EDITOR’S NOTES
VALIDATION
It is always refreshing when a news story pops up that absolutely reinforces what you have repeatedly tried to explain to people who want to register their Longhorns.
It came across my desk too late to run this month, but the Texas & Southwest Cattle Raisers issued a press release saying a man had been convicted of stealing 9 yearling registered Texas Longhorn bulls and one heifer. Long story short “All 10 head of cattle were recovered and later returned to the victim. The bulls were identified by the owner’s brand.“
If we have not published the requirements for branding enough, I apologize, but if you are interested in owning registered Texas Longhorn cattle... please know that at the current time there are no alternate methods of identification acceptable for registration purposes and the above case is why. This may be a strange topic for your editor to bring up, but I hear many of the calls into the office each day and lately our new members have been repeatedly trying to register without branding.
If you are a member talking to new people interested in your cattle, that may be one of the topics you should discuss with them to help them get off on the right foot with Longhorn ownership.
Another video clip lending credence to ALWAYS paying attention shows a man moving cattle through a pen system in a calm manner. As they move through the gate, a black one turns and tucks himself in a corner facing the gate. You don’t even notice it until the man has the gate almost closed and the animal bursts through the gate and charges the man. The man tries to get up the open swinging gate to avoid the animal. It turned out okay in the end, but I had to re-watch it to see how on earth the man did not see the one that turned on him. Well, knowing that it happened, it was still hard to see that dark animal in the shadows beyond the gate. It’s just a good reminder that when working with livestock you need to always be watchful. A cow processes things differently than humans do and their actions can be unexpected and cause injury, even when they are not acting aggressive.
Look to the pages following to find more good reminders and tips on cattle handling, as well as another often taken for granted item - the pasture your cattle graze on. In this world of being busy all the time, it’s easy for time to pass quickly and miss getting things done that in the long run would save us time and money.
Another chance for some great validation? The TLBAA Special Awards need you to vote! The nominees and a ballot are in this issue and an online ballot can be found on our website, www.tlbaa.org, under the Awards tab. These are peer nominated awards that rely on members votes to receive the recognition. Turn to page 12 and learn more about the deserving individuals that are on the ballot and get your votes in.
Blessings!

Dave Evans Breeder of the Year Award
Hudson Longhorns
Corydon, Indiana
Hudson Longhorns have been in the longhorn world since 2003. During that period Bill and Elizabeth have purchased, 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
Mark Hubbell
Hastings, Michigan
This gentleman has been an amazing mentor and man of knowledge to many in the industry. There are breeders that have become successful because of Mark’s tireless work to produce the perfect longhorn.
Mark lives, eats and breathes longhorns. He wants to go look at cattle everywhere he goes. He respects the heritage of the breed, and will always stop and talk to new breeders about their cattle and give advice when asked, Mark Hubbell is the most deserving of this award of any breeder we have met to date. H
Justin Rombeck
Axtell, Kansas
Justin Rombeck has been a driving force within the industry from the time he was a freshmen in high school. What started as a FFA Breeding Program has evolved into a program that is running over 100 head of registered longhorns for him and his family. They have raised futurity champions, received numerous HSC trophies, been Superior Award winners and more, Beyond his personal accomplishments, he has forever shaped the industry through his Longhorn Opportunities consultation business. He started the Legends Sale and Futurities with his wife Amanda, as another avenue that showcases top end producing animals and the genetics those animals have to offer.
In short, he is a teacher that has the passion for making this breed better for all involved. H
Elmer Parker Lifetime Achievement Award
John T. & Betty Baker
Liberty Hill, Texas
With over 50 years of involvement and prominence in the Texas Longhorn breed, it is likely there is no breeder, couple, or ranch that has done more for the Texas Longhorn breed and the TLBAA than John T & Betty Baker of Sunrise Ranch. From being an integral part of forming the TLBT, over a decade plus of TLBAA Board service, including serving as President, to 20 years of Youth camps, judging, and education, the imprint the Bakers have left on the breed is both vast and deep. Mr. Baker has never met a stranger, and is known for his genuine care for everyone he comes in contact. Mrs. Baker is always ready for keen advice, and is known for her knack to help young people develop. Her involvement leading Gold Merit still fondly talked about. All of this would be enough to warrant them winning this award, but to leave
out the impact they have made by being stewards, and advocates for the breed that have come with their breeding and guiding multiple University of Texas Bevo mascots is unparalled. They are big picture thinkers, that put in the work, and love the breed..H
John & Christy Randolph
Smithville, Texas
John and Christy Randolph – members of the TLBAA since 1992 they have become a wellknown name among the Texas Longhorn membership. With a huge list of accomplishments from showing, sponsoring, cre ating events to breeding out standing animals, we all know and love these two. They have dedicated a lifetime to promoting the Texas Longhorn no doubt about it! They have an undying love for the breed. Tremendous efforts in all the youth programs within the Longhorn world. Al ways ready to offer help as well their knowledge. So much knowledge of breeding genetics, color, conformation, structure and more! These two deserve this recognition for the Elmer Parker Lifetime Award! H
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
Kevin & Laury Rooker
Poolville, Texas
For over 20 years Kevin and his family have been heavily involved in the TL.BAA in various roles. From Board member, to affiliate member, to actively being involved with the World Show, he brings a quality of class in everything he does. What some don’t often see is his sup port and appreciation for breeders that are just starting, or have come from great distances, or who aren’t large in herd numbers, he celebrates their successes and makes each of them feel welcome and part of the association. I would venture to say that no one has given more of their time and efforts to the being a TLBAA member and breed er than Kevin Rooker.H
John Stockton
Cleveland, Texas
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.

He helped bring the Legacy Sale back to life with Bill Hudson
Jack Phillips Award
Josh & Kit Dinwiddie
Plain Dirt Farms
Burneyville, Oklahoma
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
Tom & Amy Buxton

Setting a standard for an outstanding, smoothly run Futurity. Matt and Jodie and their wonderful daughters are a huge part of why TLBAA should exist and dream for a big future. Matt and Jodie have also created a phenomenal line of Texas Longhorns and are producing some fantastic future winners. They are very dedicated to the breed standards, as well as ethics. From numerous sale and futurity sponsorships over the short span, helping behind the scenes, and producing an outstanding venue, to breeding top notch registered Texas Longhorns, Matt and Jodie are the perfect example of a true rising star among us. H
Mel Raley and the Brightman family could be said to be cut from the same cloth. H

Managing Pasture Ways to Extend Grazing into Fall and Winter
There are a number of ways to save money on feeding costs and enable cows to more efficiently graze longer into the fall and winter. Dr. Stephen B. Blezinger, a cattle nutritionist in Sulphur Springs, Texas, says there are a variety of plant species that can be utilized for forage late in the season. In the Gulf Coast states that have warm climate and lots of rain, the forages that thrive in these conditions will be different from the plant species used in northern or drier climates.
“Gulf Coast area includes much of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and Florida. In Texas, if we draw a line north and south through the middle of the panhandle (about through Wichita Falls and on south), the differences will be applicable to everything east of that line. When we get into west Texas the climate is so much drier that our plant species change and we are mainly looking at range pastures, except where wheat or other annual pastures have been planted,” he says.
“Most of the perennial grasses used in the Gulf region for hay and pasture will be some strain of Bermuda grass. The dominant one is still Coastal Bermuda grass, but there are several others including common
“Some people plant various types of sudan grass or a sudan-sorghum hybrid. This is a summer annual. Generally folks will get one really good cutting of this for hay and maybe a second cutting if they get it in early enough, if all the conditions are right. It produces a lot of volume, especially some of the new varieties like the brown midrib. Digestibility is higher. Protein values are not very high, however, usually testing about 7 or 8%. But a lot of people put in some of this for hay production. If conditions are right, with enough moisture, the regrowth after haying will provide some pasture,” he says.
“The problem we have with this particular species is that you need to be careful in the initial plant growth because it does have a tendency to accumulate nitrates. I tell people to always test it for nitrates, particularly after it has been stressed by drought or at least late in the season. You can get some extension of pasture into the fall with this, but you just have to be careful with it,” explains Blezinger.
Extending the grazing season comes down to diligent pasture management.
Bermuda. In recent years there has been a move toward using more of another variety called Tifton 85, but it’s still a relatively small percentage of the total,” he says.
“We also see a lot of Bahai grass and some other types of perennials like rescue grass and Johnson grass. Areas that were at one point in row crop production often tend to go to Johnson grass. My dad tried to farm corn on the place where I grew up and he always got a better crop of Johnson grass than he ever did of corn! It’s a very hardy grass and tillers like quack grass,” says Blezinger. It is considered a weed but it does make decent forage for cattle.
Extending the grazing season into fall and winter really comes down to diligent pasture management. “The typical farm/ranch in this part of the world does not utilize very intensive grazing management. They might have a few larger pastures, but in most cases they won’t graze their hay meadows. One thing many operations need to do is crossfence their larger pastures more, and even crossfence their hay meadows and start using them in a rotational system—which can be easily done with portable electric fencing. This would result in better grass production and the pastures could handle the dry periods a little better. This would apply to summer perennials like Coastal, in which you could put up hay and then use the aftermath for grazing,” he says.
“Not very many of the larger operations that I am familiar with have a really well managed forage program that utilizes rotational grazing and a carefully planned weed control and fertilization program. There are a lot of people who simply fertilize in the spring and shop the costs for ammonium nitrate and buy whatever’s cheapest and put on a certain amount per acre. Not very many of them do soil tests to see what they really need and what they might do to carry the production out into the fall as far as they can. In my mind, what most people could do to extend grazing would be to increase their forage production and focus on quality,” says Blezinger.
“This will involve putting together a plan. I worked with a ranch in Louisiana for a number of years and they were good at this. They ran cattle on 4500 acres, and put together a grazing plan that was very comprehensive. They did an extensive soil analysis of all their pastures, and fertilized according to their analyses. Except in situations where they were extremely dry, they generally had much more forage than they needed. This was a combination of hay and pasture,” he says.
“The main winter annuals for grazing in this part of the country include several varieties of ryegrass, wheat and oats. There are some regions where cattle can graze year round, especially if managed properly. This can be done several different ways. In eastern Texas, where we get considerably more rainfall, a normal rainfall may be between 35 and 45 inches of rain annually,” says Blezinger.
“Some people do a better job of managing pastures and come into the fall with stockpiled grass 6 or 8 inches tall. The problem we sometimes run into in late fall and early winter, if we get significant rainfall at that
time, is quite a bit of deterioration of the mature standing grasses, which lowers the pasture quality,” he says.
“Most of the time, when we have a normal year, ranchers are looking at feeding hay, to meet the cattle’s dry matter needs—unless they’ve planted some winter annuals. They might plant ryegrass or oats that would keep growing and might be green through the winter,” says Blezinger.
“On my little place, for instance, I’ve planted ryegrass and clover, but some people put together 3 or 4 different varieties of plants to seed for winter grazing. These tend to germinate at a little different time period and stretch out the growing season and the grazing season from late fall until May without any problems. And by that time the summer perennials are growing adequately for grazing,” he says.
“By the time we hit late December and into January, stockpiled pasture grass (that matured in the fall) has had so much rain that it is deteriorating in quality. It is still there, and the cattle can utilize it as dry matter, but the nutritional value is poor. You’d need to add a protein supplement. It’s still a good idea to stockpile pasture, to have the extra dry matter available, because it can save you money compared to feeding hay from November all the way through winter.” The cattle can harvest grass themselves.
“The challenging thing is that every year is different. Over the past 20 years we haven’t had much consistency in weather. You can’t always plan on how to manage the cow herd through the winter. It takes some flexibility. You might have a plan, but if certain things don’t happen the way you planned, you need plan B or C.”
He says the important thing is having a good forage management plan in place. “It’s better to have some plans (even if you have to change them) rather than just doing things the way you’ve always done them. Some years may provide a better opportunity to do this if we’ve gotten some rain. With adequate moisture, most operations have some room to do some different things that they weren’t able to do in a drought. Some people have been in drought management mode for the past few years, and if they have fall rain they are able to come out of that, but they still need a plan,” he says.
“If pastures are dry in the fall, people have to look at supplement types and costs, because even if they have adequate pasture it’s low in protein. There are many things to consider.”

Better Facilities No Guarantee For Easy Cattle Handling
During the past 25 years there have been many improvements in designs of cattle working facilities and in handling cattle techniques, but some cattle operations still need to “tune up” their handling methods.
Dr. Michelle Calvo-Lorenzo (Chief Animal Welfare Officer, Elanco Animal Health) tells stockmen about the benefits of low-stress cattle handling and why traditional methods sometimes don’t work. There are ethical considerations of course, since rough, abusive handling should not be tolerated in the cattle industry, but it’s more than just an animal-welfare concern. Improper handling increases risk of injury for the animals and the people handling them, and may also damage fences and facilities. Repeated rough handling causes cattle to develop bad habits and dangerous behaviors that may negatively impact someone else later--at the sale barn or slaughter plant, or whoever might buy that animal.
“Wild, aggressive cattle, made that way by improper handling/yelling, require more labor when being gathered or processed, whereas gentle, properly trained cattle can be easily handled with just one or two people,” she says.
dler’s attitude and behavior and the well-being of the animals. As Lorenzo points out, good stockmanship involves your facilities, your attitude, how you train your dogs and horses, how people rope animals, etc. You may not need much facility and you might not use dogs or horses; you simply need to interact with cattle in a low-stress manner. There are many ways to work cattle with very little stress to the animals.
The younger they are when you start handling cattle the right way, training them to be trusting, the better the results—you’ll have cattle that are easy to manage. “If you walk calves through a corral or chute facility when they are young, without abuse or cause for fear, they are easier to handle as adults,” says Calvo-Lorenzo.
Handling cattle regularly also teaches you how to read cattle better and predict what they will do. “Bud Williams said that the way to work cattle fast is to work them effectively – understanding how they are reading you, and being consistent in your interactions with them, rather than trying to hurry them,” she says.
There is a definite correlation between the han-
“Cattle need to be carefully taught and conditioned, especially if they tend to be flighty. The more we keep them calm and relaxed, the more they pay attention to what we ask them to do, and are more likely to respond the way we want them to, rather than reacting in flight or fight survival mode.”
Dylan Biggs, a rancher near Hanna, Alberta, realized the benefits of handling cattle quietly several decades ago. He learned from Bud Williams--who spent many years in Alberta teaching people low-stress methods for moving and sorting cattle.
“The thing that sets the stage for good handling in a corral is how the cattle are brought in. Bud said 90% of the problems in corrals are a reflection of the cattle’s state of mind— which is reflective of what you went through in the pasture to get them in.
Cattle are more forgiving if they can walk into the corral calmly,” Dylan says. You’ve given them the choice to come in.
Bad behavior of cattle is typically blamed on the cattle. “It’s easy to blame the cattle but how would we feel if we were coerced into tight quarters? We would not feel comfortable in there, with the same people who abused us to get us in!” Dylan says.
Calm in the Corral Starts in the Pasture
If we want to improve cattle-handling in the corral, we must figure out how to get cattle into the cor-

ral without getting them upset. We can’t solve all the problems just by having good facilities.
“With today’s technology, people rarely question the human contribution to bad behavior of cattle; we try to remedy it with a technological change,” says Dylan. “I’ve taught livestock handling clinics for more than 25 years, and when discussing how human behavior affects cattle, people are reluctant to address this. There’s a lot less reticence when people ask how to change the
SORTING OFF CALVES
There is one corral feature that does make it much easier to sort calves away from cows. Dylan Biggs uses a calf-stripper gate that calves can go under and be in another pen as the cows go on out of the corral or into a different pen.
After cattle come into a corral, they tend to circle around--to go back out the way they came. “You can take advantage of that natural behavior, for sorting. If cattle can go back the way they came in, we can separate calves from the cows this way. The gate we come in – and go out with the cows – is adjacent to where the calves slip through into a different pen.” Cows that have done this before will come to the gate and go out, while the calves are shunted to the side and under a panel into a different pen.
design of their corral. They become very interested in design and gate placement,” he says. It helps to have a well-designed facility but it won’t eliminate all challenges. Yet it seems easier for people to change their corrals than change their own behavior!
Craig Howard, the cow boss at Bieber Red Angus Ranch (Leola, SD) says it’s important to handle replacement heifers calmly and quietly (setting the stage for their future interactions with people) and if you handle your cows right, their calves learn a lot, taking cues from mama’s calm attitude and actions.
“If your cows respect a person and respond to pressure (but not reacting in fear) the calves pick this up and tend to respond the same way. Some people make their calves wild and fearful because it’s more of a rodeo. They manhandle them when they are babies, which doesn’t teach them anything except to be afraid and want to get away from a person,” says Howard.
“Even if it takes a few more minutes to handle cattle calmly and quietly, it pays off and saves time later. Spending 5 minutes today will save 10 minutes (or more!) tomorrow,” he says.
Give cattle time to figure things out, and don’t keep pressing if they are going the right direction. If they don’t get any reward/relief from taking the pressure off, they never learn how to do the right thing when being moved or sorted. And make sure you are send-

ing the proper signals with your body language. Otherwise it’s like telling someone to go left while forcing him to go right – then getting mad at him when he goes the wrong way.
Handling cattle is like training a young horse. “Any time you are around a horse, a cow or your kids, you are teaching them something — making things worse or making them better,” says Howard. Your attitude (confident and calm, or nervous) is immediately sensed by cattle. “If you think you’ll get kicked or run over, you probably will be kicked or run over. Cattle sense your intentions and attitude, and read your body language, so use it to advantage. When I teach new employees how to work cattle, they are not allowed to use anything but their body. If they can’t move cattle with their body with their hands in their pockets, they’ll teach cattle bad habits when they get hold of a stock stick or a flag,” he explains.
“We all lose our temper sometimes, but when that happens, go find something else to do for a few minutes. The cattle will still be there, and if you are now calm and thinking about how to do things, it will go better. I tell the guys to re-
member that we are supposed to be the smart ones –so figure out how to make it easier for the cattle to understand what you want.”
Make sure it makes sense when you ask a cow to do something. “If you are standing in front of her shaking a flag, don’t expect her to walk by you. Look at it from the cow’s point of view. If what you are doing is not working, it’s not the cows’ fault. Don’t be afraid to go about it a different way.” If you give cattle a chance to do what they need to do, and help make them think it’s their idea (and they can understand where to go), everything goes a lot smoother.
Utilize Association Tools To Make Marketing Affordable and Effective
Finding buyers for Registered Texas Longhorns can be a bit of a challenge, especially in areas unfamiliar with the breed and its desirable characteristics. No matter what your program level or available budget, there are options that can stretch those dollars into greater exposure for your program.
Most readers think of the TLBAA marketing tools simply as magazine advertising. While that is certainly an important tool, it is not the only option. The TLBAA website offers button ads that link to your website or Facebook page as well as a Breeders Directory. There is also an e-blast service that delivers your information straight to the inbox of an interested audience.
The Trails staff’s role in marketing goes beyond simply increasing our own revenue. While that is true in the sense that it allows us to grow the magazine and be more diverse in our editorial content, we also willingly discuss options beyond the scope of our own offerings when helping people decide on a marketing approach. We are glad to offer assistance at any level needed, from sharing ads we create for you with outside sources to offering our design services, and even printing, for you to use as you wish outside the association (quotes available). Simply have a question regarding your marketing? Brainstorming sessions are free.
We will look at all the options in a moment, but first let’s discuss the benefit of advertising with your breed association. Every day the TLBAA office receives calls and e-mails from people wanting to find Longhorns or cattle-related products. To be fair to all, we do not choose members to push potential customers to. However, we do suggest that the interested party look at the online breeder directory and in Trails Magazine online. Keep that in mind when you consider the effective reach of your marketing dollars.
Just a reminder, any design work required is included with all advertising options at no extra charge except in a few rare cases. Once the Trails staff has built an ad or e-blast, you are free to request that artwork be sent to other publications or entities to be used at no additional charge by us. When you think of options, keep that potential cost savings in mind.

Vaccination Guidelines For the Registered Texas Longhorn Program
A proper health program for your registered Texas Longhorn program should be partnership between your local veterinarian and yourself. Understanding the health requirements for entrance into most shows, sales and other events is critical so that necessary health papers can be generated in a timely manner. Since the size and scope of most Texas Longhorn programs vary substantially, there is no “one health and vaccination program that fits all”, but the herd health program that each Texas Longhorn breeder utilizes should be “tailor made” to fit the individual needs of the program. An outstanding working relationship with your local veterinarian is essential for your herd health program to be a success.
Proper immunization is necessary to limit and possibly prevent common diseases of cattle, such as Clostridial (Blackleg, Maglinant edema and Entertoxemia) infections, Leptospirosis, Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR) virous, Parainfluenza-3 (PI3) virus, Bovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD) virus, Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus (BRSV) and pneumonia resulting form pasteurella.
Killed (Inactivated) vaccines (KV) vs.
Modified-Live vaccines (MLV)
The most common vaccines on the market are either killed or modified-live vaccines.
Killed virus (KV) - Most killed vaccines are provided in a liquid form that is ready for immediate use. The viruses in this vaccine have been killed, so when they are injected into an animal the dead virus stimulates an immune response. There is little risk for killed vaccine to cause disease. The vaccine contains an adjuvant which helps the dead viral particles to cause an immune reaction. Killed vaccines can be given to pregnant cows. Killed vaccine requires two doses to provide protection. Modified Live Virus vaccine (MLV) - Modified-live vaccines usually come in box with a dry powder form in a bottle that must be reconstituted prior to use. Another bottle containing the reconstitution agent accompanies the bottle of the dry powder The reconstitution agent must be mixed with the dry powder prior to injection into the animal. These vaccines should be used within a few hours after reconstitution and they are very sensitive to heat and sunlight and should be handled appropriately. The viruses have been modified so that when the vaccine is injected into the animal they replicate as if they were the regular virus except they cannot cause disease. In this manner the immune response is similar to infection by the virus. MLV vaccine generally should not be used in pregnant animals unless you have followed the label of the vaccine you are using. MLV vaccines may provide protection with one dose but generally two doses are recommended.
It is important that all vaccines are handled and stored properly to maintain their potency. ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE CAREFULLY.
A vaccination schedule for various classes of animals on your farm follows. It is very important that you consult with your local veterinarian on terms of specific vaccinations that should be administered to your herd.
VACCINATION SCHEDULE
PRE-WEANING
Vaccinate all calves at approximately 2-4 months of age with two vaccinations
• Vaccinate for Blackleg, Malignant Edema and Enterotoxemia by using a 7-way Clostridium Chauvoei-Septicum-Novyi-Sordellii-Perfringens Types C & D Bacterin-Toxoid.
• Vaccinate for Leptospirosis by using a 5-way Leptospira Canicola-Grippotyphosa-Hardjo-Icterohaemorrhagiae-Pomona Bacterin
Vaccinate all calves to be retained past wean-ing (replacement heifers, bull calves, steers) at approximately 2-4 weeks prior to weaning with the following vaccinations:
• Provide a Clostridial booster by revaccinating using a 7-way Clostridium Chauvoei-SepticumNovyi-Sordellii-Perfringens Types C & D BacterinToxoid
• Protection against respiratory diseases and a booster for Leptospirosis can be provided by vaccinating with an IBR-BVD-PI3-BRSV (KILLED)Lepto5 Vaccine. Make sure that the vaccine is recommended for nursing calves.
• A Pasteurella haemolytica toxoid vaccination is also recommended, especially if your herd has experienced significant respiratory issues.
AT WEANING OF CALVES FROM DAMS
(6-8 months of age)
Vaccinate all calves retained past weaning (replacement heifers, bull calves, steers) with the following vaccinations:
• Provide an additional Clostridial booster by revaccinating using a 7-way Clostridium ChauvoeiSepticum-Novyi-Sordellii-Perfringens Types C & D Bacterin-Toxoid
• Booster protection against respiratory diseases and an additional booster for Leptospirosis can be provided by vaccinating with an IBR-BVD-PI3-BRSV (Modified Live Virus)-Lepto5 Vaccine. Make sure that the vaccine is recommended for non-nursing calves. DO NOT ALLOW CALVES TO RETURN TO THEIR DAMS AFTER VACCINATION WITH A MLV
VACCINE DUE TO THE POTENTIAL FOR ABORTIONS TO OCCUR DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION OF THE BVIRUS FROM CALF TO DAM VIA NURSING.
• A Pasteurella haemolytica toxoid booster vaccination should be provided.
• Calfhood vaccination of replacement heifers with strain 51 Brucella abortus vaccine is recommended. Many sales require heifers to OCV (OFFICIAL CALFHOOD VACCINATED) to be transported across state lines.
AT ONE YEAR OF AGE
Vaccinate all one year old cattle (replacement heifers, bull calves, steers) with the following vaccinations:
• Provide an additional Clostridal booster by revaccinating using a 7-way Clostridium ChauvoeiSepticum-Novyi-Sordellii-Perfringens Types C & D Bacterin-Toxoid
• Booster protection against respiratory diseases and an additional booster for Leptospirosis can be provided by vaccinating with an IBR-BVD-PI3BRSV (Modified Live Virus) Vaccine using Lepto 5 Vaccine as a diluent.
• If females are moved in and out of the herd on a frequent basis and the bulls being used as service sires are non-virgin bulls, it is recommended that the yearling heifers and yearling bull calves be vaccinated for Vibriosis by using a Campylobacter Fetus vaccine. Vibrio and Lepto-5 can be purchased as one vaccine. Vibrio vaccine should be
administered at least 30 days prior to the breeding season because of potential abortion problems.
COWHERD & HERD BULLS
Vaccinate all cows and herd bulls annually with the following vaccinations:
• Vaccinate for Leptospirosis by using a 5-way Leptospira Canicola-Grippotyphosa-Hardjo-Icterohaemorrhagiae-Pomona Bacterin
• If cows are moved in and out of the herd on a frequent basis and the bulls being used as service sires are non-virgin bulls, it is recommended that the cowherd be vaccinated for Vibriosis by using a Campylobacter Fetus vaccine. Vibrio and Lepto-5 can be purchased as one vaccine, but must be administered after calving and at least 30 days before breeding because of potential abortion problems.
SUMMARY
It is important that you and your veterinarian develop a vaccination program tailored to fit the needs of the herd and that it is implemented within current management practices. Vaccine selection and proper vaccine equipment handling are only two components of a well-structured herd health program. If there is an absence of proper biosecurity practices, proper nutrition and proper management, any well planned vaccination program may be ineffective. Always include your local veterinarian in preventative herd health decisions and always read and adhere to product instructions and precautions.
ATTENTION TLBAA MEMBERS:
DNA Proposals Before the TLBAA Board
The following proposal for policy changes are presented for discussion, but are not by-law changes to be voted on by the TLBAA membership. If you have questions, concerns or input regarding the proposals as written below, please reach out to you regional Director. Their contact information can be found on Page 2 of this issue. These proposals will be discussed at the January 2025 General Membership meeting.
A.I. Certification Hardship Proposal
9/14/2024
A.I. Hardships have taken up a considerable amount of time for the TLBAA Board and Office over the past years. The purpose of A.I. certification is to protect the buyers of semen and the integrity of the registry. The policy that all A.I. sires must be certified with parent verification and health test has been in place for years.
Hardships undermine TLBAA A.I. certification’s goal of ensuring our members that the semen they are purchasing for use in their herds is indeed what the papers claim it is. Hardships also are unfair to the members that have taken the time to follow the policy and complete all the required steps.
The proposal is, “There will be no DNA Certification Hardships for any bulls born after January 1, 2026. All bulls born after January 1, 2026, will have to complete all requirements for DNA Parent Verification and health tests before they can be issued an A.I. certification number.”
This Proposal will give the membership time to make sure they can collect DNA samples on parents before calves are born. The TLBAA office will publish the new policy in Trails Magazine. All forms and the TLBAA handbook will be updated with the new policy clearly stated. There is no extra cost or hardship for the TLBAA to implement this change. This proposal is another step to ensure we protect the integrity of the registry for future generations.
Donor Cow DNA Proposal
9/14/2024
I am submitting this proposal to require all donor cows for embryos collected after June 30, 2025 to have DNA on file with the TLBAA before embryo calves can be registered.
The purpose and mission of the TLBAA is to record and ensure an accurate registry in order to protect the integrity of the breed. A.I. sires already have DNA on file for the purpose of protecting the buyers of the semen. Requiring donor cows to have DNA on file will make it easier to ensure embryo calves’ pedigrees are accurate without the purchaser being at the mercy of the owner of the donor cow to provide DNA after calf is born.
The proposal is “All donor cows of embryos collected after June 30, 2025 must have DNA on file with the TLBAA before embryo calves from that cow can be registered. The office will publish the new policy in Trails Magazine. All forms and the TLBAA handbook will be updated with the new policy clearly stated.”
There is no hardship or extra cost for the office. Members collecting embryos have access to the donor cow to get DNA sample at time of collection. The office will post instructions for certifying a Donor Cow on the TLBAA website and in the TLBAA Handbook. They will also have the appropriate form on the website. There will be no hardships allowed for embryos collected after June 30, 2025. DNA must be on file for the donor cow or embryo calves will not be registered. This proposal further protects the integrity of the registry.
Presidents Message
Hey y’all! In the midst of all of the craziness with getting each and every calf ready for our upcoming major shows, I hope that you find peace in spending time with family and friends this fall. Our officer team has had a blast this season so far with all of our different activities from shows, to futurities and showcases! In October, we hosted our first official TLBT meeting of the season! It was a blast and we enjoyed spreading the news and our knowledge of what’s to come.
In this addition of the Texas Longhorn Trails, the information inside advocates for equipment, facilities, and pasture. I have experienced the gradual change in quality for each of these topics while being involved with my family’s ranching and livestock business; Double R Rodeo Ranch. We’ve come a long way since our company started in 1941. Pictured is my step dad standing on a stock trailer that my grandfather had built for my great-great uncle and the Hillsboro parade. These days we haul our show cattle in an aluminum trailer with a living quarters and multiple different amenities. It is very cool to look back at what was the basics of transportation compared to current days.
Sincerely your TLBT National President
Sheridan Van Blarcom
2024 - 2025 TLBT National President
Senior Spotlight

Sarah Danley Senior
What is your favorite part about showing Longhorns?
- My favorite part of showing longhorns is meeting other breeders that care about the breed’s structure and other great qualities and don’t just breed for horn.
Who/what has been your biggest influence while showing?
- My biggest influencers while showing have been Mr. John T. and Mrs. Betty Baker. The Baker’s really helped me become more confident with showing longhorns and they are like my show grandparents. It’s always exciting to see them in the stands watching. Both are always encouraging and supportive. Kyla and Weldon Lovejoy have also been a big part of my show career. I met the Lovejoy’s in Albuquerque at the New Mexico State fair the weekend of my 13th birthday. Our families merged together quickly and have been hauling to as many shows as we can throughout the years. My parents, Todd and Amanda, are also a big part of me showing longhorns. Without them, I wouldn’t have had all the opportunities that I have today. I’m so thankful to have them as my parents.
Do you have a favorite Longhorn in your herd or one that you have shown and why? (Past or Present)
-My favorite longhorn is TJD Honey Bun. Honey Bun is such an amazing heifer and every time I show her, even if she swings her attitude at me, I have a good time.
Tell me about your Senior Sale Heifer.
- My Senior Sale heifer comes from top notch bloodlines and I can’t wait to share her with everyone soon.
What are your future aspirations or plans?
- I plan to attend a four-year university and major in Animal Science.

What is your favorite part about showing Longhorns?
-My favorite part of raising and showing longhorns is following in the footsteps of my great grandpa, JP Morris. He pushed Texas longhorns up the Great Western Trail from Mexico to destinations in the northern US and Canada in the 1880’s. After he retired from being a drover, he settled in Coleman County to grow his family, was instrumental in the city’s growth, and raise cattle on the land that is now our ranch.
Who/what has been your biggest influence while showing?
- My biggest influence while showing has been Catherine and Randy Morris. I call them my “show parents”, as they have taken me in as their own, letting me show their calves, helping me with my showmanship skills, letting me tag along to shows, and always providing me with amazing insight on breeding, raising, and caring for my own herd. They are such kind and selfless people and they have a great love for the breed.
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 my beautiful blue roan steer, Cowboy Houdini. He is 8 years old and he is out of one of my first cows, Bayou Wind. He was my first show steer and he helped me win multiple showmanship honors throughout my junior and intermediate years. He is a now a member of the Fort Worth Herd, walking the streets of the stockyards and meeting thousands of people every day from all over the world. When he is retired, he will come back to Cow Creek Ranch to live out his years in the grassy pastures with the rest of our herd.
My favorite show is the Texas Longhorn Junior Nationals because it is such a great time to celebrate with our friends all of our hard work. I also love the extra events I can do besides showing cattle, like Gold Merit, Photography, Quiz Bowl, and Livestock Judging.
What are your future aspirations or plans?
As of now, I would like to go to Oklahoma State University, but possibly attend a junior college first. I would like to be on the Livestock Judging Team or have the honor of being the Spirit Rider who takes the mascot horse ‘Bullet’ out on a lap after the football team scores a touchdown. After college, I would like to return to the ranch and help breed, raise, and expand our commercial Angus and our Texas Longhorn herd.
