EDITOR’S NOTES TO THEIR HEALTH I hear a lot sitting in the Editor’s chair. When it comes to the health, care and feeding of Texas Longhorns that information runs the gamut from “Just turn them out and let them be” to breeders discussing the routines for regularly working their cattle. What saddens me is when newer breeders take to Facebook or call our office shocked by the fact that they are dealing with common ailments of beef cattle or have nutrition related deficiencies because they thought Longhorns didn’t have those problems. So for those who want to hear the input of experienced veterinarians and Longhorn breeders, simply turn to this month’s feature for some good insight. Spoiler alert! Texas Longhorns are indeed beef cattle and should be treated as such where their health and welfare are concerned. After a winter where warm areas were hit with unusually severe cold with some fatalities from it in the animal kingdom, lots of normally mild areas are set to get hotter than usual summers this year. Even if you live somewhere where you are used to 90+ degrees there are a lot of things you need to consider to help your herd weather the heat. There’s some good information inside about protecting your cattle from heat stress and information about how heat affects breeding. While the TLBAA World Show has passed and will be featured in August Trails, the TLBAA Horn Showcase is right around the corner! You can find rules, consignment form, entry forms, sponsor packages and more inside. If you don’t like tearing out forms from your Trails Magazine, they are also available to download online at www.tlbaa.org. You can find other ways to participate and honor fellow breeders by reading the criteria for the TLBAA Year End Special Awards and the TLBF Hall of Fame. If you’ve been in the industry very long you’re bound to know some folks you’d like to see recognized by their peers! The criteria and forms are just a few page turns away. And, drumroll….. the Roger Damrow Colorful Calf Contest is back! Folks, this is the cheapest way EVER to get some offspring representing your program in the pages of Trails Magazine and potentially on the front cover! $20 per entry. There are full details of the contest on pg 50. One request I have for entrants… if you mail or e-mail an entry and do not hear anything from me acknowledging that I received it, please e-mail me or call to verify that your e-mail or envelope made it to me. Between spam filters and regular mail service there have been a lot of times when things got missed and I want to do my best to prevent that. There are lots of fun things coming between now and the first month of 2022. Time flies, so don’t delay in making plans, getting forms and entries in an showing up to participate in these opportunities. Until next month,

Association News
Chairman’s Message Greetings, Hard to believe that it’s already July and the year is half gone. Some of us are still getting some rain, some, maybe too much. In our area it has been pretty wet and some of us are just now getting a first cutting of hay when we should be on third cutting. I know some of the country has been a little short on moisture in some places up through the Midwest. I hope that changes for them. This month’s issue has a great informational section on animal health, with input from a couple of veterinarians that are also Longhorn breeders. There are sale results in this from the Stockyard Sale and the Bluegrass Sale, both were put on and I thought they did pretty well. People came to both of the sale as well as participating online. The sales were accommodating to people’s preferences, thank you for that. It’s that time of year again that we need to be thinking about Year End Awards and Hall of Fame Nominations. The forms are in this issue as well as the information on each award. These are wards that are nominated and given by the members to those deserving. Don’t forget to get your memberships renewed, it’s that time of the year again. It is also fast approaching the time for Division “A” nominations. Information on the nomination and voting process is also in this issue. The TLBAA World Expo 2021 is in the books and was a great event and a great turnout of cattle and kids. The results will be in the August issue. The Horn Showcase on November 11-13, 2021, and is in Fort Worth, Texas this year. Now is the time to send in entries for the Select Sale, HSC Futurity, Bull and Embryo Alley and measuring classes. You still have time to get your entries in for these events and your support will be greatly appreciated in making the Horn Showcase 2021 a big success. The deadline for consignments for the Select Sale will be August 10, 2021. It is the largest and only measuring event in the country and a great way to showcase your animals, promote your herd sires and sell semen, compete in the futurity and enjoy the fun time. Should be a great weekend for all to enjoy, visit and catch up with old friends and meet some new ones. Sponsorship packages are available and you can contact Pam Robison at the office, or any of the committee members if you would chose to support the event. I have to give a shout out to the best office staff I know, our TLBAA Staff. They have been working to keep up with the goings on in the association, with membership, DNA, sales and events and registrations and transfers, which have been averaging 500 to 800 registrations and averaging 700 to 900 transfers a month, with over 1,000 for April and 1,400 in May. To my Longhorn Family, Thank You,
Keith Du Bose, Chairman of the Board Texas Longhorn Breeders Association of America

Enabling Your Longhorns To
Thrive
“Our Longhorns are a breed with historical resistance and hardiness. Do they still have it? Do we know? Do we care? With availability of better nutrition, genetics, and health programs, instead of depending on their hardiness and letting them SURVIVE, our programs should be planned to help them THRIVE. Anything less would be a disservice to our great Longhorn breed.” — Roger Cole DVM

TEXAS LONGHORN TRAILS
By Myra Basham No one disagrees with the fact that the early Longhorns that were running wild in rough territory were survivors, even when resources were scarce. In today’s world, however, cattle are confined by man and not free to do whatever it takes to survive, nor should they need to. We reached out to two veterinarians who are also Longhorn breeders to find out what we should expect to be required to keep today’s Longhorn healthy and fit. Darlene Aldridge, DVM spent her veterinary career in small animals, but once she bought her first Longhorn cow from YO Ranch in 1995 she was addicted. “I do not profess to be a large animal veterinarian as I have never practiced as one, I have only worked on my own herd, but I have taken extensive continuing education in bovine medicine concentrating on courses in reproductive medicine and embryo transfer. In addition, I have taken continuing education courses in herd health management, nutrition, Johnes disease, Bovine Viral diarrhea, Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis, Clostridial diseases, Brucellosis, and many other common diseases of cattle.” Alex Valle easily applies an eye patch to a properly restrain chute will not only Aldridge continues, “When I first make your life easier, your veterinarian will definitely be more willing to come out started raising Texas Longhorns, I do for your Longhorns as well. Photo by Cathy Valle / GVR Longhorns. not think many breeders were very concerned with vaccinating their cattle. When I would In my 46 Years of veterinary practice and 5 or 6 years inquire about vaccinations on cattle I bought the an- of having Registered Longhorns, I get in on the ground swer was always ‘She had her calfhood vaccination’, level with breeders and owners involved with ALL catmeaning her Brucellosis vaccination. Even now some tle breeds. Foot Rot, Pink Eye, Blackleg, Lepto, Johnes, breeders vaccinate calves but do not vaccinate adult BVD, Leukemia, and others all show up , even in the cattle. But I think this is important because it keeps the Longhorns – except not mine ....that would be bad for antibodies high in the dam so that she has high anti- business....” But seriously, adds Cole, “We as progressive Longbodies in her colostrum for her calf and protection for horn owners have available to us excellent up-to-date herself when new cattle come into her herd.” Roger Cole, DVM is newer to owning registered Tex- health programs for our herds. Your local veterinarians as Longhorns, but has 46 years of veterinary experience are your source for vaccination and parasite control and has spent five or six years attending shows and vis- programs suitable for your area - use them.” Aldridge concurs, “If your herd were completely iting with Longhorn breeders around the country. “Like many , My first introduction to the Longhorn breed was isolated from other cattle in every way, no neighborby watching ‘Rawhide’. This program featured a small ing cattle, no new cattle introduced into the herd you framed athletic critter that could outrun the Indians might get away without vaccinating. But why take that and thunderstorms and still arrive In Dodge City hun- chance. You have invested a lot of time, money and dreds of miles away with at least part of the herd. Their dare I say it, love, in your cattle. So, in my opinion protect them as best you can with proper vaccinations and hardiness developed as a way of survival.” But as for the newer generations of Texas Long- deworming. A good herd health program really pays off horns? Cole puts it very simply, “Our historically hardy in the long run.” “I do believe when the Texas Longhorns were roamLonghorn is still a cow, belonging to the Bovine species. As such, our hardy cow is susceptible to all the ing free and not exposed to a lot of other cattle, they species-specific viruses and bacteria of the Bovine. If developed a hardiness because they had to survive on it’s a Bovine, it’s a cow, if it’s a cow it gets cow diseases. their own,” continues Aldridge. “But I have also heard

FEATURE stories of naïve (unexposed, unvaccinated, and therefore not resistant) herds of Texas Longhorns being exposed to a disease with terrible consequences.” “Also,” adds Cole, “do yourself and your cattle a favor and invest in adequate working facilities. You are more apt to check a foot or look at an eye instead of letting it go for a few days. This is not only a safety and efficiency issue but also scores points with your veterinarian.” So what has contributed to the need for extra care in today’s Longhorns? Mainly the environment they’re now living in. Smaller acreages, neighboring cattle, and owners who may have entered into livestock ownership for the first time not understanding how much space or feed cattle can require. Overstocking is a big issue on today’s smaller properties. “I think small acreages and greater concentrations of livestock present problems that some new breeders are not ready to deal with. It is so easy to get “hooked” on these cattle and absolutely fall in love with them. We all know that,” explains Aldridge. “So many times, when a new breeder should buy three, they buy five or six and then the babies come along and they also have a horse, two donkeys, maybe a llama on the small acreage. They forget that the house, drives, pens, barns, stock tank and wooded area cannot be grazed. So now the place is really too small for the number of animals, there is no grass, hay is at a premium, the cows are losing weight and when the babies are born they are underweight and the cows do not milk well to feed the calves. There are piles of manure everywhere and the cattle are existing on round bales. The cows can reinfest themselves and their calves with parasites and if one of them is carrying a disease the means of spread is very great.” She continues, “To compound this problem new breeders commonly do not have a market for their cattle or have kids that have fallen in love with certain ones and cannot sell them for sentimental reasons. So,
their feed and hay bill is very high and raising the cattle sometimes becomes something that is not as much fun as it should be.” Aldridge suggests, “I think breeders who sell to first time buyers should try to find out as much about their customer’s circumstances and offer advice and sell appropriately. I have advised some new owners to buy steers instead of heifers when I thought they would not have the space to raise animals on the space they have. And they have been very happy with that decision.” For private treaty sales and the sale ring as well, more information is starting to be available to buyers. “Texas Longhorns are a very long-lived breed as opposed to other commercial cattle and tend to move around from herd to herd quite a bit. Just look at the number of sales that are conducted across the country throughout the year in addition to the number of private treaty sales that take place every day. In my mind these cattle should be protected and current on vaccinations,“ suggests Aldridge. She continues, “Recently it has become an accepted practice for animals consigned to sales to be tested for Johnes and often BVD. Often the announcer will announce that the animal in the ring is current on all vaccinations. I think this is an excellent practice.” Another area where people tend to treat Longhorns differently from other beef breeds? Both veterinarians agree - nutrition and body condition. There is a misconception that if it’s not bony and coarse it must not be a Texas Longhorn. “Attending Shows and visiting with Longhorn breeders around the country, I encounter operations with weak or absent nutrition programs,” Cole says. “Sometimes owners take the hardiness issue too seriously and their cattle tend to look like the ‘Rawhide’ critters. It is always said ‘you can’t starve a profit out of a cow herd’. “With increased marketing efforts promoting our

healthy Longhorn beef, nutrition is more important than ever – the Longhorn is a BEEF animal and is expected to produce more product per unit if we are to compete with other popular breeds. Our genotype and phenotype is taking a more modern turn from the early critter on ‘Rawhide’. We can see this at our breed futurities that showcases all the Longhorn qualities of color, horn, and lately more frame and structure. Entries sometimes are over-conditioned showing that the Longhorn will finish out for freezer beef .” Aldridge emphasizes the importance of body scoring, “I think it is a good idea for owners to learn to body score their cattle so they can know if the cattle are underweight. Next, they need to look for the cause of the lack of body condition. Are they getting enough to eat? This can often be a problem with overgrazed pastures. Do they have parasites, another problem that can occur with over-grazing. There are many good articles on the web about body scoring cattle. It is a good idea to become familiar with them.” Resources abound with detailed information on the care and feeding of beef cattle. Simply search the subject you want to learn about and make sure your information is on a trusted sight such as an ag college resource Body condition score website, many of which begin with extension or end in range from 1 (too thin) .edu. Trails Magazine offers back issues online for free to 9 (too heavy). The and many states or regions offer beef cattle specific pubideal is mid-range. lications which can be accessed online. Most information regarding beef cattle, should prepare your to care for your Longhorn. And you can always reach out to fellow breeders that you now have healthy, fit cattle for some tips and tricks. It is important to note that nutritional quality of hay and pasture can vary widely even within the same geographic region. Doing forage and soil testing should be a part of your program for optimum success. Most veterinarians should also be familiar with what nutritional supplementation and vaccinations are most needed in your area. They are there to help, as is your local extension agent. The better nutrition your cattle get, the healthier and more productive they can be.
VET
Doc, I just vaccinated my WITH JULIE PACK, DVM calves according to the label. Now they all have lumps on their neck! Did I do something wrong? There are many different types of vaccines available over the counter for cattle. All vaccines should be given in accordance with Beef quality assurance guidelines (https:// www.bqa.org/) and the label directions. You should always use a new, clean needle for each calf and every time you draw vaccine from the bottle. Using dirty or contaminated needles can lead to injection site abscesses. Occasionally, some cattle can have an allergic reaction to vaccines (although this is rare). Even when given appropriately vaccines will often cause a mild local swelling due to the immune reaction that is initiated by the vaccine. As long as the swelling isn’t affecting the animal’s ability to eat or drink it should go away on it’s own in a couple days. Occasionally a more severe reaction or an abscess may need to be drained by your vet. In calm cattle you can use a cold compress to help with discomfort and you can talk to your vet about NSAID therapy for a few days to help with the swelling. Until next time, may your pastures be green and your calves be healthy! Dr. Pack is a large animal veterinarian specializing in reproduction, and has been a member of the TLBAA since 1996.

Preventing Heat
Shade in an important factor when planning pastures. If there are no trees that will throw shade into a pasture during the hottest part of the day, then consider adding an lean to or shed. Photo by Claudia Davids / Nowell’s Hickory Creek Ranch .
Heat stress and death loss from heat stress costs cattle producers in the U.S. millions of dollars annually. It pays to try to prevent or minimize heat stress in cattle. Don Spiers, Professor Emeritus, University of Missouri has been involved with research on heat stress for many years. He points out that large animals and fat animals have more trouble dissipating heat than smaller, leaner animals. Dark colored animals and those with the more insulation (body fat) have the most problem with heat. High heat combined with high humidity can be a deadly combination. “Here at the university we developed a free app (Thermal Aid™) that anyone can download on their iPhone, and program it for beef or dairy and put in their zip code. It accesses a weather station in or close to your area, and gives you the ambient temperature, humidity and predictions of what those will be. Combined, the temperature and humid22 | July 2021
ity provide the THI (temperature humidity index). This gives an indication of how stressful it will be for your animals,” he explains. “It gives predictions for 3 to 4 days and changes color depending on how hot it is or will be. It goes from green (no stress) to yellow (warning) to red (danger). If you know that tomorrow will be in the red zone, you don’t want to be moving, processing or shipping cattle,” he says. “People can also tap into our university website to get suggestions about working with cattle in ways to avoid heat stress.” The site is called Thermalnet, at http://thermalnet.missouri.edu/index.html WAYS TO MINIMIZE AND DEAL WITH HEAT STRESS If cattle are out grazing, they need adequate shade and water. “Years ago, extension people were telling people to get rid of the trees—to maximize produc-

t Stress in Cattle tive acres—which was a big mistake,” says Spiers. Trees provide windbreaks and shelter in winter and shade in summer. “Some producers use portable shade structures that they move from pasture to pasture. Cattle need a way to get out of direct sunlight. The metabolic rate of a cow, especially a fast-growing animal, is much higher than ours. We may feel comfortable at a certain temperature but these animals will be hot,” he says. The rumen creates heat during fermentation digestion, so cattle must be able to dissipate body heat or it continues to build up. “Humans have a lighter build and sweat a little more than cattle do. Cattle also have more hair, which tends to insulate and hold in the heat,” says Spiers. If ambient temperature drops at night, this gives cattle a chance to dissipate excess body heat, but if it stays hot (especially if it’s humid) they have no chance to cool off. Heat continues to build in their bodies, resulting in heat stress (or even deaths from heat stroke) after a few days. “The heat is cumulative and if they can’t dissipate heat into the cooler night air, body temperature will slowly rise during a multi-day heat wave. Nighttime temperature needs to get below 80 degrees, to allow cattle to cool off. In heat waves where night temperature doesn’t drop below 70 for 3 days, cattle start to suffer. Skin temperature is in the low 80’s so if air temperature isn’t a lot lower than that, there’s no way for them to dissipate body heat at night,” he says. “Nighttime cooling makes a huge difference. If night temperatures stay above 70 degrees, you might need to find ways to cool cattle. If you try to cool them, night is the best time to do it; you have a better chance to get their body temperature lower. It’s like opening your windows at night. If you can drop their body temperature a little at night, they can tolerate more heat during the day.” This is hard to do when cattle are out on pasture, but some producers have been creative. A person might rig up a sprinkler in the pasture, where cattle could go under a misting of water to help cool them. “You hope for clear nights with no clouds, to get some radiant heat loss. The sky is a heat sink, if you have clear nights. But if it’s cloudy the heat sink is blocked and cattle can’t get rid of the heat,’ he says. In an arid climate it usually cools off at night and there are not as many problems with heat stress. “If you are working cattle, try shift your schedule around so you are not doing it middle of the day when it might be convenient for you but detrimental to the cattle. Try to work cattle very early in the morning,” says Spiers.
HEAT AND REPRODUCTION If cattle get too hot, conception rates drop, and cows may suffer from early pregnancy loss. “If a cow’s body temperature gets too high, this may kill the embryo,” says Spiers. The frustrating problem is trying to look at the correlation between heat stress and reproduction because it is so delayed. You don’t always know if the heat compromised the pregnancy, until later. Some people are calving later (late spring, early summer) rather than during the cold weather of February-March) to be more in synch with nature, but this means breeding during the heat of summer, which can also be a problem. Also, if you are using AI you are working those cows during hot weather, which is an additional stress, and conception rates may go down. This may also be a factor with epigenetics. “What the parents are exposed to, such as what the cow is experiencing during pregnancy, can affect the embryo or fetus, or even affect the eggs in the female. The female is born with all the eggs for her lifetime. If she suffers heat stress that reduces blood flow to those eggs (because she is routing more of the blood to the skin to try to dissipate body heat), the eggs that are developing could also be malnourished and not the prime eggs you’d want. Our knowledge of epigenetics is increasing by leaps and bounds, and this raises more questions,” he says. There have been studies in dairy cattle looking at heat stress affecting the fetus in utero, and how it ultimately affect the calf. “We are not really sure what to tell producers when they ask about what’s the best time to breed cattle.” There are plusses and minuses to every calving/ breeding season. Each producer has to figure out what works best for his/her own situation. Some people with valuable bulls have put them in an air-conditioned barn for part of the time so they are not as adversely affected by heat stress and able to breed more cows, and can keep them more fertile.

Longhorn Beef
New, Longhorn Friendly Meat Processor Opens in Central Texas TLBAA members Mike Crawford and Pam Watkins have been hard at work for a little more than a year to be ready to open Local Cuts Meat Company, a USDA federally inspected meat processing facility in Zephyr, Texas in August. As 25 + year Texas Longhorn breeders, they have developed a beautiful herd and successfully sell their cattle through private treaty and public sales. But like most longhorn breeders, they struggled with what to do with the 50 – 75 bull calves born at their Red Peak Ranch every year. It took years to test various options before they settled on raising them for super lean grass-fed beef. Taking advantage of the growing public demand for local and lean beef, their Chisholm Trail Grass-fed Beef business took off and they have been selling everything they can raise and process to retailers and restaurants for more than 10 years. The biggest challenge in building and growing their business has been working with the processors. Small meat processors are few and far between and those that work with longhorns are even fewer in numbers. They offered limited options for cuts and packaging and their customer service often left lots to be desired. The processors had a take it or leave it mentality. It was frustrating and challenging. During the pandemic, the cooperation and processing availability got worse. They had enough of take it or leave it. So, they left it and began the development of their own USDA federal processing facility. The goal is to make things easy for their customers. As ranchers and producers themselves they understand the priorities for product options, packaging, custom
labeling or just the basics. The most important is delivering on a customer first commitment through respectful, professional, and collaborative relationships. The facility will provide support and conveniences that make the delivery of cattle easier. They range from a straight drive through unloading area that requires no backing in or out to ample pens for early drop off. The USDA federally inspected facility will provide safe, high -quality processing of various breeds of

cattle, pork, sheep, goat, and game. The federal USDA label will allow Local Cuts customers to expand to sell their products anywhere in the US. Their customers will be local producers like themselves (Chisholm Trail Grass-fed Beef), ranchers looking for better customer service, restaurants and retailers looking for a reliable source for high-quality, local meats and individuals raising animals to nourish their families and friends. While Local Cuts will process all breeds of cattle, they will be well versed in the special requirements and challenges of longhorn beef cattle producers. Mike and Pam remain most focused on being Registered Texas Longhorn breeders. Never imagining their longhorn journey would lead them to start Local Cuts Meat Company, they do hope it will be a welcome option for longhorn beef producers in the region.

Marketing
By Myra Basham
Opportunity Abounds Pool Resources and Divide Costs
I know when I open anything marketing-related, some roll their eyes and say it is just fishing for advertisers. Well, I do have to do that as part of my role with Trails Magazine, but I am here to give you some tips that will work anywhere you would like to apply them. The concept is Cooperative (Co-op) Advertising. While some people prefer to be the Lone Ranger, there are times when you need a posse. Everyone wants to promote their breeding program, or beef, to draw in new customers. Whether you chosen medium is Trails, sale catalogs, or publications outside of the Longhorn industry, sharing ad space will save money while getting more effective exposure than you would be comfortable buying on your own. The concept is scalable to any publication and ad price. It works like this: SINGLE AD PAGE, MULTIPLE CONTACTS 1. Find a publication you’d like to have an ad in. 2. Find one to as many breeders as you feel like sharing the cost with and figure out everyone’s cost to see if the investment is acceptable. 3. Create an ad targeting the audience you expect the publication to reach. If you are wanting to draw
28 | July 2021
new people to the breed, focus on eye-catching images and concise wording that will peak there interest. Be sure to include everyone’s contact info somewhere on the ad. AD PAGE(S), MULTIPLE AD SPACES 1. Find a publication you’d like to have an ad in. 2. Decide how many smaller ad spaces on a common background you’d like. (probably 4-6 on a single page) 3. Designate a person to pay for the space and that person can collect money from the other participants. 4. Be sure to see if your publication of interest will allow the page and whether or not they would put it all together or require it to come as one piece. 5. For this type of ad you would use a common header and background and then each ranch would have their own ad space on the page. This works well with people in the same geographic area, affiliates, or common genetics. AD PAGE FOR A YEAR, ROTATE ADS The only difference with this option is that you
TEXAS LONGHORN TRAILS
TEXAS LONGHORN TRAILS
July 2021 | 29
Marketing would purchase a block of ads to get the frequency discount and then decide who gets it when and divide up the ad payments accordingly. So you could run once or twice a year and get the 12 month discount. DO THE MATH Let’s say you are flabbergasted by a national publication with a full page ad rate of $2,000. But you know within your state you have at least 4 or 5 people who would like to be in that publication as well. With a few phone calls you manage to round up 6. Now, for $334 (approx) you can each have a full page in a magazine reaching a whole lot bigger and new audience.
If that is still too rich for your budget you can apply the same principle to a half page or less, just don’t add too many contacts in very small ads or they’ll get lost. Another thing to factor when considering cost versus reach is how many people receive a publication and what percentage of that readership may be inclined to consider owning a Texas Longhorn or purchasing your Longhorn beef. Most publications have data on how many copies they mail out and the demographics of their readership. Those with a media kit may give you break downs on age ranges, income and even whether or not they are landowners. DON’T ASSUME When considering placing ads in your area, don’t think that because no one has just stopped by that there are not potential customers within a 25 - 100 mile radius of you. In this day of busy folks and a reluctance to just drop in on anybody, you could have people driving by that just haven’t been given enough information or enticement to drop by and see what Longhorns are all about. If you have a local paper or magazine, by all means get in it. The rates should be fairly reasonable and you may find there is actually people interested in coming and taking a look. The same is true for national publications. There are a lot of people who will travel to investigate things they take an interest in, and shipping cattle is becoming more common for single purchases as some first time buyers do not have a trailer of any kind yet. Heck, the person who sees your ad could have already had travel plans in your direction or have family or friends in the area. It is a very small world after all. THINK ABOUT IT Take your time exploring options and consider what type of audience you want to pursue. Consider the flavor of the publication and tailor the style of your ad and your wording to stand out in looks but fit the tone and quality of the vessel it will be in. Get creative with your thinking and get some fellow breeders on board and accomplish the goals you’re not ready to tackle alone.

TEXAS LONGHORN TRAILS
Shows
Texas Longhorns To Participate in Cattlemen’s Congress The TLBAA is proud to announce a new World Qualifying Show in Oklahoma in January 2022. The Cattlemen’s Congress is an event created by cattlemen and women specifically for promoting seedstock breeders. It’s inaugural event was in January 2021 and drew close to 10,000 head of cattle, more than 2,700 exhibitors and thousand of producers to Oklahoma City, OK. After the success of their kickoff in 2021, we are excited to announce that 2022 will see the addition of Registered Texas Longhorns to the event. They will be competing in TLBAA World Qualifying Junior and Open Shows. Cattlemen’s Congress Executive Vice President Bray Haven stated, “Our goal at Cattlemen’s Congress is to give breeders across the country the opportunity to showcase and market genetics. We are excited to welcome the Texas Longhorn breed and the opportunities for breeders and cattlemen to interact with other breeds and the commercial producers in this region of the country. We hope that a partnership with the Texas Longhorns and Cattlemen’s Congress will be perpetual
and mutually beneficial to the future success of the breed and the Cattlemen’s Congress show. Welcome to Cattlemen’s Congress in Oklahoma City, the gathering of an industry.” Part of what Haven and Cattlemen’s Congress are striving for is to be “the most exhibitor friendly show in the nation, creating a relaxed environment that allows seedstock breeders to showcase their genetics, market those genetics at world class facilities, and therefore work together with fellow cattlemen and women to advance the cattle industry for generations to come.” While the focus is on the shows and sales, Haven says there are plans to expand the trade show and is excited about the support shown not only by Oklahoma and Oklahoma City, but by exhibitors and breed associations who participated in the inaugural event. The TLBAA Show Chairs are Ryan Culpepper, Walker Hance and Matt McGuire. More information about Cattlemen’s Congress can be found on their website: www.cattlemenscongress.com. Watch E-Trails and Trails for more information on the shows and how to enter.

The 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. This award is named after native Texan, Dave Evans, who entered the Texas Longhorn industry in 1977, establishing the Yellow Pine Ranch at Cuchara, CO. He and his wife, Billicarole, quickly became enthusiastic about the breed and additional ranches were purchased to supplement the original ranch. Evans served on the Board of Directors of both the TLBAA and the Mountain & Plains Texas Longhorn Association. He also served terms as TLBAA Vice-President. He was a founding partner and host of the Colorado National Texas Longhorn Sale, a record-breaking event when it started in 1981, which continued to be one of the industry’s major events for many years. From the start, Evans realized the necessity of using the best bulls available in the breed in order to develop a top herd. His goal was to breed for consistent size as well as correctness and outstanding horns. He purchased Texas Ranger Jr. in 1980, and then Dixie Rebel and Major Investment. In 1986, Evans acquired CT Spoty Ruler, the bull he considered to be the best he’d ever owned. Before his untimely death, Evans had succeeded in breeding a herd of Texas Longhorns that were well recognized in the breed. It is therefore a significant honor to be a recipient of this award, named in honor of this dedicated Longhorn breeder.

Elmer Parker Lifetime Award
Lifetime Devotion to the Texas Longhorn Breed and Its Breeders
The Elmer Parker Lifetime Award honors those members, who have been dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the Longhorn breed, qualities that Parker was known for. This award is named after Elmer Parker, who was a longtime employee and manager of the Wichita Mountain Wildlife Refuge Longhorn herd. Parker joined the staff at the Refuge in 1946, learning from the previous Longhorn managers: Earl Drummond, Heck Schrader and Joe Bill Lee. In 1968, he took over the responsibilities of the Longhorns at the Refuge and continued until his retirement in 1981. Thus, the continuity of Longhorn expertise at the Refuge continued for more than half a century. The Parker Brown color designation on Longhorn registrations was named after Elmer Parker – the dark brown, almost black color, with lighter dorsal stripe, was one of his favorite colors.

In Memoriam
Robert F. (Bob) Coffee November 12, 1933 - June 3, 2021
Gail and Bob Coffee with plaque awarded in recognition of many years of support of the Longhorn Expo in 2017. You can read more about his career in the March 2020 edition of Trails Magazine, pg. 16-18.
Bob Coffee died June 3, 2021 at his home in Austin, Texas, surrounded by family. He was 87 years old. Bob was a unique and dynamic individual who accomplished so much in his lifetime. He was an architect, a race horse owner, a highly regarded Longhorn breeder, a cartoonist, and an awardwinning sculptor. Bob’s first Longhorn was a bull named Chemo that he borrowed from his wife’s brother, Wilford Fultz. Soon he sold off his Angus cattle and started breeding Longhorns with the usual passion he showed for all his endeavors. He joined TLBAA in 1984 as a Lifetime Member and served on the TLBAA Board as well as STLA president. He frequently and successfully showed his loose cattle. In 1999 he entered 7 World Show classes and won them all. That same year he was awarded the Dale Evans Breeder of the Year award. Long-time Longhorn people will remember Bob’s infamous old rusty trailer he used to haul cattle. Bob and his wife, Gail, had many fondly remembered friends in the cattle industry. His remains will be scattered on his beloved Travis Peak Ranch.
Memorials are published free of charge based on information shared by the family or a close family friend. Additional information regarding involvement in the Longhorn breed may be provided along with the published obituary, or a customer memorial specifically for the Longhorn industry may be provided. It may be edited to fit available space. Please submit memorials, or any questions, to myra@tlbaa.org.

They were the Jim Curry show in Lubbock, the San Angelo Stock Show, and the Great Southwestern Trail Days in Coleman. All shows were well attended and a lot of fun. They gave us the much needed break from the Corona Pandemic. After serving as President and Secretary for the WTLA for 13 years, Dennis and I stepped down and gave the Association some new blood. The new President is Amanda Danley and the Secretary is Ashley Wood. Congratulations to both of these ladies. We hope they have a much fun as we did.

NEWS On the Trail... Texas Longhorn Triplets Start Their Own “Longhorn Sorority” Submitted by W.B. Stewart
Please let us introduce you to the cutest trio who “founded” the Long horn sorority “Alpha Mu Omega”! In fact these triplet Texas Longhorns quickly found fame on social media when their first pictures debuted on Facebook. Since then, that one post has been seen by more than 2.1 million people across the globe, shared by thousands, and led to thousands who continue to follow the farm’s page for baby Longhorn updates! These apparent identical triplets were born May 4, 2021 at Barbwire Farms, in Central Alabama just south of Birmingham. Barbwire Farms is a small family farm owned by William (W.B.) and Kelley Stewart, as well as their two sons Oakley (10), and Remington (8). The dam of the triplets is SHR Cocoa Fudge (CI306483) and the sire HIL5 Yosemite Sam (BAI96249). They are a product of natural service, and unassisted birth(s). The family has always had a soft spot for Cocoa Fudge and her babies, as she was the first Longhorn they ever purchased, and drove from Alabama to Texas to pick her up from Doug and Sandy Stotts. The gentle bull, Yosemite Sam, is a partnership bull on loan from the Jimmy Jones/Hilbert partnership. This is Cocoa Fudge’s fifth calving, and previous to this one, has produced single births of three heifers and one bull. Miraculously, this time she decided to double her heifer count all at once! “We had been watching Cocoa Fudge for several days leading up to the birth date as we could tell she was bagged up and ready to calve any day, so we maintained a daily check on her,” said W.B. Stewart. “May 4 I had to pick the boys up from school early because of suspected storms and that was the the day she gave birth. I was able to go out into the rain and feed the cows before the weather got too bad, and noticed Cocoa Fudge had one teat that was smaller and knew she had nursed a newborn.” However, he was unable to locate the calf of Cocoa Fudge that afternoon, as his farm experienced a severe thunderstorm that dumped nearly 7 inches of rain that afternoon and caused flash flooding. 54 | July 2021
“As much as I wanted to locate that calf that afternoon, it wasn’t possible, so I figured I would simply see it the next day. And that is exactly what happened,” Stewart said. “The following afternoon Cocoa Fudge had a cute little heifer by her side at feeding time.” The regular appreciation of a newborn Longhorn was shared via pics to their farm page, and they figured that was that... but the next day is when they realized the real surprise! “When I rounded the edge of the barn to feed up on Friday afternoon (the following day), I was in total shock!
TEXAS LONGHORN TRAILS
Cocoa Fudge was standing there with three carbon-copy baby heifers instead of just the one,” Stewart said. “I thought it was rare for triplet calves to be born, but now I realize just how rare and unusual it is ... especially for Longhorns.” The Stewart family decided to mark the birth of these rare triplets, and hence named them Cocoa Alpha (beginning letter in the Greek alphabet), Cocoa Mu (middle letter in the Greek alphabet), and Cocoa Omega (the ending letter in the Greek alphabet). Together, these three are Alpha, Mu, and Omega. Only a slight difference in the amount of white on their front shoulderblades allows the Stewart family to determine who is who... Since the birth(s) of the triplets, the family has found a comfortable balance (alongside momma Cocoa Fudge) where she and all three babies are kept up at night in the catch pen, and then momma and one baby is let out each morning. This gives W.B. and Kelley the opportunity to bottle feed Land-O-Lakes Herd Maker milk replacement to the other two girls while momma is gone. By late afternoon, Cocoa Fudge returns with her third baby and waits to be let back in to tend to the rest of her little “herd”. In the Stewart family’s own words, the balance and willingness of all four (momma and three babies) to work together is “remarkable”. Four weeks after the triplets’ births, the Stewart family (along with momma Cocoa Fudge and daddy Yosemite Sam) are happy to report that all three girls are progress-
ing well, and gaining weight. In that same timeframe, however, W.B. and Kelley have noticed some differences in the girls’ development. Alpha is definitely the strongest and out-eats everybody when they bottle feed. Mu usually eats well, but sometimes struggles with the bottle from time to time. Omega is definitely the one they have to spend the most time with. She struggles with the bottle, and therefore they send her out with momma during the day more often to hopefully counteract her difficulty with bottle feeding. A balance of watching Cocoa Fudge’s milk availability, the rotation of the calves, and bottle feeding appear to be working well. All three calves play and act just like normal calves, and are already trying to “graze” alongside momma on both grass and hay. They also try and nibble on any feed momma is eating. The Stewarts do make Calf Manna available to the calves daily, and the plan is to start them on Purina RangeLand Calf Creep feed in the creep feeder this week. As to the future, the Stewart family would like to keep them all together. “Momma Cocoa Fudge and all three heifers literally defied all odds, so we think they deserve to be together. Whether that means they stay here on Barbwire Farms, or move elsewhere, I think that their once-in-a-lifetime bond means they should be a package for sure!” said Stewart.
