but those who were nominated as well.

Following the presentations, there was ample opportunity to spend more time with friends as people enjoyed the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo together or went out to dinner. It is a special venue that makes gathering that much more fun.

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.

since 2003. During that period Bill and Elizabeth have pur chased, marketed, promoted, hosted sales and raised the value of longhorns.

With great foundation cattle Hudson’s started concentrating on building better more complete animals from within. They have been fortunate to have high selling cattle in 2022, 2023, and 2024. The top six scoring females in the 2023 Horn Showcase were Hudson bred. Some of the top bulls of the industry carry the HL brand.

The best part though, is the willingness of Hudson Longhorns to mentor, coach, share and to guide so many others. It’s inspiring.

Truly a testament to their mindset, to make these cattle better throughout the industry and generationally. H

Elmer Parker Lifetime Achievement Award

The Elmer Parker Lifetime Award honors those members, who have been dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the

Jack Phillips Award

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

We are nominating John Stockton of Stockton Ranches for the Lifetime Achievement Award recognition. John put together the largest Texas Longhorn herd in the country working with the Burton family. The evolution of the hard twist throughout the Overlyn line of cattle that has shaped a whole subfamily in the industry. He ran a straight Butler herd of cattle for many years. He helped bring the Legacy Sale back to life with Bill Hudson and Joe Valentine. He was a sponsor of the Red McCombs sale, where he sold Day’s Feisty Fannie for 59k setting a high selling record price at the time. He often topped the Cattle Baron Sale and received the honor of Breeder of the Year with that group. The list of accomplishments is so great we would need a book to list everything, and a single paragraph is the tip of the iceberg. Please help us and honor John Stockton with this prestigious award from the TLBAA..H

Josh & Kit spend a lot of time quietly mentoring younger individuals as they are starting out in the breed. Josh has served as the ITTLA president, and recently the Dinwiddie’s have taken on the huge task of putting on their own futurity event to help promote and encourage participation in the industry.

I can personally attest to their devotion of helping new breeders as I don’t believe I would be where I am with my herd today without Josh and Kit’s support and mentorship. Since I started my herd in 2020 Josh and Kit have done so much to support and mentor me never asking for anything in return. H

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.

Tom & Amy Buxton

Tom & Amy Buxton have exploded into the Longhorn world with wonderful enthusiasm! Buxton Longhorns have been active in sales and private treaty acquiring some of the best Longhorns available in the industry. Through calculated matings they are building their brand and have some elite calves tly being shown at futurities nationally. They are major sponsors of sales and futurities big and small. Tom has recently joined the TLBA Foundation, hoping to help spearhead the long-awaited Texas Longhorn Museum. Passion, enthusiasm, and integrity is what comes to mind in describing Tom & Amy. They have exactly what the industry needs and they are

A New Twist to An Old Favorite

What a great kickoff to the 2025 year for Texas Longhorn Sales. This year 11 generous sponsors stepped up to make this sale one worthy of the venue – the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo. The sale was prefaced with recognizing those who helped save the breed and develop it into a desirable animal that draws buyers in today’s market. Past TLBAA Hall of Fame members were recognized and two new breeders joined their ranks (see pg.24)

Another special moment of recognition came when the TLBAA presented a check for $25,000 to sponsor The Fort Worth Herd. They are great ambassadors for the breed and showcase their Longhorn steers to 9 million visitors and growing with their twice daily cattle drive in the historic

tions from the crowd as well. It was a great example of the breed supporting those who hold the future of Texas Longhorn production.

The sponsors raised the bar on the quality of consignments offered, allowing the large crowds passing by to see great examples of the quality of Longhorns being produced by today’s breeders. The evidence of the effectiveness for the future of the Longhorn breed could be seen in the faces looking in from the outside of the sale arena, the

many people filling the seats and the number of first time bidders raising their hands.

According to Dan Huntington, auctioneer for the sale, there were 36 people who registered for a bidders number for the first time at a Huntington run sale and 9 people were first time buyers.

The social media blitz put out specific not just to the sale but also promoting the event as a whole was targeted at groups likely to attend or at least be interested in the Fort Worth Stock Show as well as cattle

TLBAA Proudly Sponsors the Fort Worth Herd

The Fort Worth Herd has frequently been supported by TLBAA members donating steers, serving on the Friends of the Fort Worth Herd Board and making private donations since it’s beginning.

This year the TLBAA donated $25,000 to the herd, presenting the check prior to the Eddie Wood Cowtown Classic Sale.

According to the Fort Worth Herd’s press release: These funds will support upcoming renovations and provide enhanced care for the Herd’s longhorns, ensuring the program’s ongoing success in celebrating

Fort Worth’s Western heritage. With this partnership, the Herd will also be renaming the Observation Deck in honor of TLBAA.

“The TLBAA’s support means so much to our program and our city,” said Kristin Jaworski, Trail Boss for the Fort Worth Herd. “Their partnership helps us provide top-quality care for our longhorns and share the story of Fort Worth’s cowboy culture with visitors from around the world.”

TLBAA is dedicated to promoting the Texas Longhorn breed — from programs and services to education and scientific research. This collaboration strengthens the connection between the Fort Worth Herd and the breeders who have supported it for years.

Over 9 million visitors a year to the Fort Worth Stockyards will see the Association’s support of the Fort Worth Herd via ample signage.

More Than Just A Sale… A Very Special TLBAA Hall of Fame Presentation

The Eddie Wood Cowtown Classic Sale was the perfect setting to induct this year’s nominees - Col. Eddie Wood and Bob Loomis. It also included a special recognition of those who were previously inducted, adding extra significance to an already historic event.

Commemorative Hall of Fame buckles were presented to past winners (or their family members), introducing the membership to a rich part of the Longhorn breed’s history.

The 2024 Hall of Fame inductees were introduced by Dale Hunt, who gave the reasons these two larger-thanlife men had earned their spots in the TLBAA Hall of Fame. You can read more below about their history and contributions to the Longhorn industry below.

Bob Loomis

Texas Longhorns. He came into the breed over 40 years ago, after raising and training highly successful reining horses, and immediately had a passion for the cattle.

Using the same knowledge that brought him success in breeding winning reining horses, he took the best animals in the Longhorn breed at the time and crossed them to become even better. Through the years, he has set the standard for the breed. Many refer to him as the “King” of the breed. When the breed first saw 70” TTT Bob was right there with them, then into the 80’s. Bob raised the first 90” TTT female, BL Rio Catchit. Bob raised the first 90” TTT bull. Then Bob raised the first 100” TTT bull. While his leading-edge horn genetics resulted in a bull that is still a Guinness World Record holder (Cowboy Tuff Chex), Bob never gave up on quality or correctness to achieve these records. His Longhorns not only win bronzes for horn measurement, but also have the body and reproductive traits to win at futurities as well.

Bob made a huge impact in programs throughout the industry when he passed these superior genetics on to other ranches and breeding programs.

On a personal level, Bob always takes time to help new breeders or give advice to existing breeders to help them with their own programs. He has been known to let breeders borrow bulls that they could never afford to help them with their breeding program.

Bob has been interviewed by the media for his superior skills in breeding cattle and he always makes this a positive campaign for the breed. He has been called

on to speak in round table discussions, seminars, field days and more, all to help new and current breeders become better. Even when called on to speak or be interviewed on his performance horse career, Bob many times uses the opportunity to extol the Longhorn breed as well.

Loomis Ranch has been a participant many industry events, supported the association through Trails advertising, sponsorships and being one of the top 12 breeders in money amount of registrations and transfers from August 2010 until now. There has never been a person more deserving of being put in the TLBAA Hall of Fame than Bob Loomis.

TLBAA Chairman Josh Gentry, Pam & Bob Loomis

Eddie Wood

He auctioned his first Longhorn in 1964 and was Char ter Member 110 when the Texas Longhorn Breeders As sociation formed in 1964. Not only did Eddie “rehome” more than 10,000 Longhorns through his own Long horn Auctions, he sold many more through auction eering other Longhorn Sales a s well.

Beyond selling cattle, Eddie wood spent countless hours helping and mentoring people with their cattle. He shared his advices on what to buy, how to market and sell their cattle and when was the best time to sell their cattle. Think of the number of people who can say Eddie Wood sold them their first Longhorn in a span of 30-40 years! Bob Loomis is one of the breeders who benefitted from Eddie Wood’s willingness to help. According to Bob, “When I was busy competing in the horse business, I would go to a Longhorn Sale, buy a cow, and Eddie would haul it home and drop it off at Bob’s so he could go compete!!” Bob said Eddie did that for years.

• 50+ years in industry

• Elmer Parker Lifetime Achievement Award - 1991 - TLBAA

• Was the auctioneer for almost every Longhorn Sale in the breed for several decades

• Sold over 10,000 Registered Texas Longhorns through his sales, not counting the thousands he sold in other sales.

• Served on the WR cattle board for years

He served on the WR Cattle board and was nominated by the TLBAA for inclusion in the Great Hall of Westerners at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, OK. According to his memorial, in reference to the walls at his Pay Day Ranch, “The history enshrined on the walls reflects Texas Longhorn history entwined with the life work of Eddie Wood. “

2024 Rodger Damrow

Colorful Calf Contest Results

Respectfully titled after longtime Nebraska Texas Longhorn Association President, Rodger Damrow, who was very fond of colorful calves, this year’s contest drew 45 entries. Roger’s wife Bonnie 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.

The top four 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 TLBAA 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.

We appreciate everyone who took the time to participate and hope everyone will enjoy the festive displays of color on the following pages.

Join Us in Abilene June 18-22, 2025

We are excited

for a new location for the 2025 TLBAA World Expo! The Taylor County Expo Center in Abilene, Texas will be the new venue for the event featuring the TLBAA World Show and Texas Longhorn Junior Nationals on June 18 – 22. This will be the 38th year of this great event that honors our show yearend winners. This year’s theme is Circus! The Taylor County Expo Center and the Abilene CVB have been welcoming and are excited to host our prestigious event. Many of you are familiar with the facility from attending the West Texas Fair and affiliate Texas Longhorn shows held there. The show will be held in the climate-controlled comfort of the Taylor Telecom Arena. There is ample tie space for the haltered animals and convenient pens for the non-haltered entries.

New for this year is the ability to pre-purchase your shavings and have them waiting for you by your stalling area. Look for more information when you receive your world qualifying entry forms in the mail.

The Awards Banquet will be held in the Capital Farm Credit Display Building and catered by the famous Joe Allen’s Pit Bar-B-Que. All participating TLBT members will continue to have complimentary tickets to the banquet.

The TLBAA World Expo will continue to showcase the future of our breed with the Junior Nationals youth show for our TLBT members. The youth members will present their females, bulls and steers in their respective classes for both standards and miniature Texas Longhorns. This year we welcome Chad Coburn as our youth judge.

Additional youth 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 – be sure and review the Trails magazines since last year’s World Show! The TLBT 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 sixth 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 Ryan & Devin Culpepper, The Source, Braylin Miller and TB Longhorns/Tom & Tammy Bush. Don’t miss this great opportunity!

[The TLBT Senior Sale has become a “don’t miss it” event of the World Expo! In the past two years, there have been 30 graduating seniors who sold their heifers for a total of over $273,000! The Texas Longhorn Foundation continues their involvement to allow all sale proceeds to be run through their organization and will provide a tax benefit letter. Start now to work with your friends to get money raised for this year’s auction!

Our World Show will feature divisions including Haltered, Non-Haltered, Trophy Steer and Miniature. This year’s judges will include Wade Kirkwood for the Open Haltered Standards & Miniatures. For both the Non-Haltered and Trophy Steers this year, the judge will be Ty Gillespie.

Be sure and participate in the TLBAA Photography Contest – open to all members! This year’s theme is “Trail Blazing” and your interpretation.

Be sure and check the TLBAA website for the event page for current information. There is a listing with links to area hotels that are offering great rates for our participants. Be sure and go through the link or ask for the TLBAA rate when booking so the City of Abilene can track our exposure and impact we have on the city.

[ [This year, there will be a General Membership meeting after the conclusion of the Trophy Steer show and before the Senior Sale begins. Watch for more information on the agenda items for this meeting.

There is something for everyone in the sponsorship packages to help support the show. All packages in the $200 level and higher include banquet tickets! Speaking of sponsorships, there is something for everyone to help support the show. (See page 42 for the complete packages) One of the innovative ways to help yourself and the show, is for members to recruit $200 sponsors in their local area (not intended for TLBAA breeders to use in place of regular sponsorship packages), such as feed stores, livestock equipment, etc. This allows for one free World Expo entry for each $200 Member Recruitment sponsorship.

Any sponsorship committed before March 15, will be eligible for a drawing with the winner eligible to receive a complimentary TLBAA membership for the 2025/2026 year. Contact the office to make sure you are included!

Watch for the first packets of World Show invitations with all the extra information in

the mail soon! If you have any questions on the eligibility of an animal, please contact the TLBAA office. Watch for weekly updates in E-Trails (our weekly Enewsletter) and on www.tlbaa.org. You can sign up for E-Trails by visiting our website and clicking “Sign Up For E-Trails” on the very top bar.

Mary Beth Connor Peoples

April 15, 1939 - January 24, 2025

Mary Beth Peoples, age 85, of Burnet, Texas, passed away on January 24, 2025. A memorial service was held on February 28th, 2025, at First Methodist Church in Burnet, Texas. Mary Beth was born on April 15, 1939, in Hunt County, Texas.

Mary Beth attended Daingerfield High School and upon graduation she went on to attend business college. She made a career with Electronic Data Systems (EDS) in Dallas, Texas and moved to Austin in an expanded role to oversee a division called NHIC where she served as the Manager of Operations. Her career spanned over 30 years and contributed to their success here in Austin.

Mary Beth delighted in raising her two children, Angela and Darren, whom she loved dearly. While she raised them as a single mother, their father Franklin was always there to be a part of their lives. She was so proud of her two grandchildren Shannon and Daniel. She was always thrilled to travel and attend many of their extracurricular events that they participated in. She loved being a great grandmother to Saylor and Suede.

Mary Beth was a member of the Texas Longhorn Breeders Association of America, The South Texas Longhorn Association, as well as the Texas Southwest Cattle Raisers Association. She loved her cattle just as her dad did, which she reflected and spoke of often and fondly. Mary Beth raised and showed numerous World Grand Champions through her Longhorn breeding program and traveled all over to see her cattle being shown at major livestock shows from Austin, Texas all the way to the Cow Palace in San Francisco, CA. She took pride in raising cattle that captured the attention of prominent breeders nationwide, ultimately leading her to sell her livestock across various regions of the U.S. She was an advocate of helping out the youth programs and she donated her cattle and time to them in hopes th.at they would develop the same love and passion as she had for her breeding program. She never missed the opportunity to go drive the pastures and look at her cows.

Mary Beth was a master gardener and loved sharing her plants with family and friends. She always loved springtime in Texas to see all of her favorite blooms come to life, especially the bluebonnets,

As a young child she came to know the Lord at Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Daingerfield, Tx, where she grew up. She attended church in Dallas and was baptized at River of Life Ministries in Marble Falls, Tx. She attended Hope Fellowship Church in Burnet Texas. She loved God, loved going to church and the fellowship it provided to her.

Mary Beth’s legacy is one of unwavering dedication and profound love, leaving an indelible mark on her family, her community, and the cattle and gardens she so passionately nurtured. Her life stands as a testament to the power of commitment and the enduring impact of prioritizing family and friends with a whole heart.

She was preceded in death by her loving parents Henry Merrill Connor and Gertie Mae Cook Connor, brother Harold M Connor, sister-in-law Laverne Connor and first husband Virgil Franklin Hampton the father of her two children.

Mary Beth is survived by her two children Angela Stine and her husband Rusty of Liberty Hill Texas, Darren Hampton and his wife Karen of Austin Texas, two grandchildren Shannon Nokes of Houston, Daniel Hampton of Austin Texas, two great grandchildren Saylor and Suede of Houston, nephew Michael Connor and wife Sheila of College Station Texas, nephew Dewayne Lanier of Denver Colorado, and husband Tom Peoples of Burnet Texas and all of her beloved friends.

Memorials continue on pg. 44

Wanda Lou Shields

September 13, 1940 – February 8, 2025

Wanda Lou Shields, Ed.D, died February 8, 2025, maintaining to the end her deep love for her God, her family, and friends. She was predeceased by her father and mother, Rex and Chrystle Shields. Her extended family, the Bales, Williams, and Stewards were her major encouragers and sources of unconditional love.

Lou loved her long-time friend and soul-sister, Angel Courtney Bales, Angel’s daughter and son Andrea Bales Steward (Bryan) and James Anthony Bales (Jennifer). The absolute lights and stars of her heart whom she loved beyond measure were her Godchildren: Caitlin Paige (Williams) Alvarado, Makenna Brynn Williams, Zachary James Williams, Brandon David Williams, and Violet Naomi Bales. Additional special friends whom she considered family and loved dearly, surviving Lou are: James David Williams, Zachary Alvarado, Elaine Alston, Larry and Fernelle Fjerwold, Michael, Melissa, and Lexi Martin, and Don and Susan Tallman.

Subsequent to the deaths of her beloved parents, it was Lou’s faith and that of the Bales, Williams, and Steward families which supported and lifted her. She would like to have been thought of and remembered as a woman of God, with unquestionable character, courage, strength, and as having a giving heart. She had a quick wit and loved to laugh.

Born September 13, 1940, in Fort Worth, Texas, Lou was raised by her parents in Austin, Texas. She attended Stephen F Austin High School and the University of Texas. In 1962, she received her Bachelor of Science degree from Texas Women’s University. Lou received her Master of Arts degree in 1968, and in 1978 earned her Doctor of Education degree from the University of Houston. In 1994, she received the Distinguished Alumnus Award from the UH College of Education.

As a youngster, Lou was a member of the Austin Aquatic Club, coached by Bill Crenshaw, Marc Yancy, and Wally Pryor. She spent many years being shaped in character, sportsmanship, and the meaning of teamwork by these fine men who invested in the lives of young people. She credits them for some of the most joyful times of her youth as she traveled widely to compete. She was name Texas’ Best Woman Swimmer when she was 15 years old and participated in the Olympic Trials in that same year.

For many years, Lou taught at the high school level in the Houston Independent School District, assisted in writing curriculum, and served as Personnel Coordinator for the then Area 3 group. In 1981, Lou became the Associate Dean of the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences at Houston Baptist University. While there Lou served as Associate Vice President for Strategic Planning, President of the Faculty Assembly, and on many university committees. At HBU, Lou received many honors, including Faculty Woman of the Year, the first Mayfield Staff Award, a tile on the Walk of Honor, and was greatly humbled to receive the honor and rank of Faculty Emeritus upon her retirement in 1997, as Vice President for Student Affairs. She was affectionately known by the students as “Dr. Lou” or “Mama Lou” and took seriously her calling as an educator.

After retirement, while maintaining her home in Houston, Lou bought the Legacy sSs Ranch outside of Brenham. She fully enjoyed being in the country and raising registered Texas Longhorn cattle. Entertaining friends and family at the ranch was one of her greatest pleasures, and Lou spent many memorable days with her father there after the death of her mother. She named each trail at the ranch after one of her family and extended family. She was a long-time member of the Texas Longhorn Breeders of America Association and served as President of the Texas Longhorn Breeders Gulf Coast Association.

Service to others was instrumental to Lou’s life. She served on the boards of the Maplewood West Civic Association, the Houston Learning Academy, Sea-Arama Marineworld in Galveston, and was humbled by mission trips to England, Scotland, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Romania, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary. Lou volunteered at Memorial Hermann Hospital in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for many years and was a member of the Volunteer Board. In November of 2003, she was named Volunteer of the Month and in 2005 was named Volunteer of the Year.

For many years, Lou was an active member of Houston’s First Baptist Church and served as President of the Adult Choir. In 1997, she became a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Houston. She loved the church and all it stood for and served in many capacities to the fullest of her ability. In 2004, she was elected to the office of Elder. She chaired the Committee for Reconciliation and Fellowship and served on the Worship Committee, the Caring Ministry team, the Planned Giving Committee, and the Officer Nominating Committee.

The pallbearers are Zachary Alvarado, Anthony Bales, Dr. Tommy Bambrick, Michael Martin, Bryan Steward, Brandon Williams, James Williams, and Zachary Williams. Honorary Pallbearers are Larry Fjerwold (Edmonton, Alberta Canada), Dr. Gerald Ray, Ragan Courtney, and Don Tallman.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Memorial Hermann Children’s Hospital (direct contributions to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit), 6411 Fannin, Houston, TX, 77030, or to First Presbyterian Church, 5300 Main Street, Houston, TX 77004.

What You Need To Know To Consign A Longhorn To The Horn Showcase Select Sale

The past two years the Horn Showcase Sale average has steadily increased as the selection committee has held down the number accepted and been more selective in choosing sale animals.

There are several things you can do to increase the chances of your Longhorns being selected.

THE MATERIALS

• Submit a good, recent photo. A good photo presents the animal in a side to 3/4 view, Show the entire animal without tall grass or other objects blocking the underline, legs, udder or feet. Do not submit photos with ANY part of the animal omitted from the image. Do not photograph looking down on the animal. Recent is relative to the age of the animalthe younger the animal the more important a current photo is. It is okay to submit the best you have with a note saying you will be replacing the photo by deadline or shortly thereafter. Editing of the photo before submitting it is not required. They are often placed on a new background and all necessary editing will be done by our graphic artist.

A good example of photo for consignment submission.

that under Additional Options.

You also have the options of:

A)Being a sponsor

B)Having an expanded lot for an additional fee that includes up to 4 reference photos

C)Option to buy a full or half page ad. Please note: If you choose a sponsor package with an ad included there is no need to mark it on the form unless you want additional advertising.

Why Consign From The Top Of Your Herd?

•Breeding information is required. If you are unsure of what bull you will expose the animal to prior to the sale deadline then put “to be announced” so we know you did not forget to fill that part out. If it is a heifer not yet exposed to a bull put “Not exposed” in the breeding info, All of this information not only helps promote the animal in the catalog but helps the selection committee as well.

• Turn everything in on time and complete. Payment, registration papers, photo, transfer - EVERYTHING needs to be in the TLBAA office on by the deadline

Having animals from your program showcased in a sale catalog, in online promotions and seen by a crowd at a sale is a lot of marketing exposure for your program. You want to showcase the quality you are producing. Publicly selling an animal that is of low market value due to physical or behavioral issues leads to mistrust of your future offerings.

• Is your membership current? The Horn Showcase Sale is a membership sale and you need a current TLBAA membership to participate. All animals being consigned must have a TLBAA registration number as well.

FILLING OUT THE FORM

• Please put the Consignor name as you wish it to appear in the catalog. If you want your ranch name, use it. If you’d like a spouse to be listed the write both of your names.

• Mark the measurement you want done that is included with your consignment fee, then, if you want an additional measurement be sure to mark

• Put some thought into your comments. Any information that can make the reader see the value the animal has is great information. If you are talking pedigree animals, mention the ones not already shown in the lot pedigree bracket when possible. It is also advantageous to mention pedigree animals of the service sire or calf at side sire. Try to provide information that the reader cannot easily get by looking at other information on the page. For instance, saying “She’s a very feminine red and white cow” is a waste of space when your photo shows her color and her feminine look at a glance. Talk about how easy she is to handle, that she’s an easy keeper, re-breeds quickly, has a calf every year like clockwork, things cow owners want to know but can’t see just by looking.

• Read the waiver and consent before signing so you are aware of your liability as a seller and what health requirements you are responsible for.

Showcase Your A.I. Certified Bull at the 2025 TLBAA Horn Showcase’s BULL ALLEY

TLBAA’s Bull Alley is an awesome marketing tool for your A.I. Certified sire. Participating bulls gets extensive promotion before the event, including being part of a special foldout in the September Trails Magazine. Then, they get to travel to El Reno, OK to the Horn Showcase where they are on display throughout the event and semen sales are offered with semen available on-site.

Perhaps the best part of participation is when each bull get his moment in the spotlight. With all eyes on the ring, your bull is announced and the music plays as he comes in the ring for people to see while his accomplishments, genetics and his notable progeny are read. It is a part of the event people look forward to. If you think you have a bull that you want to showcase at Bull Alley, here are a few important details:

• Your bull MUST be TLBAA A.I. Certified and have 50 straws of semen either at the event in your own tank or available through Champion Genetics.

• If you have a bull that’s ITLA certified, he must go through the process and become TLBAA Certified as TLBAA requirements are different.

• DNA testing and health test requirements take time to complete. If you are considering a bull not yet certified get that process started immediately.

• All living bulls must be present at the event location. If a deceased bull is entered, it must be by the last registered owner of the bull.

• All bull receive one measurement type free. Please indicate on the entry form any and all measurements you wish to have if more than one, submit the payment required.

• Details such as normal semen price, event semen price must be filled out before submitting the entry. Pricing and/or sale price is entirely up to the owner of the bull.

• When you fill out the Honors, Award, offspring, measurement History and additional comments imagine hearing them announced as the bull is in the ring. These comments will also be in the Bull Alley Program. Providing enough material to let people know why they would benefit from purchasing your bull’s genetics.

• Please choose a song clip and provide who sings it and the song title.

The TLBAA Horn Showcase will do it’s part to promote the bulls that will be attending Bull Alley. If you really want to try and maximize semen sales during the event, you should probably also do promotion of your own in some form before the event and make sure people know how to contact you if they would like to discuss the bull further.

While at Horn Showcase you could put a flyer on the pen with your cell phone on it in case they wanted to meet you at the event and learn more about the bull. As the number of quality bulls is continually increasing, efforts to make your bull stand apart from the crowd become more important.

Keep an eye out for soon to be released sponsor packages that can make your marketing efforts even more affordable.

The bull who sells the most straws of semen will be named the winner of Bull Alley and receive the coveted custom guitar sporting the Bull Alley logo.

Deworming Cattle on Pasture

Internal parasites (stomach and intestinal worms) rob cattle of important nutrients, reducing growth rate and weight gains in young animals and hindering optimum production in all classes of cattle. Heavy infections create health problems. Worms are an added stress and can make the host animal more vulnerable to disease. It is important to deworm cattle at the proper times of year and eliminate egg-laying adult worms before they have a chance to contaminate the pasture with a fresh supply of worm eggs--thus keeping reinfection to a low level.

Thomas Craig, DVM, PhD, Professor emeritus, Department of Veterinary Pathobiology at Texas A&M, says the “best” time to deworm may vary, depending on climate. “Also, suckling calves may not be as adversely affected as weaned calves and yearlings,” he explains.

“I think Ostertagia (the brown stomach worm) is the most important parasite in cattle, in most of North America. It’s the only one that’s very important in adult cattle (because it continues to do well in the host even as the animal gets older) and can be devastating to young animals, as well. Most of the other internal parasites that we see in cattle are not an issue in adults,” he says.

“By the time cows are 2 years old, they have developed some resistance to most worms and have low numbers. When a cow is 4 or 5 years old she’s has often developed enough immunity to keep parasites at a reasonable level or else she’s been culled from the herd because she’s not doing well,” he explains.

It takes a while for immunity to develop, and we usually don’t see clinical signs of worm infection because the signs are subtle. “One of the main things the brown stomach worm does to the host is reduce appetite. If cattle don’t eat as much, they don’t do as well. An animal might look normal yet is not eating to its potential—and thus not milking quite as well or growing quite as well,” says Craig. This is why deworming at proper time of year might be helpful.

Dr. Tom Yazwinski (Professor of Animal Science, University of Arkansas) says deworming issues and timing will vary with region and climate, and some of the worms will also be different in different regions. “In southern areas our major worms are Cooperia (an intestinal worm), Ostertagia (brown stomach worm) and the barber pole worm (Haemonchus). Regarding timing, we usually deworm in the spring and fall.”

COWS WITH CALVES

Yazwinski’s recommendation is to deworm cows about calving time. “Use proper dose for the animal’s weight, either just before or just after she calves. This is when a cow is most immunologically compromised,” he says. The hormones and stress of parturition make her more vulnerable and this is when the worms will be the most active in her system.

“This also makes the worms easier to kill because most of our drugs work best when worms are active rather than dormant. We can hit them hard at a time when the animal needs to get rid of them, and she will milk better and breed back quicker. Most studies on deworming show that doing it at calving gives you more milk production-and a healthier, stronger, fastergrowing calf. You get several indirect effects from deworming the mama cow,” he says. Killing the worms when they are most abundant and active in the cow will also halt most of the egg production and re-contamination of pastures.

WEANED CALVES

“Deworming at weaning is very beneficial. This is when the young animal is most susceptible to getting a big challenge with worms from pasture,” says Yazwinski. Weaning is a stress and the immune system is most likely hindered at that time, giving the worms the upper hand for infecting the young animal.

“The calf is also shifting diet from milk to forage, and ingesting a lot more worms at a time when he is most vulnerable. You want to knock out the worms he has picked up. If that animal stays on your place (such as a replacement heifer), we recommend a spring/fall deworming program,” he says.

“We have done a lot of studies on weaning age calves. In those animals, Cydectin (moxidectin) still works well in this age group on the ranch, even though some of the worms like Cooperia are becoming resistant to ivermectin. After that animal gets treated a few times with ivermectin, you start to lose effectiveness of related dewormers, even Cydectin.

BULLS

“Bulls should be treated in the spring and fall, at the same time you might be giving vaccinations. Also, in the spring and fall the worms won’t be dormant and

less accessible to the dewormers. They will be active in the spring and fall, no matter where you are. This will be about March in the south and May in the north, and October in the south and north. If you wait too long (such as April in the south) we are already starting to get arrested populations of worms—their seasonal inhibitions--when weather is getting hotter and drier,” explains Yazwinski.

GENERAL DEWORMING RECOMMENDATIONS

The key is to deworm whenever it’s spring and fall in your own area. “Here in Arkansas, when pastures green up in the spring, we give the animals about 3 weeks on that new grass and then treat them. In the fall, we are usually coming out of a hot, dry summer. When we start to get some fall rain and cooler temperatures, pastures grow back. We give cattle 3 weeks on that ‘green-up’ pasture and then treat them,” Yazwinski says.

This allows the worms that survived the winter and summer seasons to get into the animal, start to mature, and then you hit them just before they

begin laying most of their eggs. This eliminate the surge of egg-laying that would re-contaminate the pastures. “Spring and fall is when we get tremendous spikes in egg production,” he says.

“We advise deworming twice a year for replacement and mature animals. If animals are on pasture, they are getting worms. They may have a lot less worms on range pastures in the West where there may be one animal per 10 to 20 acres or more, but in the Southeast, the worms love it those pastures with lots of cattle,” he says.

Presidents Message

Hello everyone! This edition of the Texas Longhorn Trails is the Longhorn Weekend Wrap-Up at the 2025 Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo! This event was very good for the TLBT board this year. We had tons of exciting new opportunities to expand the knowledge of the TLBT! We began the weekend providing TLBT committee reports at the TLBAA General Membership meeting with TLBT Board members Jaylin Krimmel, Hadley Anderson, and Savannah Duncan. We were eager to update the membership on all aspects of the TLBT. We topped off the day promoting our Eddie Wood Cowtown Classic Sale donation lot. We have worked hard and enjoyed advocating for her in person, with phone calls & our social media! The second day of FWSSR was busy but eagerly awaited, as we had the privilege to present the American flag during the National Anthem, as well as introduce our lot - RR Lady Bird - to the attendees of the sale! We are so grateful for our buyers Marcus Cartwright and Dylan Hall, as well as all of the families who graciously donated add-ons for the TLBT; Karen Allen, Seth Locke, Carla Payne, Alexis Eldridge, Randall Hickman, Jed Adams, Brittany and Josh Gentry, Sherese Glendenning, Ryan Tewksbury, Larkad Hill Phillips, Jeff Robinson, and Chris Hesse. Ladybird is going to a great home and we are happy she found a special place. Many thanks to Josh Gentry for giving our youth board a chance to participate in this great event. At our Texas Longhorn Breeders of Tomorrow Youth meeting, our membership was able to vote and approve previous proposals that we have been planning all year long! It was a great turnout for one of our most important meetings of the season. Our board introduced new ways for the members to engage in our decisions, and be more involved with everything discussed. The TLBT Officers and Directors can’t wait to share what’s next. The rest of the Texas Longhorn weekend was all about advocating and educating the public about our amazing breed, whether it was conversations with fair-goers or even individuals sitting in the stands watching our youth and open shows. I believe we have truly made an impact on all the Texas Longhorn breed has to offer at the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo. How sweet it is that it takes place in Cowtown, where the Texas Longhorns make us proud as they walk the bricks of the Stockyards every single day!

Sincerely your TLBT National President

Senior Spotlight

Mason Senior

What is your favorite part about showing Longhorns?

-My favorite part about showing longhorns is the community that comes as a package deal with it. I could not be more thankful for the lifelong friendships and connections this organization has brought to me. It has truly been a blessing to be a part of this organization.

Who/what has been your biggest influence while showing?

- My biggest influence within the industry has been Mrs. Wilson. She has helped me in so many ways that even words cannot describe. A variety of people have helped me over the years, like Stephen Head teaching me how to halter break, Carla Payne teaching me how to clip calves, and so many others who have helped me become the showman I am today. I could not be more grateful for what I have learned from everyone I have interacted with as I have been a TLBT member.

Do you have a favorite Longhorn in your herd or one that you have shown and why? (Past or Present)

- My favorite animal I have ever shown, even though she wasn’t mine, would probably be Sister Mary Francis. Last year I had the opportunity to show for The Longhorn Project and was placed as the showman for Sister Mary Francis. She was the sweetest heifer, and also my showmanship animal. I won my first showmanship buckle with her, and showing her holds very special memories.

Tell me about your Senior Sale Heifer.

- Annie Oakley CP is a Class 5 heifer, born on February 5, 2024. Her genetics are sure a beauty with her dam being R4 Clear Sky, and her sire being Sanddollar Discovery. She is a long-bodied, attractive female with very flashy coloring. She is also the sweetest heifer I have ever worked with. Make sure to keep up with us on Facebook at Abbey’s Senior Sale Heifer.

What are your future aspirations or plans?

- After high school I have aspirations of majoring in agribusiness with a minor in either communications or accounting. I plan on attending law school later on and becoming a lawyer on the agriculture side of things. Advocating for farmers and ranchers is something I have always been passionate about and want to pursue a career within it, and doing it with a topic I love with my whole heart.

Ryan and I had served the breed for several years outside of the association and, when the TLBT began voting for their advisors in 2023, I was encouraged to apply. I felt my background and desire to help would be a good fit as an advisor. Thankfully the youth felt the same and have allowed me the opportunity to serve them.

- Seeing the growth of individuals. Watching young people come into the breed not being able to look anyone in the eye and hiding behind parents then watching them grow to be able to carry on full conversations, give speeches to an audience, and make things happen is always a highlight for me.

What is your favorite memory as an advisor?

- Seeing previously perceived boundaries start to be torn down. This year, I am getting to watch the TLBT work with breeders outside of their normal circle of influence. It has me dreaming of what the future will hold for these change makers and the breed due to their willingness to look beyond the lines in the sand.

What is your favorite piece of advice?

- Talk to people and, to quote T. Roosevelt, “do what you can, with what you have, where you are”.

What is your goal as an advisor?

- To help as much as I can while encouraging the youth of the breed to expand their community and grow as leaders.

What is your favorite part about showing Longhorns?

- My favorite part about showing longhorns is getting to meet new people from all across the country, meeting with breeders and learning about their programs, and learning new things about raising and taking care of livestock.

Who/what has been your biggest influence while showing?

- My biggest influence while showing is my mom. She helps me get through the tough times and is always very supportive to me and my siblings.. Do you have a favorite Longhorn in your herd or one that you have shown and why? (Past or Present)

-My favorite longhorn in my herd is definitely my trophy steer, Big Guy. He was my first longhorn I owned and he is one of the most impactful animals in my life because of all the important lessons he has taught me over the years.

What is your favorite show?

- My favorite show is World Show because a lot of people go and I get to meet new people and see friends I do not normally get to see. .

What are your future aspirations or plans?

- After I graduate high school, I would like to attend Texas Tech University and go to Vet School to become a large animal vet. After I graduate, I plan to move to Montana, buy a ranch, and start my own beef production and large animal private practice.

GREAT PLAINS TEXAS LONGHORN ASSOCIATION

GORDON HOWIE PRESIDENT GKHOWIE@YAHOO.COM

The Black Hills Stock Show & Rodeo has a long tradition of being a premier event to exhibit and sell cattle for producers from all over the industry. Established in 1959 and located in Rapid City, SD, the Stock Show takes place in late January/early February each year. It is more than an event, it’s a tradition.

The Show features 120 different livestock, horse and rodeo events along with more than 300 vendors. This year, several members of the Great Plains Texas Longhorn Association have partnered to increase that number to 121.

With the huge variety of cattle species represented at the event, longhorns are noticeably absent. Holy Cow Ranch, Lippert Legacy Longhorns, Double T Ranch and Mark & Lisa Sanders are hosting a booth to represent and promote the breed. An estimated 331,000 people attend the western festival, so the audience is beyond significant.

While 2025 is the first year at the show, the goal is to highlight the versatility and beauty of the longhorn breed to attendees. Small producers in the longhorn industry are constantly searching for marketing opportunities for their cattle. This is another great step in the right direction.

The GPTLA membership continues to welcome new member producers (you can join regardless of where you live). We would LOVE to have you join us! $250 lifetime membership dues or $25.00 annual.

Texas Longhorns Represent at Cattlemen’s Congress

The Texas Longhorns were well represented for their fourth year at Cattlemen’s Congress held as the first TLBAA show in 2025 in Oklahoma City. Over 205 entries competed in qualifying classes for the TLBT Youth, Open Haltered, Miniature Haltered and Trophy Steers. There was an entry number increase in ALL divisions! Judges Garrett Thomas and Jerry McPeak, handled the open and TLBT division duties, respectfully. The TLBAA was well represented in the event’s Supreme Drive with the Grand Champion TLBT Female (LR Miss Maggie CP owned by Avery Mathey); Grand Champion Open Female (LR Lilly Ann CP, owned by Locke & Payne Partnership); and Grand Champion Open Bull (14K’s Rock Me Amadeus, owed by Jaylin Krimmel).

The Premier Exhibitor was Jaylin Krimmel; the Premier Breeder was Lovejoy Longhorns; and the Premier Herdsman was TB Longhorns. All three received surfboards decked out in Cattlemen’s Congress purple and logos.

Once again, the TLBAA membership stepped up with their sponsorships to cover the cost of awards and other expenses associated with the event.

Regarding drugs to use, if you are deworming in spring and fall, when worms are active and not dormant, you can use nearly anything. “The worms are more vulnerable at that time,” explains Yazwinski.

Avoid using generic drugs. “In several studies we’ve done, generics do not perform as well as the pioneer product.” If you are buying a cheaper drug to save money, you may be losing money because it isn’t working.

YEARLINGS AND REPLACEMENT HEIFERS

Many of these animals are on green pastures in a humid climate or irrigated pastures in a dry climate, and moisture conditions are perfect for worms. Another common scenario is calves coming off dry summer ranges where they are not exposed to worms, then put on green pastures that are heavily contaminated. A naïve calf has not had a chance to develop immunity, and is vulnerable to acquiring a heavy worm burden when exposed to high levels of worms.

“There is no consensus among parasitologists regarding how often these young cattle should be treated, or how often we should rotate drug classes. My recommendation is that a rancher should stay on top of this issue and know

which drugs work and which ones do not,” says Yazwinski.

“You need a reliable set of scales for weighing the animals, so you can treat with the proper dose, and check weights after deworming, to see if your treatment is working,” he says.

Even though the brown stomach worm (Ostertagia) is the most common across all age groups, yearling cattle are most often infected with high levels of Cooperia (small intestine worm). “In cows this is not an issue because they’ve developed immunity to Cooperia. After about 2 years of age, you don’t need to worry about Cooperia in cattle. In young animals, however, this is the main worm to deal with, and ivermectin doesn’t kill it like it did several years ago,” he says.

“We see still see good results using the white dewormers (benzimidazoles) and moxidectin. With yearlings you might need to treat for Cooperia at times of year the brown stomach worm (Ostertagia) is dormant (a stage the white dewormers won’t get). In many instances you must target specific worm populations,” says Yazwinski.

You have to know which worms you are dealing with, plus what those worms are doing during certain seasons— and this will determine your best choice of drugs.
