EDITOR’S NOTES

VOTING YOU SHOULD LOOK FORWARD TO

Forget politics this November and turn the pages to read about fellow breeders nominated for TLBAA Special Awards. Just the fact that some one took the time to write a nomination is an honor for the nominee. This year the number of people being nominated rose, and even more impres sive is how many Mel Raley Rising Star nominees there are. Be sure to read the nominations and get your vote in. If you want your vote to count, you must use the official ballot and include your member number on it.

If you don’t nominate or vote, then don’t complain if you feel like someone is being overlooked. This is an awesome chance to participate in something that celebrates the positivity in the Longhorn industry. If you don’t want to use a stamp or walk to the mailbox, then got to www. tlbaa.org for a printable copy of the ballot. Remember, only one vote per member number.

Another chance to get your vote in…the current Division B Director and separate At-Large nomination ballots are out. If you want an individ ual to be on the voting ballot, they need five nominations. Don’t assume five other people will nominate the person you’d like see as a director. And then, when the voting ballots are sent back to you…VOTE!

Voting is not the only way for your voice to be heard. Your directors are there to carry your concerns and suggestions to the Board. There are ways to get your suggestions before the Board and/or the general mem bership for a vote. The first step is to speak up.

If you have topics you would like to see covered in Trails Magazine, simply send an email to myra@tlbaa.org and let me know. I am always open to story ideas.

And last, but definitely not least, a shout out to my new graphic de signer Taylor Rankin. Taylor made her debut at Horn Showcase as pho tographer and is now in-person at the office helping me get caught up. So if you get e-mails from taylor@tlbaa.org, you’ll know it’s something you want to open. You’ll get to know more about Taylor in the December issue.

Longhorn Weekend is right around the corner and we sure hope to see you in Fort Worth, TX. With meetings, awards, a sale and Longhorn shows - there’s a lot to see and do. Not to mention that it’s also a part of the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo! It’s a great way to kick off the New Year with Longhorn friends and family. Come join us!

Wishing you all the best during this season of Thanksgiving!

New Beef Committee Members and Goals for 2022-2023

The Registered Texas Longhorn Beef Program is managed by the TLBAA Beef Committee. The current members of the committee are:

Charlotte Cote, Massachusetts - Chairperson

Vickie Downing Boyd, Oklahoma

Jeremy Kronz, Pennsylvania

Phil Norwood, Texas

Andrew Shagoury, North Carolina

Gordon Musgrove, Canada

Charlene Semkin, Texas

In discussing the coming year, several points were addressed. These include:

• Monthly committee meetings via Zoom

• Revamping the website to list beef producers in a way that is easier for consumers to find those that produce Longhorn beef .

• Changing the way beef leads are handled to make sure all producers get equal exposure to poten tial customers. For the past couple of years leads were generated and posted and program mem bers had access to contact them if they wished. It left a lot of room for a potential customer to be ei ther contacted multiple times or not at all. We are proposing that any leads being generated be sent a list of all beef producer program members and

their contact information so the leads can con tact those in their area. Ads would also drive peo ple to the website page listing all producers. This would be a greater benefit for program members.

• An additional benefit to the beef producers would be the option to attend 4 webinars hosted via Zoom throughout the year. The following topics would be discussed.

1. How to improve consistency in your Long horn beef animal through Feed, Guest speak er from Purina Feeds- Discussing minerals, Tubs, feed schedules etc.

2. Processing a Longhorn - Guest Speaker, A Longhorn Butcher- What cuts, why, when to process, etc.

3. Marketing your beef program , farmers market set ups, online, wholesale etc.

4. Cooking Longhorn beef- Guest Speaker, A chef discussing beef, longhorn beef and ways to cook it.

For a list of benefits and cost to become a Regis tered Texas Longhorn Beef Producer Program mem ber, see ad on page 51.

Dave Evans Breeder of the Year Award

John & Debra Helm

When you see Helm as the prefix in an animals name you know that it is a stamp of quality. The operation is not a huge one, but the number of huge horned, total package, large animals show the hours of research it takes to produce greatness. The focus on qual ity is always key in their eyes. Nutrition is an important factor that allows these ani mals to reach their fullest potential. Wonderful pro gram that reflects on breed-to-type characteristics that we should all strive for. When you review Gallery of Horns it is hard not to notice the impact this breeding program has done on our industry. H

Elmer Parker Lifetime Achievement Award

Cindy Dennis

Cindy Dennis has dedicated so much of her life and family to the Texas Longhorn breed that she is the ultimate example of the description of the Life time Achievement Award. She raised three daughters through the TLBT, had a hand in creat ing a viable Texas Longhorn crossbred in the 90’s, has been on affiliate boards, chaired shows, and always has time

to share advice and wisdom. It can be argued that no body has bred competitive show cattle for as long as, or as consistently as, Mrs. Dennis. She has put top of the line show calves, and show producers, in herds across the breed for over 30 years. Her dedication to helping others, helping promote the breed, and to continuous betterment is unquestioned. H

Bill Hudson / Hudson Long horns

PROMOTION is this man’s middle name!! From the opening remarks at one of his national sales events to the many new events he has spearheaded, Bill Hudson breathes optimism and devotion to the breed. Who else has started events in several regions of the US? Namely KY, NE, TX? Who else has consigned highest quality to every event? He only markets the high end animals, privately and openly. He has consistently purchased high end animals at many auctions and always helps out with the “benefit” animals and projects.

It seems unimaginable that Bill Hudson’s name is not listed on past recipients to Parker, Phillips, Evans or Raley awards. I think he could have been on ALL these in the past. It is time to remedy this. H

Tom Smith / Widespread Ranch

Tom’s brand (Widespread) was a goal starting out and he has achieved that time and time again with numerous enormous horned animals. With his injury in a motorcy cle accident many years ago things are not as easy for him as for you and me. He works to keep the cattle fed, in the HSC and futurities whenever possible. These ani mals are his passion and his life. H

Rex & Sherese Glendenning / Glendenning Farms

Two individuals that always have a smile on their faces. They have been active partici pants in the Longhorn breed since 1983. There are times when their herd has grown to over 600 breeding females. The

GF brand has influenced generations of amazing stock going back to GF G-Man, GF Heavy Hitter, and Drag Iron. They are the leading sponsor in the Red McCombs Heifer Futurity. Their impact will never be forgotten. H

Keith and Tina DuBose

This award is described as the award for “Lifetime devo tion to the Texas Longhorn Breed and Its Breeders.” You can look a the TLBAA mem ber number and see that the DuBose family has been in volved with breed and TLBAA for a long time. They are un deniably devoted to the pres ervation of the breed and their dedication to the indus try is evident through their tireless service to the TL BAA, its affiliates and members. I can’t think of a more deserving recipient for this award. H

Jack Phillips Award

Deb Lesyk

Deb Lesyk has been a very devoted advocate of the TL BAA Affiliates. She wears, as has worn, many hats. She is currently serving as a TLBAA Region ½ Director in Division A and a member of the TLBAA Affiliate Relation Committee. She is the past president of the Canadian Texas Longhorn As sociation and formerly served on the TLBAA show committee. She was responsible for the much loved TL BAA Affiliate Prince & Princess Contest that was held for several years and now the current Colorful Calf Con test. She has a passion for helping the affiliates and their members, especially the smaller ones. She has a love for the Association and her fellow breeders. She has built international relationships and friendships across the globe. She doesn’t volunteer her time for personal glo ry or fame, but for the betterment of the breed, TLBAA and its Affiliates. This is why Deb Lesyk is worthy of this award. H

Lana Pearson

Lana Pearson has been active in the Texas Longhorn commu nity since 1996 when she was mentored by the late Alan Clem mensen. That is when she be gan her journey as a Longhorn breeder. She has been hooked ever since. Since Alan’s passing in 2007, Lana has been a con stant in the Colorado and be

yond Longhorn family. For many years she has been serving as the superintendent for the Longhorn Shows at the Colorado State Fair and the National Western Stock Show. She has for many years served as treasurer for the local Colorado affiliate, Mountain Plains Texas Long horn Association. She always makes time to take her cattle to local as well as out of state shows and recently ventured into the futurity ring with a few cattle. Due to her innate sense of what a great cow is, she often wins at many shows, both in classes, as well as Grand and Re serve Champions. She has spent many years breeding really correct and beautiful cattle that she shares with other breeders to improve genetics in their herds.

Lana can be seen frequently doing any and all jobs at shows, even ones that she is not the “boss” at. She is always the first to jump in and help when help is needed at any Longhorn event she attends.

When asked she often offers advice and her exper tise, which she is very humble about, to anyone who seeks it. She frequently offers to give tours at her ranch to anyone who ask and loves to educate the “Longhorns uneducated” about these amazing animals.

Lana never offers her help or expertise without the expectation of any recognition. She does all that she does for the love of the breed and the people who raise these majestic animals. H

Chris Clark

Chris is very much behind the scenes kind of guy that reaches out and gets large play ers to come into the industry. A strong student of studying ge netics and always striving to improve not only his program but think of ways to help others and the breed at the same time. In numerous conversations, he has stated that he talked to some big so and so and told them why they needed to get into the Longhorn breed. Chris is a strong ambassador and I personally appre ciate his efforts in what he has done in marketing the breed for us all. H

Heather Fischer

While Jack Phillips may be described as “quiet”, I think this nominee would agree that the same cannot be said about her. Anyone who has met Heather Fischer (and you have probably met her at a show, Futurity, sale or on social media) will learn quickly that she is effervescent; full of enthusiasm and passion for this breed. What many may not know about Heath er is how she quietly goes about staying educated and serving in various ways. She is an active member of the Texas Cattlewomen and the East Texas Cattlewomen

associations and has served as the secretary for the East Texas Longhorn Association affiliate for several years. Heather, a proud Texas native, with a personality that epitomizes the slogan “everything is bigger in Texas”, is always a welcoming presence to new members. She is usually the first to step up and “make a hand” when vol unteers are needed to help with various affiliate events. Together with husband Chris, operating as Triple F Ranch in Grapeland, TX, they have donated calves on multiple occasions to support affiliate youth programs. I could not be more proud to nominate Heather for this award. She is as deserving as anyone I know.

Eitan and Sandy Barhum

After being in the Angus business for several years, I purchased two Longhorns and then I was hooked. I sold my Angus and started buying Longhorns. I first met Sandy & Eitan at the Red McCombs Sale. We became friends and spoke on the phone often. They looked at my herd on my website and recom mended that I sell 3 of my cows and they expressed their opinion. I sold them, and with their help I now have 52 Longhorns. Before buying them, I discussed the cows with them and they gave their opinion. Several times I passed on buying the cow after our discussion. They have assisted me in growing my herd, never accepting compensation. I did not attend last years Legends Sale, but had discussed with them several cows I was inter ested in. After they purchased two cows for me, they offered me more money than I paid for one of the cows. They could have easily raised their number rather than mine. I could go on and on with examples. Sandy and Eitan are knowledgeable, helpful, honest, sincere and always available with advice. H

Amanda Danley

I do not know where she gets all of the energy to accom plish all of the things she does. She is a full-time mom, wife, teacher, rancher and volun teer. Amanda serves on several committees and boards. With the amount of traveling the whole family does she makes sure the kids keep their grades up as well. Never a negative word to be said, just let’s get it done attitude. She fits the qualifications for this award to a T. Danley Cattle Co has received top honors at the World Show the past two years. They also started to gather a group of large-horned, big framed females to add diversity to their herd. H

MEL RALEY RISING STAR

AWARD

Tim & Nikole Clark, 6CR Longhorns

These two individuals have become household names in the Longhorn industry. They are acquiring some of the most complete sires and dams we all desire. In 2022 they have start ed to do ET/IVF work to en hance the breed and the next generation of Legendary Long horns we have seen to date. They are sponsors of the Legends and HSC events and strong participants of the HV Stockyards Sale. As they are in the Northwest, they only run bulls about 60 days out of the year and strive for strong fertility within their cattle operation. To say they are a Rising Star is an un derstatement when describing this wonderful family. H

Pete & Leann Hildebrand

New to the breed, their en thusiasm and involvement has helped sustain the Canadian Texas LH Association. First to volunteer for any job, con tinually looking for new ven ues for our cattle, coming up with promotional ideas, and this year both holding offices on the CTLA Board, they are truly supportive of everything being done here in Canada, when we face limited membership and cover such a vast area. Building their own herd and working with breeders to find what will work for them, they have brought together a group of cattle that they are show ing with pride. Winning their first buckle this year and their first Grand Champion banner, they are on their way to being future breeders that will continue to build the breed in Canada. It’s young people like Pete & Leann that need to be recognized for their positive impact on their peers and the breed. H

Nel Scott

Nel stepped up above and beyond to assist our small ranch and a special calf that would have died without her. We tube fed a calf for 7 days. He refused a bottle. Nel said he needed a nurse cow and so we bought one. Nel had skill, ex perience and patience. She got that little bull to latch on and today he is big and healthy. Nel still comes and checks on him. He is a gentle soul. Nel showed us a better way

to set up pens. Now we are not youth, but our experi ence is youth. We are new to cattle. Nel is honest and trustworthy. She is not only kind, but she has a way with young kids. She has a lot she can teach. She is so proud of being a part of TLBAA. This award is how we see her spirit, a continuation of her life in TLBAA.

We first encountered Nel in April 2021 when I post ed to a Facebook group seeking advice and assistance regarding a new calf that we had not seen the mother nursing. Nel was quick to respond to our post with ex cellent advice on the supplies to gather in case of an issue, but she also gave us assurances that it may just be our deceiving eyes giving us concerns. It turned out the mother was indeed attentive and the calf was fine.

Since this encounter, Nel has always been willing to help with any useful tips and advice and is always avail able to hear our concerns. Most recently, she helped us to market calves and helped us to achieve our desired sales price. I know that Nel is very active in the show circuit and see her posting often to social media about traveling to one Longhorn show or another. I believe she has attended nearly 30 in the previous few years. Our ranch is not currently active in these shows, but I know we would rely on Nel a great deal if we decided to change. Finally, as breeders that are not with our cattle each day, it is a relief to have Nel in the next town over, knowing she would help us to put an eye on our cattle if we need. In addition to her assistance to our ranch, I have met other people within the breed that she has helped. H

James and Victoria Wars

James and Victoria Wars started their Longhorn busi ness in 2018 with one cow and have since built a tremendous herd of registered cattle. This includes their up and coming herd sire, Respected Gun 705. Their herd has already pro duced show calves with nu merous championships and Hall of Fame winners. They have become great supporters of the breed, purchas ing cattle at several sales and sponsoring shows and futurities. James has served as a futurity judge and an nouncer at several shows. Also volunteering his time as ring steward, working make-ready or wherever he was needed. James also serves as a director of the Ark-LaTex and he and his wife Victoria are proud supporters and sponsors of the Ark-La-Tex Wayne “Boppa” DuBose Calf Program. This couple is doing a tremendous job as new breeders and are truly Rising Stars.H

Robert Vanderford

In the short 2.5 years Span ish Oaks Ranch has been in operation many magical things have happened on their ranch. He has one female that is 99”+ TTT and several others that are in the 90’s. Don’t get me wrong, he loves big horned animals, but he is in a quest of the com plete package that everyone desires to build a program on. His young bull SOR Su per Duty (Who carries his brand) was over 72” TTT at 24 months. Robert is already sponsoring and participating in sales while developing a stellar reputation within the industry. He and his family are in this for the long haul. H

Winter Bull Management

IDEALLY,

son is over. This gives them a chance to regain body condition if they lost weight, and makes sure no cows are bred at a time of year you don’t want to be calving. Winter management of bulls is also important in terms to having them healthy and in top shape for the next breeding season.

important thing is to start with good nutrition so bulls can withstand winter weather and be ready to perform in a spring breeding season.

for spring and fall calving. Those bulls must be able to do double duty. For a fall calving season, some bulls will be breeding cows during early winter. “If those bulls have lost 10 to 15% of their body weight during breeding, you need to pay attention to their nutrition during a harsh winter. Cold weather really sucks the energy out of them,” he says. If bulls are thin, they don’t have any reserves for energy, and they also have less insulating muscle and fat to help them keep warm. It’s important to get them back to a good body condition score.

ing around in mud is also a stress; a bull will be colder if he’s knee-deep in mud, and it also takes more energy just to try to walk around.

“Depth of mud has been correlated to how much energy it takes to maneuver and function. If bulls are always in mud they are also more prone to foot rot, soft tissue strain and injury as they try to move around, and if the mud freezes it can have a jagged/rough surface that can predispose them to other injuries and lameness,” he explains.

Nutrition and environment are the most important aspects of winter bull management that are sometimes overlooked. Produc ers often tend to focus more on the cow herd and may neglect the bulls during the off-season from breed ing.

“Nutrition, with proper vitamins and minerals, is important to basic health, performance and fertility. Bulls should be on a good mineral supple ment, and a program for parasite and disease control. Bulls should be part of the herd health program, the same as the cows, receiving vaccinations and deworm ing to help prevent disease.”

Lice can be an issue in winter, along with internal parasites. Parasite loads can be an energy drain, and internal parasites can interfere with ability to digest and absorb nutrients appropriately.

To minimize injury, bulls should be in compatible groups to prevent fighting, and in large enough ar eas to prevent overcrowding. “If bulls are fighting on rough surfaces they may suffer injuries to feet and legs. If you have to put bulls together during the winter, try to introduce the new ones to the group with the least stress possible,” he says.

“For a spring-breeding herd, January, February or March is the time to look at feet, and do any hoof trimming that might be needed on certain bulls. This allows time to identify any issues and do any re peat therapy or follow-up and have them healed before the breeding season. It’s also time to start thinking about breeding soundness exams—at least 30 to 60 days prior to spring breeding,” says Shoe make.

The important thing is to try to keep bulls sound and healthy. Any disease during winter—whether as mild

as foot rot or as severe as pneumonia—that resulted in a bull lying around more, or with a fever, will have an impact on fertility since it takes a bull about 60 days to generate healthy spermatozoa after recovery.

TIPS ON BULL NUTRITION

Buddy Westphal has been raising bulls for many years in Montana. “Some people don’t think about the fact that sperm cells develop for about 60 days prior to when they become mature enough to be ready for breeding a cow. When caring for a bull, you are devel oping and depositing that semen in the ‘bank’ for about 8 weeks before you turn the bull out, so if you are breed ing cows early (for January/February calves—breeding in April/May) the bull is developing that semen during winter. You need to be taking good care of him, nutri tionally, during that time or you won’t have good se men in the bank,” says Westphal.

“For body condition, I like to have bulls at a score 6 before breeding season. This gives them some re serve and they are not too thin or too fat. A bull that is overly fat has too much fat (insulation) around the testicles, in the scrotum. For viable sperm, the temperature of the tes ticles must be 4 degrees lower than body temperature, or the additional heat will kill the sperm cells (just like if he had a fever),” he says.

minerals are also important—especially vitamins A and E. In terms of minerals, calcium and phosphorus lev els in feeds can vary from region to region. Our area is deficient in phosphorus. You need to know the mineral content in your feeds. Some minerals tie up the avail ability of others,” says Westphal. In terms of trace min erals, adequate levels of zinc, copper and selenium are also important for fertility.

“In our country we have a lot of ice in the winter. Bulls can easily get a sole bruise and go lame, looking like they have foot rot. It’s usually a small abscess you can open with a hoof knife to drain and use a little io dine and it will heal. We do everything we can to make sure our bulls have hard, tough feet (less prone to bruis ing),” he explains.

There are some things that should not be fed to bulls. “Fertility is not as good when bulls are fed large amounts of corn silage. And cottonseed meal (often fed because of its high protein and energy content) can a negative effect on fertility,” says Westphal.

YOU START PREPARING FOR NEXT YEAR’S BREEDING SEASON THE DAY YOU PULL THE BULLS FROM THE COWS ”

“You don’t want fat in the scrotum with an overly fat bull, but if a bull is too thin, he may be in trouble. Nutri tionally, bulls need an adequate and balanced diet, and adequate exercise. We always feed our bulls in a loca tion where they have to walk some distance between feed and water. We want them to be well-conditioned athletes so their muscles are toned, and have them walking a lot so their feet are hard. If they are stand ing around in a muddy pren they may end up with bad feet.”

Young bulls need more nutrition (for growth) than older bulls so it pays to separate bulls according to age as well as body condition. “You start preparing for next year’s breeding season the day you pull the bulls from the cows. Some need to regain lost weight. It’s common for a bull to lose 200 pounds during breeding season if he had to breed a lot of cows or cover a lot of territory. A yearling needs to be gaining back that 200 pounds plus another 400 pounds of growth by the next breed ing season, so he needs to be gaining 600-plus pounds in his 200-plus days of recovery time before the next breeding season. This means a gain of 3 pounds per day and he can’t do that eating low-quality grass hay through winter.” He needs a diet with adequate protein, energy and balanced nutrients.

“A mature bull needs a feed that’s 10 to 12% protein and 60 to 70% TDN. Yearling bulls need 14% protein in their diet. To have good semen quality, vitamins and

The glossypol in cottonseed can hinder fertility. In young bulls (6 to 12 months of age) it results in decreased sperm pro duction and an increase in sperm abnormalities. Fed at a high level, it will make the bull completely infertile. One study showed that to avoid problems, the use of whole cottonseed should be limited to 10% or less of the total diet for young bulls, even though it may be an acceptable feed for mature bulls during part of the year. One recommendation is that bulls be taken off whole cottonseed for at least 90 days prior to the start of the breeding season, to ensure there will be new sperm cells present—that were not negatively affected by glossypol.

“Winter nutrition will depend on what feeds are available and cost-effective in your area. It’s also wise to consult with a nutritionist before trying something new, to make sure it will work in your herd,” he says.

Water is also important. “You can’t have frozen water and maintain good body condition. If he can’t get ad equate water he won’t eat enough and will lose weight.”

E-Blasts As A Marketing Tool

The TLBAA offers an opportunity to send your mar keting message directly to the e-mail inbox of our members that have signed up to receive our weekly Enewsletter and e-blasts from us.

Why doesn’t it go out to every TLBAA member? The answer lies in the rules of the companies that facilitate e-mail marketing. Our provider monitors how many people hit unsubscribe or mark our e-mails as spam. If too many people take one of these actions when they receive an e-mail from us, we can be banned from us ing the e-mail platform because they suspect we are spamming people.

The answer to this potential issue is to only send emails to people who wish to get them. There is an op tion on our website to sign up for our e-mails. What this means for anyone paying to send an e-mail blast, or e-blast, out through us is you will reach an inter ested audience highly likely to take the time to open and read the e-mail. Currently that list is approximately 1,700 e-mails. It is a fluid list that is constantly growing.

What are e-blasts good for? An e-blast is the perfect tool to promote an event, highlight sale consignments, sell cattle or semen, or just introduce people to your program. Once an e-blast is sent, it posts immediately to all TLBAA social media pages, therefore reaching a much broader audience. They are especially effective

when you have time sensitive offers or information, or you need to move an animal

What do I do to get an e-blast sent? First, gather your information. A good e-blast will have photos, de scriptive text and contact information at its core. You may also want to link out to web or social media pages.

Next, e-mail myra@tlbaa.org with the information and any other notes you may have if you have a certain layout or color scheme in mind.

You will receive a proof before it goes out and be allowed to make and edits necessary to get the e-blast the way you want it.

Normally, unless they are part of a package deal, eblasts require payment before they are sent out.

Once payment is received the e-blast can go out at a day and time of your choosing or you may simply request the next available slot.

Tips to make the most of your send:

When the e-blast has posted to the TLBAA social media pages, you may hit the share button in order to share to your pages or to groups you may be in.

If you have a website, make included links specific to the animal’s information page or to a sale pen page. It doesn’t always have to go to your home page.

The Benefits of Post-Mortem Examinations

If an animal dies and the cause of death is un known, it often pays to have your veterinarian per form a necropsy to try to determine what happened, especially if a change in management could eliminate the risk for further deaths in the herd. A post-mortem exam might determine whether the animal died from hardware disease, pneumonia, liver flukes, poisoning or some other problem that might be preventable.

In some situations you might take photos and/ or collect a few samples to send to your vet, to try to determine what happened, especially if a change in management could eliminate further deaths. In some instances the cause of death may be readily evident— such as a broken neck from a fall, electrocution from lightning strike, strangulation of a calf that got his head caught in a loop of wire, bloat from overeating in a lush alfalfa field, etc. In other instances the death is puz zling and you might call the vet with questions, or ar range for necropsy.

If there’s a disease in the herd (or a parasite problem or nutritional deficiency) the producer has not been aware of, a necropsy can be a useful tool for helping solve a problem and improve health management.

Dr. Eugene Janzen (University of Calgary) says there may be nothing you can do to prevent the same problem in the future if it turns out to be an odd situ ation not likely to be repeated. “Post-mortem exams can help us know these things. When dealing with calf scours, respiratory disease, or something contagious, you need to know quickly—to try to prevent spread, or manage the problem in the rest of the herd,” he says.

“There may be another level of con cern, if it’s a pathogen that might be spread to humans. A typical situation on some ranches is bringing home a calf from somewhere else, to put on a cow that lost hers, possibly bringing a new pathogen.”

One of these risks is cryptosporidi osis or salmonellosis. “If you are treating a sick calf, this could pose a risk to your family—especially if you have young children and leave your dirty coveralls in the mudroom, or a small child comes to greet you as you come in the door.” Salmonella and cryptosporidia can both infect humans, especially children, elderly people, or anyone with a compromised immune sys

tem. Proper diagnosis in this situation would be im portant for human health.

Dr. David J. Steffen, Veterinary Diagnostic Center, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, is a firm believer in the value of accurate recording of mortality. “For large operations, it makes sense to have the veterinarian teach the basics of post-mortem examination to the herdsman, so deaths can be classified as respiratory, enteric, nutrition or something else—depending on the production stage or age of the animal involved. An accurate accounting of mortalities can flag problems and signal a need for review of health programs. The necropsy serves as quality control for clinical assess ments and treatment protocols,” says Steffen.

“The veterinarian’s role is in training producers to do a basic necropsy, and also quality assurance for tracking the occasional mortalities, and for consulta tion when intervention and treatment is needed,” he says. The veterinarian may need to help with adjusting the treatment and management protocols.

“If animals are dying, the pro ducer needs to keep records and know how many have died. There’s a certain threshold for different production phases, for anticipat ed death loss,” he says. No matter how well you manage cattle in a cow-calf operation, for instance, there will be a certain number of calves lost to scours or some odd situation (hairball, calf stepped on by the cow, etc.). If the num ber of calves lost begins to exceed the “average”, then it’s time to take a closer look.

“Your veterinarian can tell you what those bench marks should be for your production operation and situation. If you have records you can look at the losses

“ IF YOU ARE TREATING A SICK CALF, THIS COULD POSE A RISK TO YOUR FAMILY—ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN. “

in previous years and set a goal for improvement—or if it’s a low level, try to maintain that low level,” says Stef fen.

“When things begin to go awry, and death losses are above normal, the next step is to categorize them as to body systems involved, whether it’s skeletal (like a fracture), or respiratory, or enteric (digestive tract). Most people can determine whether it involves the re spiratory system or is an enteric disease,” he says.

The producer needs to know whether it’s a situation that can be dealt with to prevent further losses—such as moving the cattle out of a certain pasture that contains poison plants. “In baby calves, if you have death losses from enteric diseases, there’s probably a certain level that you deal with every spring, but if all of a sudden you lose a couple of calves with neurologic signs you might have your veterinarian check them because you don’t expect it in this age group. It might be lead poi soning or rabies, or something else you need to know about,” he says.

If you experience a higher than normal death rate in baby calves due to scours, you may want to find out what pathogens you are dealing with, to determine a better way to prevent and/or treat it. “An experienced pro ducer usually has a fairly good idea, due to symptoms, and knows what category to put the death loss into, but it’s still helpful to have a veteri narian open up the calf to make sure you have the proper diagnosis, be cause some calves with enteric dis ease can show neurologic signs if electrolyte imbalances are severe or they become septic and get meningitis,” he explains.

might be happening, before more cattle die.

“It’s good to sit down with your local veterinarian who knows your operation and establish thresholds for when you need to step in and take action. Abortions are an example. You expect a certain number of animals in late gestation to slip their calves for whatever reason, but at some point you should become concerned—if the number increases above average incidence (more than 1 or 2% of the herd).”

Today many people have cell phones that take pho tos. “Some ranchers already use these in keeping re cords,” says Janzen. “They take a picture of the cow, and a picture of her calf with their identifiers and send that to their home computer—as a way to keep track of which calf belongs to which cow,” he says.

POST-MORTEM EXAMS CAN HELP US KNOW THESE THINGS. WHEN DEALING WITH CALF SCOURS, RESPIRATORY DISEASE, OR SOMETHING CONTAGIOUS, YOU NEED TO KNOW QUICKLY—

If you have 250 cows, the first abortion you see is nothing to be concerned about, because it’s normal to have 1 or 2% of pregnant cows abort from a variety of causes. But if suddenly you have 5 abortions, and you can collect tissues and photos and send these to a pa thologist, this can be a highly accurate way of making a diag nosis. If there’s a pattern there, all of this information is more likely to lead to a diagnosis.

TO TRY TO PREVENT SPREAD, OR MANAGE THE PROBLEM IN THE REST OF THE HERD. “

It is important to know what you are dealing with. Gut blockage and bloat in a calf may be due to a hairball, eating dirt, or enteric disease in which the gut shuts down, or an accidental torsion. A necropsy to find the true cause of death may give a producer peace of mind—to know that it was a one-time thing, affecting one calf, and not a contagious disease. If it is a disease, there may be a way to prevent future cases.

“There’s always some regret when someone comes in and has lost their 5th cow and wants to know what’s going on. We ask what they found with the first 4 and they say they didn’t examine those.” They’ve lost that window of opportunity to have a better idea of what

“In an abortion storm, you might be limited in what you can do for this year. Some times, if you can identify an infectious problem, you may be able to vaccinate immediately, assuming there might be some cows in the herd that have not yet been exposed. Of ten, however, you may not know in time,” Janzen says. There may be something you can do, however, to pre vent the problem next year.

Feedlots do necropsies more routinely than cow-calf producers, but there are times the cow-calf producer would benefit--rather than just dragging the dead an imal away and never knowing the cause of death. If mortality is a rare event in your operation, developing this skill may not be worth it, but this is when you call on outside expertise. Some people are reluctant to call their veterinarian, but it often pays to do so, especially if more animals start dying. In that event, a producer might wish he/she had called for a necropsy on the ear lier ones.

Dear TLBT Members,

As we approach Thanksgiving and this holiday season, I’d like to ask you each keep in mind the our service project – The Senior Source, a non-profit organization that focuses on enhancing the quality of life for elderly. Although you may not live nearby, you can still use this as some inspiration this holiday season. What can you do to help someone in your community? Maybe your local church has a Thanksgiving dinner for the elderly in the area living on their own without family close by. Or your school choir is planning on visiting the local nursing home to bring some joy to their residents. Whatever it may be; let’s keep the thought of helping to improve the quality of life for the elderly in our community in mind this holiday season.

I hope you spend these next couple of months with friends and family, giving what you can and being thankful for all you receive.

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into

RULE HIGHLIGHT

GREAT PLAINS

TEXAS LONGHORN ASSOCIATION

We had a good meeting on October 8th, and measured some Longhorns at our Satellite Measurement event that went on to be Horn Showcase Champions. It’s always great to meet and have lunch with other Longhorn enthusiasts.

New breeders continue to join the Longhorn community, helping to build a good market in the upper Midwest. Our region has enjoyed an expanding market, creating a growing need for good Longhorn seed stock. Every producer knows that regardless of how much you love your cows, you simply have to sell some of them. The GPTLA is working to help producers and promote the breed in our region.

HEART OF TEXAS LONGHORN ASSOCIATION

DANNY RUSSELL PRESIDENT

The Heart of Texas Longhorn Association hosted its first event of the year at Meyer’s Barbecue in Elgin, TX. The meet and greet welcomed new members as well as some members from the 1980’s. Like “old home week” it provided folks a chance to get caught up with old friends as well as to meet new ones.

President Danny Russell called the meeting to order and introduced the board of directors consisting of Troy Unger, Bubba Bollier, Sandi Nordhausen, Brad Burkhart and Merrilou Russell. Plans were discussed for future show ideas, educational opportunities, proposed changes to the existing by -laws, and hosting relaxed ranch visits throughout the year. Troy Unger announced that we are working on a website and also a newsletter, H.O.T. OFF THE PRESS which the a liate will use to keep our members “in the know.”

Hollie Unger provided the fall table decorations. Door prizes were provided by Miiler’s Smokehouse of Llano, Allen and Suzanne Perry, and the Unger family. Intended speaker Julie Pack was to speak on vaccinations and deworming practices but was unable to attend; members will receive that info via email.

The group announced its plan to establish a John Marshall Scholarship Fund in memory of John Marshall of Blue Ridge Ranch in Llano, Texas who passed away October 16, 2022. More details are to come on the scholarship at a later date.

Trails West Champion Junior Parader John Lamb

Brent Frank Bolen

November 20, 1953 - September 27, 2022

Memorial services for Brent Frank Bolen of Lufkin were held Friday, October 7, 2022 in the Carroway Funeral Home Chapel. A reception followed at the Bolen residence, Lufkin. Cremation arrangements were under the direction of Carroway Funeral Home.

Brent Frank Bolen passed away unexpectedly in his sleep at 68 years old September 27, 2022. He was in his home with his loving wife, Cindy, and beloved dog, Ranger.

Brent was born November 20, 1953 to Orville and Geraldine (Clem) Bolen in Mesa, Arizona. Brent grew up hunting birds and working on his dad’s dairy farm and his grandparent’s cattle ranch. He graduated from Chandler High School in 1972, where he was involved in sports and showing Black Angus Cattle and a crazy group of pigs in FFA.

After graduating he became a mason and worked his way up quickly from block layer to superintendent. Brent founded his own company in 1982, TCM Masonry, where his sons, Brandon and Brett, eventually worked alongside him. Under Brent’s leadership, TCM Masonry saw extraordinary success, employing over 300 employees while serving the entire Phoenix and Tucson area. Several of his employees have been with him for over 30 years.

He married the love of his life, Cynthia (Adcock) Bolen August 21, 1993. Together they started Bolen Longhorns when they purchased their first set of cattle in 1995. That became their passion and over 20 years later, Bolen Longhorns has become one of the top herds in the longhorn breed. He loved to grow the breed by helping organize shows and sales, and even volunteered his time as Chairman of the Board for the TLBAA. It wasn’t uncommon for him to seek out new breeders to welcome them at events. Some of his favorite accomplishments in the Longhorn industry was being awarded the Texas Longhorn Breeders of Tomorrow Youth Supporter of the Year and being asked to be a tasting judge for the cookie competition for several years at the Autobahn Youth Show. Brent was always right alongside his kids, Jace and Ellie, during the halter breaking process, show preparation, and up to the gate at the show ring.

Brent was a true family man. He loved telling jokes and making people laugh, he didn’t know a stranger. He always had a good story. Brent has touched so many people’s lives and will be dearly missed.

He is survived by his wife, Cindy; his children, Brandon Bolen, Brett Bolen, Jace Bolen, and Ellie and Scott Enright; his siblings, Bruce and Ellen Bolen, and Beverly and Jeff Coffman; and his nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Brenda Bolen.

Brent wanted to be buried by his grandparents, Jack and Gertha Clem, so the Interment of Cremains will be held at Valley of the Sun Cemetery in Chandler, Arizona at a later date.

Joyce Annette Wood August 25, 1937 - October 1, 2022

Joyce Annette (Birch) Wood, of St. Maries, Idaho was born on August 25, 1937 to H.E. And Nellie (Kongable) Birch of Guthrie, Oklahoma. She passed away on October 1, 2022 at Schneidmiller Hospice House in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

Joyce is survived by her daughter, Bobbi (Thompson) Smith (Neil) of St. Maries, Idaho, two granddaughters, Kristin Smith Burns (Nate) of St. Maries, Idaho and Kelly Smith Cox (Jeremiah) of Potlatch, Idaho, and two great grandsons in Idaho. She is also survived by her husband’s daughter, Linda (Wood) Bird (Mark), 3 grandchildren, Doug Bird (Shelly) of Colwich, Kansas, Jeane Lembke (Robert) of Overland Park, Kansas, and Debbie Luckner (Chad) of Clearwater, Kansas, 11 great grandchildren and 3 great, great grandchildren in Kansas. She was preceded in death by her parents, four sisters and one brother, all of Guthrie, Oklahoma and her husband of 25 years, Edwin A. Wood, of Wynnewood, Oklahoma.

Joyce grew up on the family farm and was the youngest of six children. She enjoyed riding horses and competing in rodeo events, 4-H, and FFA. She graduated from Guthrie High School and married her high school sweetheart, Robert E. Thompson in 1955. They had one daughter, Bobbi Jan. While being married to a football coach for 18 years, the family lived in Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Idaho. During that time, Joyce worked for the airlines as a reservation and ticket agent. Her airline experience led to her career in a travel agency, and she opened Travel by Thompson, in Moscow, Idaho in 1971. Joyce’s love of travel became a reality for her when she operated her own successful business as a single woman in the 1970’s. She traveled the world and met her future husband, Eddie Wood, on a trip to Mexico that she organized for the Appaloosa Horse Club. He was the love of her life and they married in 1982. Joyce returned to her earlier roots when she moved to a working cattle ranch in Oklahoma. She and her husband started a longhorn cattle sale management company and traveled extensively throughout the United States conducting longhorn sales. Joyce and Eddie received a True Friends of the Longhorn Industry Award from the International Texas Longhorn Association for their contribution to the longhorn cattle industry. Joyce retired from the cattle sale consignment business after her husband passed away in 2009. She remained on the Pay Day Ranch in Wynnewood, Oklahoma and continued raising longhorn cattle. She sold the ranch in 2018 and moved to Idaho to be near her daughter and grandchildren.

Joyce accomplished many things in her life through her strong will and determination. She was proud of her family and was generous with the gift of her time and caring concern for others. She was a great southern cook and loved having family and friends visit the ranch. She also loved her Standard Poodles and Yorkies who were her lifetime companions. Joyce’s life was one well-lived and as her late husband used to say, “Joyce was the right kind.” Graveside burial will be on the Pay Day Ranch in Wynnewood, Oklahoma.

Shannon Dean Larson

March 29, 1972 - October 2, 2022

It is with profound sadness and a devastating sense of loss that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, son and brother, Shannon Dean Larson. He was our family’s rock and cornerstone. A proud Texan, Shannon was an enthusiastic Longhorn cattle rancher, educator, culture geek, cook, avid guitar collector, and musician/songwriter/lyricist/poet who loved all genres of music. With a witty sense of humor, Shannon captured the attention of all through his outgoing spontaneity and impulsivity, as he never met a stranger, and considered himself such a people person, as his approachable personality and extroverted ways invited any and all into his circle.  Shannon’s abundance mindset was that there was always more room and more time for anyone and everyone.  As a brain cancer warrior for over 21 years, he approached life with his Lord pretty much the same way he approached people: he worshipped, loved and was faithful to his Rock and Redeemer through it all, even when the battles were so very tough.

A specific reflection by Shannon from 2008 portrays his grit and outlook that carried him through:  “…I am marking time by Christmases and birthdays. I am learning that I must never stop learning, I realize that people from my past mean more to me than sometimes I feel I mean to them, but it’s ok…it’s alright…we must live our lives for those that will look back on us and find meaning in the words we said, the things we have done, and with whom we have earned memories….to the next…years…I look forward to you.”  Shannon indeed earned so many memories from so many people in different walks of life.  His own words are so very powerful today, and his voice still speaks.  He pressed on and moved forward through each step, Paso a Paso, and hard time that came his way, especially in the last 5 years of difficult surgeries and countless cancer treatments and therapies. For that, we are exceedingly grateful.

Shannon gained his eternal reward on Sunday, October 2, 2022. He was born on March 29, 1972, in Port Arthur, Texas, to Brenda Castille Larson and Vestal Larson, Jr.  He was a Class of ’90 graduate from Nederland High School, Class of ’94 graduate from Lamar University with his Bachelors in Spanish, Class of ’01 Graduate from Lamar University with his Masters in Counseling and Development, and obtained in 2005 from Stephen F. Austin University his principal certificate.

Shannon’s love for education and helping children succeed is shown through his dedication to his profession in service to five school districts spanning a 25-year career, including being a Spanish teacher, school counselor, assistant principal, and principal. Not many people attempt to work while undergoing major brain surgeries and cancer treatments. However, Shannon, indefatigable as always, remained a loyal and passionate administrator until his medical retirement. He made an impact in both helping students as well as leading the staff. Former students remember him fondly and would always make an effort to give him a big hug, say hello and express how much they appreciated his care for them. Those comments always brought him joy that he was able to help make a difference in their lives.

And even though he was so proud of his professional accomplishments, Shannon was even more proud of his family. Shannon and Jamie’s love story of over 25 years of marriage, was one that withstood all the highs and lows that life could possibly offer, and they remained steadfast, inseparable and deeply devoted to one another. His family gave him the HOPE to keep going, and hope does not disappoint.

An avid amateur videographer, Shannon was enthusiastic about documenting his children’s lives (and those of his longhorns) through film. It might take several years to comb through the large container of discs and flash drives he left us, but Jamie is

determined to gather them into treasured compilations for their children to enjoy. What precious memories these discs hold with Shannon’s voice doing much of the narration!

Whenever Shannon wasn’t attending one of his children’s sports games, band concerts, school plays, awards ceremonies, or any other important milestone event, he could be found overseeing and caring for his longhorn cattle herd.

Shannon was a man of great passion, a man of great wisdom, a man of great love and a gift to all those who were blessed to know him.

Shannon’s legacy of love, zeal for life, and longsuffering will be lovingly remembered by his devoted wife Jamie; daughter Maggie; sons Julian, James, and Simon; parents Brenda & Gene Larson; sister Valerie Carter; brother Jason Larson; loving nieces and nephews; aunts; uncles; cousins and friends.

He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Johnnie and Harry Castille and Estella and Vestal Larson, Sr.

Like everything else in his life, Shannon faced his diagnosis bravely, squarely and gracefully. Shannon’s medical team of neuro-oncologists from Texas (Dr. O’Brien) to Maryland (Dr. Gilbert) were unparalleled in their expert care, and our family would like to extend our deepest gratitude and appreciation.

For anyone willing to share a special memory about Shannon, we would love it if you can write an email and share your stories with us. We want to create a book for his children and future grandchildren so they can always remember how he touched and impacted other people’s lives.

A gathering of Mr. Larson’s family and friends was held, Thursday, October 6, 2022, at Parkway Life Church, Lumberton, under the direction of Broussard’s, Beaumont. A funeral service was held, Friday, October 7, 2022, at Parkway Life Church, with his interment following at Haven of Rest, Beaumont.

In lieu of flowers, the family has requested for contributions to be made in order to fund brain cancer research, treatments, and support brain cancer families at one of the following organizations:
