EDITOR’S NOTES

WHEN WILL SHE? SHOULD SHE BE?

Probably the most frequently asked questions involving the females in your herd are, “When is she going to calve?” and “Should I keep her?” We address both questions this month in our Brood Cow features.

The first article addresses the whole topic of gestation and what can affect it as well as signs that it is nearing the end...calving. The amazing thing about the whole topic is there are no absolutes. But there are ways to get you closer to predicting calving dates. Turn to pg. 16 for a look at factors that play into gestation length, signs of imminent calving and sign trouble may be brewing with the process.

Next we take a look at criteria to consider when deciding whether a Longhorn cow is a keeper, from her structure to her offspring, there’s a lot of good information here, stating on pg.24.

We are happy to be running the Dams of Merit with greater frequency as more breeders are realizing the importance of promoting the productivity of Longhorn females. To learn more about the program and see the newest additions to the list, turn to pg. 30.

So what’s coming up that you need to know? Lots! June will bring the TLBAA World Expo featuring the TLBAA World Show and the Texas Longhorn Junior Nationals. The event is in Belton, TX and you can find a schedule and more details on pg. 10. It’s is a great event to come watch and meet some great Longhorn folks! If you just want to support a great event there are sponsorship opportunities on pg. 11 that offer recognition for your business or ranch.

Start thinking about those individuals that deserve special recognition and nominate them for the TLBAA Special awards. We will be putting the nomination forms online soon and they will be in June Trails. You can already find the criteria and form for the TLBAA Hall of Fame online and it will be in June as well. It is important to remember that even being nominated by your peers is an honor.

The TLBAA Horn Showcase is gearing up and all the forms, sponsorship information and deadlines for the Horn Showcase Select Sale, the Futurity, Measuring, banquet, concert and more can all be found in this issue starting on pg. 33. Keep an eye on E-Trails and the event page on www.tlbaa.org for the latest updates.

We hope to see you down the road. And don’t forget, you can always submit photos, News on the Trail, and editorial ideas for consideration at any time to myra@tlbaa.org!

Blessings!

If you have been considering showing but have not made the plunge yet, here’s your chance to get some insight, see what goes in to participating and talk to folks who have years of experience with showing Longhorn cattle.

The youth are also eager to share their experiences so you get a better idea of whether or not showing Longhorns is something you would want your youth to be a part of.

Some of the highlights for spectators are:

• Texas Longhorn Junior Nationals - watching these kids from Pee Wee through Seniors handle these magnificent animals is simply amazing.

• Non-Haltered Division - Female Longhorns freely roam the ring while judged.

• TLBT Senior Sale - Graduating seniors offer Longhorns at auction to any and all bidders. A great chance to support the youth and take a great Longhorn home. NEW – Your support will qualify as a tax donation! Watch for more information on this opportunity.

• Trophy Steer Show - The largest of the Longhorns take to the ring freely, while being judged from horseback. Truly an awe-inspiring sight.

• Haltered Division - Both youth and adults compete in the ring with animals at halter.

• Awards Banquet - the opportunity to cheer everyone’s accomplishments from the show year. A great time to visit with old friends and to make new ones.

PARTICIPATING? DON’T FORGET:

Health Papers! All animals must have a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection within 30 days of the show; all females over 30 months of age must have a nursing Texas Longhorn calf at side and/or a positive pregnancy status notes on the CVI.

Bring your water tubs, feed buckets and feed/hay.

Be sure and turn in your Gold Merit and Senior Sale books to the show office at check in.

Photography contestants – bring your 8 x 10 black matted photo to the show office.

Silent Auction – bring your items to support the event! Banquet – Everyone is invited! Youth tickets are complimentary, but still need to be reserved. Be sure and secure your $35 ticket in advance with the TLBAA office –we need an accurate count for the caterer.

The (Almost) Science of Predicting Gestation

After a cow is bred, she will generally calve about 283 days after conception. This number of days is just an average however; very few cows calve exactly on their due date. If you saw the cow bred out in the pasture, or if you bred her with AI, you know the breeding date and can calculate the expected calving date. She may calve several days (or even a couple weeks) ahead of that date, or later, depending on that individual calf’s gestation length.

This timing for gestation is partly a matter of genetics; some breeds and some family lines within breeds tend to have longer or shorter gestation lengths, and this is a factor in calving ease. Cattle with shorter gestation lengths generally have smaller calves at birth, since the fetus is growing fastest at the end of gestation. A 278-day gestation usually results in a smaller, lighter calf (in the same breed and type of animal) than if a calf is carried 288 days. One study showed that for each extra day of gestation, there is about a pound (or slightly more than a pound per day) of increase in the size of the calf.

One reason bull calves are often larger and heavier than heifer calves is that they tend to be carried longer, partly due to hormonal factors. A cow that calves a few days before her estimated due date often gives birth to a heifer, whereas a cow that goes overdue often has a bull calf. But actual “due date” can vary; some cows always tend to calve earlier or later than their projected date and some bulls sire calves that are almost always born earlier or later than the expected date.

The rate of fetal maturation (determining when the calf reaches full term and triggers the beginning of labor) is influenced by the genetics of both the sire and dam. One reason a “low birth-weight” bull tends to sire smaller calves is that his calves inherit a shorter gestation length than average. If both the sire and dam tend to have short gestation lengths, the calf will be born earlier than the average due date. If either the sire or the dam has genetics for a longer gestation, however, the results may be mixed, depending on which trait is

inherited by the calf. It can sometimes be a challenge to predict when the cow will calve.

Buddy Westphal, a Montana cattle breeder, has been interested in gestation length for many years— particularly as it applies to ease of calving and giving the cow more time to recover from calving and breed back quicker. “If a cow is calving 10 days or 2 weeks late (and especially if she has a big calf and a hard birth), she’s losing that amount of time to recover and rebreed on schedule. She’ll calve 2 to 3 weeks later the next year and her calf will be 20 pounds lighter than the older calves that are weaned at the same time,” he explains.

After a few years of getting farther and farther behind, that cow will come up open unless a bull is left with the cows for most of the year—with calving strung out nearly year round. “When I started my herd, I began looking for bulls that sired calves with shorter

TECHNOLOGY AIDS PREDICTIONS

Dr. Rob Callan, Colorado State University, says research shows cows undergo a drop in body temperature during the 12 to 24 hours preceding calving. “This can be monitored with temperature sensor boluses,” he says. The bolus is placed in the reticulum, similarly to how a magnet is put into the cow’s stomach, and it stays there and transmits her body temperature, which is picked up by a receiver. Temperature transmitters are useful for detecting fever and early stages of illness and also to flag the cows that might be in early labor, watching for a drop in temperature. When cows can be kept in close proximity to a receiver for the transmitted signals, this could be a way to detect temperature drop as a clue for calving. “A company here in Colorado markets these boluses, primarily for dairy cows. But this might be an option for valuable beef cows. The boluses would probably last the life of a cow,” says Callan.

gestation so I could get my cows bred back quicker, without losing that amount of time,” he says.

“If a cow has a huge calf, even if you don’t have to pull it, she may take longer during labor and often won’t recover from calving as quickly or breed back on time,” Westphal says. Her calf may also be tired and stressed from a hard birth and might take longer to get up and try to nurse. The smaller calves jump right up and nurse and stay healthier, and grow just as big by fall as the ones that are bigger at birth and born later.

“Today I don’t have to wonder whether a cow conceived to our AI breeding or to the cleanup bull, because we ultrasound all the cows for pregnancy testing. We know the breeding date of the AI, and can project the calving date, because ultrasound can determine the age of the fetus and when it was actually

conceived. Knowing which bulls sire which calves gives me a clue as to gestation length, because the heritability of this trait is very high,” Westphal says.

The thing that can skew a predicted date (and birthweight of the calf) is if the female’s genetics are for longer gestation. She may have a bigger calf than you’d like (and calving problems) even if you breed her to a short-gestation/low-birthweight bull. “Birthweight of the cow has an influence on the birthweight of her calf, no matter what you breed her to. The calf may be larger than you hoped,” he says.

Westphal feels that longevity of the cows in his herd is also tied to moderate birthweight and productivity in the bloodlines he uses. “We have many teenage cows that are very productive and they are from those same bloodlines,” he says.

SIGNS OF READINESS TO CALVE

Stockman often try to determine when a cow might calve. There are clues that can guide us—including body changes in the cow such as udder development and teats filling, relaxation of the vulva and softening of muscles on either side of her tail head.

One clue that calving will take place within about 24 hours is the teats filling. Even if the udder has been large for many days, the teats themselves often don’t become full and distended until the cow is nearly ready to calve.

Other signs of impending labor include mucus discharge from the vulva as the cervical plug softens and is expelled. A string of clear mucus may hang from the vulva for a day or two ahead of calving. The cow may show a string of mucus for several days or even weeks, however, before she actually calves.

Tissues around the birth canal become soft; the vulva is enlarged and flabby. The floppy vulva is a sign the cow or heifer is approaching calving, but some individuals are loose and floppy for several weeks.

The pelvic ligaments also relax. The area between the tail head and point of the buttock (pin bone) on each side of the tail appears somewhat sunken. Labor will usually begin about 12 hours after complete relaxation of those ligaments.

If your cows are gentle enough to let you walk up and scratch them, you can feel the pelvic ligaments next to the tail head. This is one of the surest ways to predict calving. These ligaments are about an inch in diameter, connecting the pin bones to the spine. They attach to the vertebrae just ahead of where the tail starts and are easily visible on most dairy cows and also on thin beef cows. On a fleshy beef cow you can’t see them but you can feel them. The ligaments are normally hard and tight, except for a few hours before labor begins, and just after calving. They loosen up as part of the natural process that enables the birth canal to expand so the calf can come through. If these ligaments are soft and spongy, the cow will calve soon.

If you have breeding dates (from AI, or from observing cows during breeding season), you have an estimated “due date”. But as already mentioned, sex of the calf, season of year (summer calves often come a few days earlier than winter calves), heritability of gestation length, nutrition of the dam, etc. can all be factors in whether calves come ahead of or after that date.

Weather also makes a di erence. There is often a flurry of calving just before a storm. The calves that might have arrived over a several-day period will all come at once. When the barometer is falling, you can expect a lot of calves. Many cows that are ready to calve begin labor in a low pressure period rather than when the barometer is rising. It is common to have an abnormally high number of cows calve just before the storm and less calving activity in the herd for the next 48 hours.

Sometimes when the cow is starting early labor she will begin to leak milk. Most cows show behavioral changes and if you know your cows they will tell you when they are in early labor. A cow might become nervous and start pacing the fence if she’s in a confined area, wanting to get out and go find a place to calve. In a big field, she might go o by herself somewhere. Some cows might just be a little more restless and alert than usual. Others don’t give much clue and just lie there chewing their cud, then give a few strains and out pops the calf.

“Even when you have a breeding date and know that it is accurate, there are a few cows that can fool you,” says Westphal. Some may look like they are ready to calve right away, but go a few more weeks before they actually do it, and others might not make much change and keep you guessing right up until the day they calve—making an udder in the last few hours before they give birth.

18 | May 2024 TEXAS LONGHORN TRAILS FEATURE

The big question when you start using a new bull is what the gestation length of his calves will be. Records are generally kept on birthweight, but you don’t always find good records on gestation length. “Yet every good breeder should be able to furnish this information.”

Time of year can often make a di erence in whether the calf is carried longer or shorter. Winterborn calves tend to go a little longer than summerborn calves. But in general, a cow that is calving the same time every year, and bred to bulls with similar bloodlines, will have roughly the same gestation length year to year unless she is bred to a di erent bull that has a longer or shorter gestation length.

Ultrasound provides much more information when preg checking than palpation alone. Photo 212012187 | Cow Pregnancy © Jevtic | Dreamstime.com

“About 90% of my cows calve within a 5-day range of their projected due date, and the ultrasound determination. They generally calve within 3 days ahead or 3 days after that date. This takes most of the guesswork out of it, especially since I know—from the ultrasound--if it will be a bull calf or a heifer,” he says.

SIGNS OF TROUBLE

“Today it’s nice to have ultrasound for preg-testing so you know how far along that cow is, when you check her, and when she might calve. A good ultrasound operator can tell the age of the fetus with extreme accuracy. Every purebred breeder should do this,” says Westphal.

“Ultrasound is a good way to preg-check since you get so much more information than with rectal palpation, and it only costs a couple dollars more per head. Not only do we determine the age of the fetus (and thus predict when that cow will calve) but we can determine its sex, whether there are twins, and sometimes even detect an abnormality such as a deformed calf or a hydrocephalic calf. More than once we’ve found a mummified fetus, which if you were palpating you’d probably think was just a normal calf,” he says.

Sometimes a dead, mummified calf isn’t aborted, and sometimes it does not trigger labor and the cow goes “overdue” with no sign of calving. You might think she bred again later and is going to calve later, but she never calves. Your veterinarian may have to check her and induce labor to get rid of the mummified fetus.

If a cow in the third trimester of gestation starts bagging up too soon (like a month or two before she should actually calve) or has an abnormal discharge from the vulva, she may be about to abort an abnormal or a dead fetus. She should be checked by your veterinarian.

If a cow starts early labor (restless and uncomfortable, kicking at her belly, lying down and getting up repeatedly, as her uterine contractions occur) but doesn’t progress into active labor (abdominal straining), there may be a problem. Torsion of the uterus (putting a twist in the birth canal so nothing can come through), a breech calf, with the butt and tail pressed against the cervix, or some other malpresentation in which nothing enters the birth canal, will make it to where the cow doesn’t progress to active labor and hard straining.

You might assume she is still in early labor and wait too long to check her. The clock is ticking and eventually the placenta will detach and the calf will die. If a cow that usually calves fairly quickly and easily seems to be taking too long in early labor, restrain her and reach into the birth canal to try to determine the cause of the problem.

You might be able to correct the position of the calf so it can enter the birth canal, or have your veterinarian come deal with the situation if you can’t reach the hind legs of a breech calf, or correct a uterine torsion (turning the uterus back over into proper position) so the calf can be brought through the birth canal. If the calf is too malformed to fit through the birth canal, or in a position that can’t be corrected, it might need to be delivered surgically by C-section. If you haven’t waited too long to call your vet, the calf may still be alive and there will still be a chance to get him safely delivered.

Occasionally a cow comes up open that was checked as pregnant. Pregnancy loss can occur at any stage of gestation. You might not see any sign that it happened, if the cow aborted or resorbed the pregnancy early. One clue that she lost it, is that she comes in heat again, later in the year, when she should have been in lateterm pregnancy.

Another clue regarding pregnancy status is the cow’s behavior at weaning time, when you take away her current calf. The cows that are pregnant tend to “give up” their current calf a little more readily; the hormones of pregnancy are influencing them to be more content to say good-by to the calf they’ve been raising all summer. They may hang around the corral (or fence, with fenceline weaning) for a couple of days but then tend to drift away

OLD WIVE’S TALES ABOUT CALVING

Old wives’ tales typically involve something that seems like it could be true, but more than likely are just stories passed along from generation to generation. In some instances, the tales seem to take on validity and are assumed to be true, even though they have no basis in fact. Some are actually detrimental if believed and followed.

One of these old false beliefs is that restricting the pregnant female’s feed will result in a smaller calf and fewer calving problems. In reality, an underfed heifer or cow will simply rob from her body—her energy and protein reserves--to support her unborn calf. The calf will grow to the same size as if the heifer or cow was properly fed but the underfed heifer or cow may then be unable to properly care for her calf. Underfed heifers may have more calving trouble because they are smaller and not as fully developed as they should be, and not as strong, and may have a hard labor. And if cows use up their body stores of fat and protein because they were shortchanged on nutrition, these resources will not be available to support milk production after calving. These cows may not milk as well for their calf, and will likely be too thin to rebreed.

Regarding ways to tell if the cow will have a bull calf or a heifer calf, some folks believe that if the tail switch of the pregnant cow is twisted, her calf will be of one gender and if the tail switch is straight, the calf will be the other gender. A similar “tale” is that you can tell the sex of a calf just before calving by the hair on the tail head or the cow. If the hair is sticking straight up, she’ll have a bull calf, but if the hair is flattened down she will have a heifer.

Some folks think you can tell how soon a cow is going to calve by a slight change in shape of the cow’s belly. Not long before calving the calf shifts in the uterus as it gets into position to be pushed through the birth canal so the cow may look a bit narrower when viewed from front or rear.

to graze and go on about the business of nurturing the new fetus they are carrying. By contrast, an open cow is usually more determined to keep her current calf and won’t give him up that readily. She may stick around and bawl at the corral for days, or come back through several fences to try to get back to her calf after you take her away to a new pasture.

Just because a cow or heifer has a big belly doesn’t necessarily mean she is pregnant. But sometimes you

can tell that there is more fullness and droop at the rear of the abdomen--which could mean she is carrying a calf. By mid-gestation (and definitely by late gestation) you can often see the belly jerk and wiggle on the right side of the cow, when the calf inside is lively and kicking. The rumen takes up much of abdominal space on the left side of the cow, and the calf is lying more on the right side of her lower belly.

Brood Cow or Not?

Identifying the great “brood cows” in your herd can often be a hard task for breeders; especially new breeders who have invested their hard earned dollars into their first herd of registered cattle. All cows that produce calves could be considered “brood cows” but that does not automatically mean they are good at what they do. If we look at one definition of the word “brood” it means a group of young animals. With that in mind, a great brood cow would be one that we would want many or a “brood” of calves from. A good brood cow may not always be the best looking or most attractive cow in the pasture. Often when comparing good brood cows to the cattle that are topping sales they may look completely different. That is not saying that all sale toppers are not good brood cows but it is saying that a good brood cow will not always be one that bidders are clamoring over to add to their herds. To identify the good brood cows a breeder has to know his herd and their production ability. Looking at brood cows they need to possess numerous good traits. In registered cattle that includes fitting the breed standards or guidelines. In other words, they should look like what they are supposed to be. Texas Longhorns should look like Texas Longhorns. If a stranger walked up and saw your herd of brood cows he or she should have no doubt they are looking at Texas Longhorns. TLBAA has a chart included in the Offi cial Handbook found on the TLBAA website that lists the traits a good example of a Texas Longhorn should have. It is important as breeders to know these traits and choose cattle for our herds that exhibit the desired traits. Doing so helps in preservation

of the breed and keeps it identifiable. It also helps prevent having to answer questions about why cattle in the herd look different than they should. Many of these phenotypic or visual Longhorn traits are tied to other equally important traits that are not visible to the eye such as calving ease, fertility, disease resistance, longevity and so on.

According to the guidelines, a Texas Longhorn brood cow when looking at her starting at the front should have a feminine appearance with pronounced length from the poll to the muzzle. There should be some indication of a throat flap and dewlap but it should be refined and never appear pendulous. She should have medium to small round ears that are held up tight to the horns. The neck should be of medium length and trim in the Texas Longhorn brood cow. She should have free moving shoulders that tie into the back and neck smoothly with a strong topline. The hips should be a little wider and taller than the shoulders giving the cow a slight downward slope from back to front. There should be a good spring to the ribs giving the cow ample carrying room for future calves. When looking at the hindquarters the cow should have a long hip with a moderate slope from the hooks to pins. From the rear the hindquarters should appear reasonably broad showing evidence of adequate muscling. While there is more to structure this gives a good overview of the desirable traits when looking at a Texas Longhorn brood cow.

Equally important to the breeder and the herd is production ability. In order to raise a good calf the brood cow first needs to be able to reproduce and do her job efficiently. That means she will have an udder that is structurally sound and balanced with good attachment and four small finger sized teats. All four quarters should be producing milk. She should produce a calf without assistance every twelve months. Many Texas Longhorns will do this in under twelve

Breeding
Pictured for example is one of our brood cows named Olivia. This cow will never top a big sale or be sold private treaty for a large sum but she is a great brood cow in every way. Each year she produces the largest calf in the herd while maintaining good body condition. She also works with any bull she is bred to. Her calves are always the type we want to keep in the herd and they type that are easy to sell.

months. There is much discussion and disagreement about how old a heifer should be before exposure to a bull. Some breeders prefer to start at 14-15 months to have a calf by two years of age and others prefer to wait as long as three years old before breeding the first time. The main point is no matter what age they first calve that they should raise a healthy calf each year after. Texas Long horns should also continue to raise calves at a minimum to well up in their teen years. Many con tinue to raise calves past 20 years old. It is said that the old Miss John Wayne cow from the Milby Butler herd lived and raised calves into her 30’s. That is a remarkable feat and only accomplished by a Texas Longhorn.

These Texas Longhorn brood cows are often faced with changing weather conditions and should have the ability to adapt and overcome the obstacles they face while still continuing to raise a strong, healthy calf each year. Several years back in East Texas we had a severe drought and there was very little grass available. What we did have was a bumper crop of goat weeds. During this time we observed these great cattle adapt to their situation and begin eating the leaves off of

the goat weeds ( a plant they would not normally eat). While not only surviving but staying fat on a less than desirable forage source these cattle also managed to continue their job of raising big healthy calves. We also recently had two of the biggest snow storms in East Texas history with record low temperatures. Even the old cattle came through amazingly with two 16 year old brood cows dropping new healthy babies shortly after. Texas Longhorn brood cows should always have the ability to adapt to changing environments and continue with their purpose of producing viable calves.

As breeders it is up to us to determine the best cattle for our brood cow herds and as I mentioned earlier those cattle may not always be the best looking or biggest horned cattle in the herd. They may not be the ones that would top the sale if taken to town. But what they will always be are great producers of marketable calves. They will produce the heifers you wish to keep in your herd because they are the best made, prettiest calves when weaned and continue to grow and blossom into beautiful young animals. These will also be

A good brood cow will raise her calf without losing significant body weight. They are also known as “easy keepers”.

the calves interested buyers wish to purchase when they come to visit. When records are kept these will be cattle that are producing replacements regularly for the herd or bringing in profitable cash payments with the sale of their calves. Either way they are adding to the value you receive from the Texas Longhorn herd. We have a few of these type cattle in our own herd and none of them are over 70” tip to tip with a couple under 60” but year after year they out produce themselves with their calves.

That brings us to another component of the brood cow. Desirably the top brood cow should be producing calves that are better than or at a minimum as good as herself. Cows that produce subpar calves are a financial liability to the herd. If the best you can hope to get out of a cow’s calf is a sale barn price or a roping calf you are costing yourself in the long run and she might be better placed into packages in a beef program. Knowing where you will get the most out of your cattle is vital to being successful in the Longhorn industry. Some of the most beautiful looking cattle can turn out to be losers on the production end. That is why it is important to make educated decisions about your herd.

Another area to look at when selecting brood cows is maintenance. How well does the cow keep her body condition while raising a big, fat calf? You will find some cows that can turn out a calf half as big as they are and look like they never lost a pound or lost very little

weight. We call these cattle easy keepers. You will likely see other cows that go to pieces and look extremely skinny after raising a calf. We call these hard keepers. Identifying those easy keeping cattle can be a boost to your bottom line in the business as they require less feed expense to maintain than a hard keeping cow. I have often heard it said that a cow that raises a big calf but loses a lot of weight is a good mama and is just giving everything to her calf. And while that may be true, this type of cow will always be inferior to an easy keeping cow that stays in good condition while raising an equally impressive calf. The easy keeping cow will winter much easier than the hard keeping type. The cow that loses much weight while raising a calf will always require more expense to keep her going through the winter months as she doesn’t have the body condition to maintain herself without extra help. Selecting for easy keeping type cattle will be a huge benefit to your program.

Of course, putting together a good herd of brood cows will take plenty of study and some time and money investment but in the long run will pay off tremendously. As breeders we have to be our own critics and truly evaluate our Texas Longhorn herds. Giving cattle a pass because they are pretty or a family pet can cost lots of money if these same cattle are not capable of producing calves worthy of using in the registered herd, the beef program or whatever avenue you may be pursuing with your Longhorn herd. Evaluating our own herds critically may be disappointing at times, especially when looking at those “favorites” in the herd but in the long run it can be one of the most rewarding things you can do.

As breeders of Texas Longhorn cattle it is our responsibility to leave this great breed in better shape for the future generations of breeders who will take our place. That only happens if we are honest with ourselves and others about our own herds. We are the stewards of this great breed of cattle that history has preserved. Let’s all take the time to educate ourselves and make the right decisions for our herds. It will be a rewarding process if you stick to it and utilize high producing brood cows that exhibit correct Longhorn traits in your programs. If we all do that future generations will be proud of what we leave behind.

Nine Additions To Dam of Merit Roll of Honor

We’re excited to welcome nine additions to the Roll of Honor, all owned by Struthoff Ranches, Lynn & Josie Struthoff, of San Antonio, TX.

The new Dams of Excellence include SR Blade of Fire 865, GR Goer’s Shimmer 539 and SR Habenero’s Felena 029.

The new Dams of Distinction are SR 007’s Diamond 521, SR 007’s Glam Agent 542, SR 007’s Martini 526, SR Clout’s Brielle 841, SR Poficient’s Sweetheart and SR Shamrock’s Sweetheart.

The Dam of Merit Program has been available for TLBAA members for many years as a tool to recognize those Texas Longhorn females that stand out in the area of production among Texas Longhorn breeders. Often overlooked as an effective marketing tool, this list is an official record of the positive reproductive record of Longhorn females.

How can it benefit in your program? It shows your dedication to building a herd on a foundation of solid, reproducible genetics. No one can afford females that do not produce offspring regularly and this record shows off those dependable genetics in your herd.

The list also promotes the cost effectiveness of the Texas Longhorn breed. Dependably producing a calf every year is a trait every breed hopes for in a female. Such evidence of productivity can sway other

Dam of Merit Roll of Honor

cattle owners to consider bringing Longhorns into a crossbred program or starting a secondary herd of Longhorns. You may even turn them into 100% Longhorn owners!

What’s the cost to you to get your female on the list?

Only $25 plus a little time investment. You will need to make sure that as your females calve, you have updated their progeny records in H.O.R.N.S.

If you have a female that qualifies, simply call the TLBAA office and speak to registrar Rick Fritsche, or drop him an email at rick@tlbaa.org and he will provide you with the necessary form to fill out to submit your dam for verification. Rick will also help with any questions you may have about “calf at side” information in H.O.R.N.S.

Once the progeny have been verified, your dam will be added to the list which appears in Trails Magazine, posts under “Awards” on www.tlbaa.org, and you will receive a Dam of Merit certificate for your records.

This is an affordable and easy benefit for members to promote a very important positive trait of Texas Longhorns that make owning them that much more satisfying.

**NOTE: This is not a record TLBAA tracks for you. It is up to you, as a owner/breeder, to notify us when your cow has achieved this goal. We look forward to your participation.

All Cattle Must Be Removed By 12:00 p.m.

• A Horn Showcase female entry must have had at least one recorded TLBAA calf, be nursing a calf at side or be confirmed bred by 36 months of age by palpation, ultrasound or BioPRYN blood test conducted 60-days past breeding and be so noted on a health certificate signed by a veterinarian and furnished to the show office.

SATELLITE AWARD WINNER

An award will be given to the host of the satellite who has the most animals measured at their location that are NOT owned by the satellite host. Animals that are owned in partnership by the host do not count.

It will be decided by number of measurement entries, not by number of animals.

As an example, an animal entered and measured for composite will count three times.

GET OF SIRE AND PRODUCE OF DAM

• Get of Sire and Produce of Dam will each offer a Junior Division and a Senior Division.

• Each Division is based on the age of the offspring of the animal entered. The Junior Division consists of offspring between the ages of two and five years of age. The Senior Division consists of offspring six years and older.

• Sires must have three offspring in any (Jr. or Sr.) Division to compete in that Division. All offspring must be measured in TTT, TH & Composite.

• Dams must have two offspring in any (Jr. or Sr.) Division to compete in that Division. All offspring must be measured in TTT, TH & Composite.

• Both living and deceased bulls and cows can be entered since entries are based on measurements of offspring.

• Scoring for each animal will be computed by adding the values of TTT, TH and Composite of all three offspring for a bull or both offspring for a cow. The bull or cow with the highest value of the total added measurements amongst offspring will be the winner.

• Animals do not need to be present to compete in this class – can be measured at a satellite or in .

• Only breeding animals (Bulls or Cows) can compete as offspring.

• Offspring may be produced by natural breeding, artificial insemination or embryo transfer.

The TLBAA HSC Futurity is set up by age divisions to allow breeders the opportunity to exhibit the total package animals that represent their breeding operation.

• There is a 75% cash payout based on the class size. Payout will go to the top third of the class.

• Animals must be entered in at least one horn measurement contest.

• Animals will enter the ring based on age. Youngest to oldest. When the animal being exhibited walks into the ring, the 5 judge panel will be given the animals DOB.

• With the 5 judge panel, the high score and the low score will be thrown out and the remaining three judges will be added together for the final score. In the event of a tie there will be a tie breaker judge selected in advance. That judge’s score will be the tie breaker in the event of a tie.

• Animals must measure in at least one measurement class to participate in Futurity as well as be eligible for a Superior Award.

ULTIMATE COW & BULL AWARD

• One bull and one female will be chosen based on popular vote.

• Animals must be present in Oklahoma City to be eligible.

• Ballots will be available at the TLBAA desk during the event for voting.

HORN SHOWCASE SUPERIOR AWARD

This innovative award showcases our most elite animals that possess the total package we all strive for. To achieve the Superior Award, animals are required to compete in the horn measurement contest, as well as be judged on conformation in the Horn Showcase Futurity.

To be win the Superior Award, an animal must place first in both a measurement class and their Futurity class.

Winners will have a trophy mailed to them after the event.

BULL ALLEY

• Bulls must be TLBAA A.I. certified and have an A.I. certified number to sell semen and participate in most straws sold.

• Bulls that are living must be present in Oklahoma City; deceased bulls may be entered for semen sales only. (Deceased bulls may have their offspring on site to represent them)

• Each owner should bring a semen tank with semen for sale or have semen sent to Champion Genetics. Must have 50 straws minimum available. If less than 50 straws available, seller must pay shipping to buyer.

Cows Need Salt to Avoid Grass Tetany

Annual death loss from grass tetany (also called grass staggers, milk tetany, lactation tetany, winter tetany, wheat pasture poisoning, crested wheatgrass poisoning, barley poisoning) costs stockmen millions of dollars every year, but the cause of grass tetany has been poorly understood. It a ects mature cattle grazing lush forage, after weather changes like freezing early spring pastures or sudden growth after rainfall following drought.

This disease is associated with magnesium deficiency, calcium deficiency and excess potassium in the blood of a ected animals. During cool, wet conditions or regrowth after frost or drought damage, sodium levels in certain forage plants plummet, while nitrogen and potassium levels spike. Recommended prevention has been supplemental dietary magnesium, and many producers feed high levels to try to prevent losses. Standard treatment for acute cases has been to administer oral and/or intravenous magnesium.

After examining cattle lost in 2001 following spring frosts in the Midwest, Dr. Thomas Swerckzek (a veterinary pathologist in Kentucky) found clues about the cause and prevention of grass tetany.

A few years earlier, he had collaborated with Dr. William McCaw, a veterinarian working with several purebred herds trying to find answers to some of their health problems. When Swerczek started looking at herds, he found one farm with very healthy crossbreds. The owner was feeding loose salt rather than mineral mixes. Most farmers in that area fed mineral mixes and salt/mineral blocks, and cattle often overate the mineral mixes, to get the little bit of salt in them.

“This was a hint that maybe it wasn’t necessary to feed magnesium to prevent grass tetany. Later, when I got several herds o the mineral mix, they quickly started to turn around. Most of the cows had been suffering from diarrhea, wasting away, and within 24-48 hours they improved, after giving them plain loose salt instead of mineral.”

He was working with a herd of about 1000 purebred cattle and one day he was driving through that farm with the manager. “We came across a cow that had been down for several days in spite of multiple treatments with magnesium and calcium.”

Swerczek had some sea salt, and put it in front of that cow. Three hours later she’d gotten up and wandered o , and then went down again. The manager put more salt in front of her. By the next morning and she’d gotten up and rejoined the herd.

There were other cattle in the herd showing signs of grass tetany and going down. “I told the manager to put a handful of salt in front of them or get it into their mouths. Those cows came out of it.”

Many combination salt-mineral blocks do not have enough salt content to prevent tetany.

The farmer with the crossbred cattle had a salt house in every pasture. “He wasn’t feeding any magnesium. He’d been in the cattle business more than 40 years and had never had a case of grass tetany,” says Swerczek.

“We had massive losses in Kentucky one year, due to an unusual winter with many warm spells. Grass and clover grew early. Then we had a hard freeze in April. Cattle went down by the thousands with grass tetany and bloat. People were using bloat blocks but this didn’t help, because they didn’t have salt,” he explains.

“The same thing happened in 2010. We had a lot of clover and the farmers using bloat blocks said their cows were eating them like candy and it didn’t help. The farmers who had salt out didn’t lose cattle,” says Swerczek.

“The reason cows go down with grass tetany is that they are short on magnesium and calcium, but I didn’t know why salt worked.” Then he discovered a connection between grass tetany and nitrates.

“We’d been taught for many years that nitrate is not toxic — that nitrite is the problem. In the 1940’s when

TEXAS LONGHORN TRAILS May 2024 | 41
HERD HEALTH

nitrate was discovered as the cause of cornstalk toxicity, it was nitrites causing shortage of oxygen in the blood. But I found that nitrate is 100 times more important in grass tetany than nitrite,” he says.

The body must get rid of the nitrate and it does this through the cations, especially sodium. “When there isn’t adequate salt in the blood, the body grabs onto the most available cation, which would be magnesium and then calcium,” he explains. When the spike of nitrate occurs — when the cow consumes frostdamaged forage — her body immediately uses magnesium in the blood to combine with and get rid of the nitrate, which depletes the body’s magnesium, and this is why the cow goes down.

“If there’s enough salt available the body can grab onto the sodium and cows don’t go down with grass tetany or milk fever. If they don’t have salt on the day this hits, they go down. It has to be there all the time and it can’t be hard salt blocks because cattle can’t eat enough when they suddenly need it.”

Another piece of the puzzle fell into place after Swerczek found that on some farms — even though farmers supplied salt — cattle weren’t eating enough of it. Potassium level in grass was spiking (15 times higher than normal) after hard frost, especially when it was lush and highly fertilized.

ANOTHER STUDY

DANGERS IN LIMITING SALT

Swerczek points out that for the past several decades the livestock industry has limited the amount of sodium chloride (salt) in mineral mixes, to encourage animals to consume more minerals—which they do, in an attempt to get the salt they need. This lack of salt has led to over-consumption of minerals that are not toxic if fed at proper levels, but which can be toxic if fed in excessive amounts.

Grass tetany occurs frequently in the East, due to frequently changing weather conditions. The grass grows for a while during winter, and then weather turns cold again. Missouri has the same problems, professor Dale Blevins, at the University of Missouri, did a study. When extreme weather change occurred in 2007 (warm weather, and then frost), Blevins had his graduate students analyze the grass — mostly fast-growing tall fescue — to see what changes occurred during the frost. He wrote an article (published February 2011 in Plant Management Network) linking salt deficiency and grass tetany.

This restriction of sodium has not only led to an increase in incidence of grass tetany, milk fever, downer cow syndrome, acute bloat, vaginal and rectal prolapses (due to lack of muscle tone and relaxation of smooth muscles) but has also created problems caused by animals’ over-consumption of minerals in their attempt to obtain salt. Over-feeding of magnesium, for instance, may result in decreased milk production in dairy cows, severe reduction in weight gains for calves, and other signs of mineral imbalance and toxicity.

“Since the cation potassium and sodium are so close together, these minerals can substitute for one another. When potassium spikes, even though cattle have salt available they won’t eat it because the body thinks they already have enough.” They are actually sodium-starved but their bodies didn’t know the difference between an excess amount of potassium and too little sodium.

The body usually has the ability to keep sodium levels within normal range, but when it drops lower, you only have a few hours before that animal dies. “If you feed salt, however, and the animals eat it, they’ll be fine — as long as they have plenty of water.” British scientists in the 1930’s noticed that salt could prevent grass tetany, but no one put it all together until Swerczek figured it out.

When his students analyzed the grass to see what changes took place, they found that sodium levels dropped. There was no change in magnesium. Blevins stated that the outbreak of grass tetany that followed the cold weather in April 2007 was not a result of low dietary magnesium, but due to impaired magnesium absorption by the grazing animals. Since magnesium absorption from the rumen is dependent upon sodium, the sodium deficiency (due to freeze injury and drying of the young fescue leaves) could be the most damaging consequence of a spring freeze.

His paper also mentioned that rapidly growing lush tall fescue in early spring is often higher in nitrogen and lower in sodium than during the rest of the growing season. These factors may have a strong influence on plant magnesium uptake and/or animal absorption. Fertilizing pastures with nitrogen has also been associated with depressed magnesium uptake and disturbed magnesium/sodium balance of grazing animals. Higher nitrate intake in the diet has been linked with decreased magnesium absorption from the forestomach, and decreased sodium concentration in the rumen.

“The reason sodium level goes so low is that nitrate level rises dramatically, along with the potassium,” says Swerczek. “So Blevins confirmed that sodium is important and cattlemen should consider using salt to help prevent grass tetany.”

EAST TEXAS LONGHORN ASSOCIATION

DEBORAH BURKHAM PRESIDENT DBURK5@HOTMAIL.COM

The ETLA would like to take a moment to honor our 2024 Graduating Seniors and their Senior Sale Animals.

Clarissa Hart, 18, of Ferris, Texas, will be graduating from Ferris High School this spring. Clarissa has been exhibiting Texas longhorns for nearly 3 years and has enjoyed every bit of it. After graduating this spring, Clarissa will be attending Tarleton State University, to major in Animal Science with a course path towards becoming a Vet Tech. When she graduates from Tarleton she plans to work in a vet o ce, pursuing her dreams and working with animals. She says that “I will also stay connected with the breed and organization that shaped me into the person I am today. I hope I leave an impact on the youth by being a great role model at every event. I’m always putting my best foot forward, so the youth have someone they can look up to and be inspired by, because I remember having those people in my life when I first started in the breed and organization. To this day, they are still people I look up to and see as role models.”

Clarissa has been exhibiting and promoting her senior sale heifer, OCC Oklahoma Smokeshow. Her date of birth is January 25, 2023. Her dam is Hi 5’s Roxy, and her sire is Anchor T Sunrise Storm. She says her advice to seniors next year is “to soak in every moment, and every memory that comes your way, because it goes by fast and in the blink of an eye.” Clarissa also gives some advice for other individuals “never compare yourself to someone else

around you, especially someone that has been in the organization way longer than you have. It’s okay to ask questions, don’t ever be afraid to ask people for help or even their opinion on something, because it could benefit you.”

Clarissa says she has benefited greatly from her involvement with the breed. “How to be more responsible with time, learning when certain things need to be done, and to not slack, because it not only affects you but people and/or animals as well. It has also helped me get out of my shell and experience new things that I never thought I would experience; I will be forever grateful for and cherish those memories for a lifetime.” Additionally, Clarissa would like to thank Walker, Bobbi, and Halle at Outlaw Cattle Company for her amazing Senior Sale heifer, “Thank you guys for always being so kind and helping me in many ways when I needed it. I will forever be grateful for what y’all have done for me! Y’all’s big hearts is something I look up to and hold onto!” She also wants to thank each person who has poured into her through her 3 years of involvement, “y’all just don’t know how much it all means to me and my family.”

Evelyn Noel Sabio, 18, of Boyd, Texas will be graduating from Boyd High School this spring. She has been exhibiting Texas Longhorns since third grade in both the TLBAA and ITLA associations, as well as futurities and attending some sales. During her educational career Evelyn has earned achievements such as FFA Lonestar Degree, Wise County Youth Fair Junior Board, and a member of National Honors Society all four years of highschool. Additionally, she has earned the Girl Scouts Gold Award, has served as the NTLBA Youth President 2022-2024, TLBT Youth Senior Director 2022-2023, and TLBT Youth Secretary 2023-2024. After graduating this spring, she plans to attend West Texas A&M University in the fall to major in Animal Science. She says her plans are to “pursue my dream career as a travel vet, specializing in Bovine Reproduction. When I receive my degree in Animal Science, I plan to still be a part of the Longhorn industry. My long-term plan is to open my own large animal vet office near my hometown. I plan to continue to breed cows for the show ring, futurities, and sales. I hope to eventually get handed down/take over our ranch; EJS Ranch.”

Evelyn has been exhibiting and promoting her senior sale heifer EJS Jovilyne. Her date of birth is January 13, 2023, her sire and dam are WP Ax’s Jaxs and EJS Cleopatra. Jovilyne has won her fair share of champion titles, but I don’t think that is very important when it comes to your senior sale heifer. My senior sale heifer is very important to me but not because she is my senior sale heifer but because I chose that pairing. Jovilyne is the sweetest cow and has the best personality, she loves everyone she meets, and she loves to eat donuts and sugar cookies.

Evelyn says that she hopes she left a positive impact on youth as well as the adults within the breed. “I try to always be a positive role model, hard worker, display good sportsmanship and always do my best. I hope the youth look up to me as someone they can trust and learn from, and adults see me as their equal. I have formed many great relationships within the Longhorn community, and they have helped shape me into the person that I am today.” A piece of advice Evelyn shared is “if you do not like what you are doing, then why do it?” Pursue something that you will enjoy doing and not something you will dread, something you will never get tired of doing. Don’t let someone tell you that you can’t do something, you can prove them wrong by achieving your goals.”

“Being a part of the longhorn breed has given me the opportunity to improve my leadership and time management skills. Having the opportunity to lead the NTLBA youth association has helped me guide the other youth members in their longhorn journey. Being the youth president has helped me strengthen my time management skills by meeting deadlines for show dates and putting on fun small get togethers for the youth members. Owning livestock comes with many challenges, some bad and some good; and has taught me how to navigate them. Having the opportunity to own Texas Longhorns comes with great responsibility and this has helped me prepare for my future.”

Lainey Schwarz, 18, of Midway, Texas will be graduating from her home institution this spring. She has been exhibiting Texas Longhorns for six years, her first showing being the San Angelo Livestock Show. In 2020, she began homeschooling and glad she had the opportunity to do so. She says that being homeschooled “Gave me more opportunities to learn culinary skills and get my schooling done at my own pace.” In the fall, Lainey will be attending the Culinary Institute Lenôtre in Houston, Texas. Her dream is to open a bakery and sandwich shop in her town. She plans to continue to attend shows and exhibit longhorns in open haltered events after graduating, she says “The longhorn breed and my cattle mean a lot to me. I don’t ever plan on giving that part of my life up.” Lainey says she hopes she has left a lasting impact on the breed, “Honesty, integrity, and hard work is what I al-

TEXAS LONGHORN TRAILS May 2024 | 47

ways try to achieve in everything I do. Lending a helping hand and making sure others are happy is important to me. I hope that is what others see and that I have left an impact on at least one individual.”

Lainey has been exhibiting and promoting her senior sale heifer, Sanddollar Dream Catcher. When asked about her heifer Lainey goes on to discuss lineage, characteristics, and breeding status, “Her sire is Redeemer’s Return, who goes back to NP Redeemer’s Redemption who has sired some of the most influential calves on the show circuit. Her dam is Sanddollar Sweet Sleep, talk about a female who combines conformation, frame, size, horn, and the sweetest disposition. Dream Catcher goes back to Saltgrass, Phenomenon, Sunrise Admiral and so many more great names. Her date of birth is September 26, 2022, and she is confirmed bred to SL Whiskey Business for a September 2024 calf.

Before exhibiting longhorns, Lainey was a “very shy person and had little self-confidence.” Her involvement with longhorns “has built my confidence, given me better coordination and improved my speaking abilities. Those skills are needed in life and I’m so thankful for the opportunity to be in the longhorn family.” Lainey shares some advice with the youth stating “Have fun and make some lifelong friends! Don’t do it to chase buckles and banners, do it for the love of the breed and the memories that will last a lifetime.”

Spring is in full swing and it’s absolutely my favorite time of year! New babies appearing in the pasture, preparations for the various contests to be held at the TLBT World Show and the fun of choosing bulls for spring breeding. Some of our favorite shows are held in the Spring and I hope everyone gets an opportunity to participate in a few. This year, Spring is filled with even more excitement for me as I prepare for my next journey, pursuing a degree in Animal Science at Texas A & M! Several TLBT Seniors are busy making plans for what the future holds for them. Whether you’re attending college, trade school or straight into the workforce, the time spent in the TLBT will benefit you. Make sure you’re applying for the scholarships available from the many a liates and don’t forget about the Bright Futures Scholarship through the TLBAA! Several of the TLBT graduating seniors will also be selling their Senior Sale Heifer at the TLBAA World Show! Please consider attending the live auction which will be held Friday, June 14, 2024 at 1:00 PM at the TLBAA World Expo in Belton, Texas. Beautiful cattle will be sold by participating seniors and all funds raised will directly benefit the graduating senior. Add-ons will also be accepted to help raise more funds for each participant. Spring has always been my favorite season and this year, my fellow senior exhibitors and I are really taking it all in. Looking forward to celebrating at the Fiesta party in June - see y’all in Belton!!!

Senior:

Who is the current TLBAA Chairman of the Board?

How Long have you been breeding Texas Longhorn cattle?

- I started with two registered in 1988 when my husband and I purchased two for our wedding.

What was your favorite award that you received while showing longhorns?

- 1999 Grand Champion Female Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo with Jet Around with Mary CP.

Do you have a favorite cow in your herd or specific bloodline?

- My favorite bloodline is Sanddollar Discovery. He works on just about any bloodline you put him on, and his daughters work well with a lot of di erent bloodlines. Any words of advice for the youth inside the show industry?

- If you’re serious about showing cattle, give 100% in e ort. When I decided to hunt Alaska, I cam up with an exercise and diet plan, and had some shooting instructors to make me the best I could as a hunter before going. The same with showing, your animals should never miss a meal. You have to put the hours in at the house to do good in the show ring.

What have you learned from showing Longhorns?

Nich as Mathey Junior Director

For more info or questions regarding the TLBT, please contact us at tlbtadvisors@gmail.com or visit us on social media!

- I have learned so many lessons while showing Texas Longhorns. The things that stand out the most are discipline and dedication. Like most everyone who shows I have had many times I did not want to wake up to another early alarm just to find out a cow that has to be washed again. I made a commitment and said I would do it, so I do it. At the end of every how I am proud of the hard work I did, and on the best days it ends with a fist full of ribbons.

What/Who has been your biggest influence while showing Texas Longhorn Cattle?

- Kyla Lovejoy is someone in the industry that has had a big influence on me. She is someone who is not even related to me, but is always ringside to tell me how to be better, but also to tell me good job. She is a great teacher and friend. I have also been influenced by my dad. He works really hard all week, every week, but is always the most excited to load up and take me to a show. He is a hard worker and he loves spending time with his family. What would you like to accomplish/pursue in your future endeavors? (For example, after high school or college)

- I plan to go into the land surveying industry after high school.

How Can I Get My Child Started Showing Longhorns?

STEP 1

Unlike most other forms of showing livestock, showing Registered Texas Longhorns does not require a youth to own the animal that it shows. In order to prepare your child to walk into the show ring, first that child must be a junior member of the TLBAA.

Parents are not required to be members unless they choose to become Longhorn owners and be a part of the whole Longhorn experience.

STEP 2

Find a TLBAA Affiliate in your area. You can find a list of affiliates and their contacts on www.tlbaa. org. You may also look at the schedule of events page in the back of Trails Magazine or the calendar tab on the website to find a show near you to visit and meet Longhorn members.

STEP 3

Many breeders have animals that they would love to allow a youth to show. It may be possible for you to arrange to work with a breeder who shows and see if arrangements can be made for your child to learn from them and get their first show experience working with someone already familiar with the experience.

If you already own your own Longhorns, there are camps and workshops you can attend, or maybe some private one-on-one with a Longhorn show person, to show you the ropes of halter breaking and working with your animal.

If you are fortunate enough to purchase a halter-broken animal, maybe even one that has already shown, then talk to someone to understand the process of entering and attending a show to be prepared to make your debut.

STEP 4

Take advantage of information in Trails Magazine, www.tlbaa.org, affiliate activities and showmanship camps to broaden your knowledge and gain experience. Try to enter as many shows as you can, even if you don’t think you are doing well. Nothing can be done well without learning and practice.

STEP 5

During all the steps above and beyond, have fun! Enjoy making new friends and watching your child build character, learn life lessons and develop skills that will help them throughout the rest of their life! Aim for the trophies but focus on the rewards of the journey.

Attention Show Chairs!

Results are published once official results are received and verified as correct in the HORNS show management system. Please submit your official results to the TLBAA office as soon as possible to avoid a delay in being published in Trails Magazine and to ensure points are kept current. Please feel Non-Haltered to submit champion/Reserve Champion photos as well. Candids may be submitted to myra@tlbaa.org and may be used based on space available.
