‘Dr. Tank’ Dr. T.D. Tanksley, Jr.

By Cherie Carrabba

I

remember the first time that I met Dr. Tanksley. It with a new generation of junior was at the Galveston County Fair in the late 1970s. livestock exhibitors. I watched him The fair was held in the spring of the year, and he was as he demonstrated showmanship dressed in brown slacks, a white short-sleeve shirt, a tie and his one day at Pierce Pavilion; he was straw hat. I always thought that “Tank” was an attractive man. right there, hands on, He could command an audience, and that day in Arcadia, Texas, showing exhibitors he had complete command of the audience as he walked around how it was the ring herding kids and judging pigs. If you ever heard “Tank” done. talk a swine class, you remembered that voice forever. I thought When he was a great judge, and I knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, he that he was a great man.

There is no telling how many times “Tank” judged, but I can guarantee you that anyone who was in the arena when he judged had no doubt that he knew exactly what he was talking about.

He spoke with authority, and that authority came with years of working in the swine industry. I can’t think of a man that was more respected in his field than Dr. T.D. Tanksley. As a pork producer told me one day, “He is more like a God than any other man in the swine industry. People revere him.”

He built the swine industry in Texas, and watched as it became one of the toughest places where exhibitors showed pigs. At the was finished, I wanted to talk to him, but he was being mobbed majority of the county fairs in this state, there are more swine by kids and moms and dads eager for his advice. I waited there shown in the junior show than any other species of livestock – a a few minutes, and then I slipped back to the other side of the lot of that was due to “Tank.” arena. More than an hour passed before he finished talking He raised a family that became intricately involved in junior to the individuals from the crowd. Wiping his face with his livestock throughout the state. His grandchildren were Texas handkerchief he walked up to me and said, “I saw you standing junior livestock exhibitors, and his great grandchildren are now back there, so I figured you wanted to talk to me, but I was busy showing. Some of them have made invaluable contributions to at the time with those kids.” the livestock industry.

I smiled and said, “I He also raised an think that is how you He is more like a God than any extended family who have spent your life, being other man in the swine industry. felt he was as much a busy with those kids.”

People revere him. father as a teacher. To He smiled back and said, the end of his life, former – a pork producer “Can you think of a students and associates better thing to do?” “No, wanted his advice and council.

I want to pick his brain,” she said. watched as he drove off, and I wondered how many times he had When he was in his seventies I asked him if he would help done that same thing in other places and at other events. And with TJLA Pig Camp when it was held separately from the other that is how I will remember Dr. T. D. Tanksley, as a man who species. He readily agreed and showed up eager to associate spent his life “busy with those kids.”

Dr. T. D. Tanksley, Jr. March 7, 1925 – april 12, 2011

Dr. T.D.Tanksley, Jr. was born in Bertram, Texas in 1925, to T.D.and Olivia (Beal) Tanksley and was reared on the family general livestock farm in Burnet County. T.D.graduated from Bertram High School at the age of 16 and enrolled in the Texas Agricultural & Mechanical College in the summer and completed the fall and spring semesters before being drafted into the Army at Ft. Sam Houston for officer and pilot training. Following 30 months active duty in the Army Air Force as a bomber pilot he returned and married Margaret McAndrew, his high school sweetheart, August 12, 1945. He received his B.S. in Agriculture Education, and graduated as Valedictorian of his class in 1947.

He served Llano County influencing the lives of Llano county producers and students for the next ten years, first as Vocational Agricultural teacher, then in 1954 as County Agricultural Agent.

His efforts in Llano County earned him recognition as one of the Five Outstanding Young Texans in 1956 by the Texas Junior Chamber of Commerce.

In December, 1956 he joined the staff of the Texas A & M College of Animal Science Department as Extension Swine Specialist while working towards his doctorate. In 1968, he received his Ph.D degree in Biochemistry and Nutrition.

He then assumed leadership of the Department of Animal Science swine research and teaching program at Texas A & M University in addition to part-time Texas Agricultural Extension Service responsibilities. That same year he was promoted to Associate Professor, then to professor in 1973. “Tank” as he was affectionately known to producers and kids alike was an uncommon teacher and researcher. He was named Professor Emeritus, Animal Science, when he retired in 1985.

Dr. Tanksley excelled in his teaching, research and extension activities. He served as major professor on 11 Ph. D., and 45 Master’s degree Agricultural graduates. His excellence in teaching twice brought him the Distinguished Achievement Award in Teaching and Outstanding Professor Award from Texas A & M University. He was a polished communicator who could explain complex ideas and concepts in terms that students, producers and scientists alike could easily understand. His intimate knowledge of swine production and nutrition, coupled with his ability to communicate, made him an effective and well-known speaker. He was an invited program participant in 15 foreign countries, and delivered lectures at 32 conferences outside of Texas since 1974.

His early research focused on the use of sorghum and cottonseed meal as swine feedstuffs. The feeding guidelines established from this research have impacted the Southwest, 20

MAY/JUNE 2011 | THE SHOWBOX

and countries worldwide, where these feedstuffs are available. He was one of the first U.S. researchers to determine the calcium and phosphorous requirements needed to maximize development and strength of bone in fast-growing boars. His research in amino acid nutrition has included work to determine the lysine, tryptophan, and threonine requirements of growing swine, and the use of low-protein sorghum diets fortified with crystalline amino acids. His work in determining the digestibility of amino acids in swine feedstuffs has gained international attention. He authored or coauthored over 100 publications and served on the research advisory committees of the NPPC, American Soybean Association, Farmland Industries and American Hoechst Corporation. He received the Animal Management 1985 Award and was named Honorary Fellow in 1986

by American Society of Animal Science and Outstanding Achievement in Sorghum Utilization in 1987.

Dr. Tanksley judged many county regional state and national swine shows. He pioneered development of the meat-type hog.

He conducted more than 100 live animal appraisal evaluation programs throughout Texas. In the 1970s, Tanksley was one of the first to recognize the hazards of continued selection with lean meat production without considering reproductive and feedlot productive traits. He applied his expertise while serving as a member of the National Pork Producers Council committee that developed the first Procedures to Evaluate Market Hog performance. The Texas Pork Producers inducted him into the Texas Pork Producers Association Hall of Honor in 1995.

Additionally he received the industry’s Distinguished Service Award during the National Pork Industry Forum in 2000.

Although he has received numerous honors for his teaching, extension and research activities, his first love has always been livestock shows and youth programs. He brought energy and enthusiasm as he continued to work with the Ft. Worth, San Antonio and Houston swine shows and educational programs for 4-H and FFA youngsters. In 1997, he was recognized by the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo for 50 continuous years of support as an exhibitor, 4-H and FFA youth advisor and superintendent of the Market Swine and the 4-H and FFA Livestock Judging Contest.

He always reminded the parents and leaders to always keep things in perspective “We are just using pigs to teach youngsters – more important than any grand champion is how this experience has helped the young man or lady become a more confident, responsible person.”

Upon his retirement 26 years ago, Doc returned to his beloved hill country ranch in Bertram and poured all his energy and enthusiasm to the reclamation of his father’s ranch that was homesteaded in the late 1800’s. He used all his building and construction skills from his FFA teaching days and his knowledge gained from Texas A & M Extension and research technologies to turn a 200 acre ranch that ran 4 cows, 20 sheep, and a few laying hens into several multi-crossed fenced coastal and Tifton 85 pastures that would run 40 high quality cows from special genetic lines to be bred for raising show steers for 4-H and FFA youth projects throughout the state. Along with his son Spencer and son-in-law Larry, they built working pens and purchased cattle, bulls and semen for the B and 2T Cattle Company. Ultimately the 2T Cattle Company started raising statewide renowned champion crossbred Brahman steers. For thirty years the Tanksley’s raised Brahman steers that often topped the consigned cattle sale at S & S Show Steer and Cattle sale in Taylor. Many of the steers went on to win major show champions, and Spence continued the tradition with the 2011 Brahman Show Steer Champion at the San Antonio Livestock Show. Doc will be long remembered and recognized by many for developing top notch highly competitive Brahman cross show steers for the 4-H and FFA youth of Texas resulting in Champion kids – his real goal!

T.D. and Margaret Tanksley are devout Christians. His faith was strong to the end and his love of Christ was unquestionable.

One of his passions was to return to Bertram and remodel and renovate the First Christian Church of Bertram with funds that were set aside by his early family members of the church and he accomplished that goal. T.D. served the Lord and his church as member, deacon, elder, officer, trustee and lay leader of the First Christian Churches of Bryan/College Station and Bertram where he was named Elder Emeritus. The First Christian Church

of Bertram was the love of his life.

And that philosophy for making ‘Champion Kids” definitely carried over to his children, grandchildren and great-grand children. His grandchildren called him “Gauke”, Gauke knew showing livestock, playing Little League Baseball, basketball, pee wee football and all the youth activities were important for individual development and training of youth. Nannie and Gauke attended all of the grandchildren and great-grandchildren livestock and athletic activities from 1978 - 2011 including showing cattle, hogs, football, basketball and baseball contests.

He and Margaret were at every county, regional and state activity competition they could make during that 33 year period.

In addition to these activities, he loved spending time working in his garden and nothing provided him more satisfaction than sharing his fruits and vegetables with friends and family. His garden was magnificent and the envy of Bertram gardeners and many benefitted from the gifts and fruits of love from the garden.

He is survived by his loving wife, Margaret A. Tanksley of 65 years. Son Spencer and wife Linda, daughters Pat and husband Larry Boleman, and Janice Christian. Grandchildren Scott L. Boleman and wife Shanna, Chris Boleman and wife Randi, Craig Boleman and wife Kass, Colin Tanksley and wife Susan, Courtney Tanksley, Josh Bishop and Jake Bishop. Great Grandsons Seth and Sage Boleman, Cole and Cade Tanksley and Peyton and Kade Bishop.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made in his memory to: Texas 4-H Foundation for the Dr. T.D. Tanksley, Jr. Memorial Youth Livestock Project Enhancement, Texas Pork Producers for T.D. Tanksley Scholarship Fund or First Christian Church Building Fund Bertram, Texas.

The Man They call Tank I have never known anyone that was so boisterous, confident, and loud, And when it came to the swine industry in Texas, he was oh so proud.

I would venture to bet that no one has judged more Texas pig shows, He could describe those hogs from the tip of their tail to the end of their nose.

He saw lots of trends from the high cuttin’ extreme lean, long, and tall, Or to the other extreme – short, muscular, fat, functional, but small.

He was not afraid to tell the industry what was going wrong or right, That was his philosophy as he judged shows and explained himself on the mic.

In addition to judging, he was one of the best teachers I have ever known,

He could teach and explain to a businessman from China or to a six-year-old.

For all of us that knew him well, we all agreed he taught with an undying passion, It didn’t matter what it was; swine genetics, nutrition or balancing a feed ration.

To me, he was my granddad which meant he helped us with our show pigs, He would take meticulous and detailed notes to help us try and win big.

When pig season would come around dad would tell us to get no more than two, Of course, me and granddad would bring back four because we just couldn’t choose.

“Don’t worry, Larry. I will cover that belted hog over there in corner.”

“He is the sleeper and by the time of the show, he may be the barn burner.”

by Chris Boleman

However, the bigger competition for him was going for the showmanship win.

He would push me so hard, no excuses he would holler with that granddad grin.

The best advice he ever gave me was “it is not work if it is something you love.”

“Hard work” is what he said would get people ahead in this world, far and above.

Regardless of how little or well you knew him personally; I hope you will agree, Our junior livestock show would not be what it is today without Dr. T.D. Tanksley.

In closing I can confidently say there is certainly one thing you can take to the bank, If you showed hogs in Texas, you were impacted by my granddad, known as “Tank.”

Plan for Herd Health When Starting a Swine Operation Bruce Lawhorn Associate Professor and Extension Swine Veterinarian The Texas A&M University System

H

erd health is a very important consideration for producers starting a swine operation. The health needs of the swine herd vary somewhat depending on the type of operation you choose, but certain disease prevention concepts apply to any swine operation.

The three basic types of swine operations are: •Farrow-to-feeder-pig.

•Farrow-to-finish.

•Feeder-pig finisher.

The first two types maintain breeding animals to produce all the pigs that are either grown to feeder-pig size (40 to 50 pounds) or finished to market weight (220 to 280 pounds).

Some farrowing operations produce both feeder pigs and market-weight swine. Operations that produce show pigs or breeding stock (boars and gilts) fall into either the farrow-to-feeder- pig or the farrow-to-finish category or both.

The third type of operation does not maintain breeding animals; instead, pigs are purchased at feeder weight and finished to market weight for sale. This discussion of herd health concepts applies mainly to farrow-to-feeder- pig and farrow-to-finish operations.

No Herd Is Completely Disease-Free The first herd health concept that must be understood is that totally disease-free swine are simply not available for commercial production. Economically important swine diseases are present in varying degrees in all herds. Many seed stock producers follow a state blood-testing program in which 25 per- cent of the herd is tested quarterly for diseases such as pseudorabies (PRV) and brucellosis. (This is faster and easier than testing each animal before it is sold and moved to a new herd.) Producers then will advertise these herds to be “Qualified PRV-free” and “Validated brucellosis-free.” However, this designation does not mean the animals are free from any other diseases, and it is not even an absolute guarantee that the individual animals you purchase are free from PRV or brucellosis. Tests are not available for all economically important swine diseases.

Many diseases in a herd cannot be detected by visual inspection of the animals. One reason is that individual animals will develop some degree of immunity to the diseases present in the herd. Breeding swine that perform adequately, in spite of the diseases in the herd, should be kept and those that fail to perform should be culled and sent to market. Some diseases produce short-term immunity, and others produce long-lasting or even lifetime immunity. As long as new diseases do not enter a herd, from sources such as new swine, you may experience adequate production with only minor,

30

MAY/JUNE 2011 | THE SHOWBOX

Plan for Herd Health continued

periodic disease outbreaks. Understanding that no herd is completely disease free is the basis for the second herd health concept.

Buy Animals from a Single Source To minimize economic losses from disease, purchase the initial swine in your herd and all replacement animals from only one source. This applies to any type of swine operation. Many economically important swine diseases are much easier to prevent (by never allowing them to enter the herd) than to treat or control. Furthermore, when pigs are exposed to new diseases, they must go through the process of developing immunity. While they do, your operation may experience economic losses varying from growth retardation to the death of some animals. In a herd continually exposed to new diseases, production costs are higher because intensive treatment and prevention practices must be used.

When using the one-source concept, you should consider several factors. First, the source you choose should be able to provide a continuous supply of quality breeding stock.

The source’s obligations or contracts to other producers will affect his or her ability to supply your operation.

Second, make sure that all the animals you purchase from that source come from one farm. Even though breeding stock may be sold under one name, this does not always mean that all animals originate from the same farm. The larger the breeding stock operation, the more likely it is that swine sold under that one name actually come from different herds. Herds in different locations have different levels of immunity to the same and/or different diseasecausing organisms. When swine originating from different farms are brought together at the purchaser’s farm, the animals will go through the process of developing immunity to all the disease-causing organisms represented in the mixed herd. As this occurs, there may be economic losses.

Since one-source purchases may not always be possible, the next-best disease prevention practice is to purchase swine from as few sources as possible. As the number of sources increases, so do the disease risks.

Identify Diseases Present in the Source Herd. After you choose a source for your breeding stock, determine the diseases present in the supplier’s herd(s). Qualified PRV- free and Validated brucellosis-free status indicates that a herd is probably free of these diseases. But you should also discuss with the supplier any other economically important diseases that may be present. Examine and evaluate performance records for the source herd, since poor performance may mean disease problems. Consult a veterinarian with swine expertise for help in interpreting this information. Gather swine health and performance information from the supplier’s previous customers as well, since a breeding stock producer relies on satisfied customers for repeat business.

Manage Replacement Animals to Prevent Disease.

After your swine herd is established, the management of incoming replacement animals is important. If you take no precautions to prevent disease introduction with incoming swine, you are essentially depending on the health practices used by the supplier. Even if the supplier’s animals are healthy at the time you purchase them, they may be exposed to disease during shipment. Ways to minimize disease introduction with purchased breeding swine are discussed in the Texas Agricultural Extension Service publication L-2263, “Isolation Procedures for Farrowing Operations.”

Vaccinate to Prevent Diseases Present in Most Herds A third important concept in managing herd health is that some swine diseases are so common it is impractical to prevent their entry into a herd. Cost-effective vaccines are available to prevent economic losses from many of these diseases. A veterinarian can provide an individualized herd health program for your operation which includes spe- cific vaccination procedures. Texas Agricultural Extension Service publications L-2192, “Vaccines for Farrowing Operations”; L-2193, “Atrophic Rhinitis;” and L-5137, “Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome,” provide more information.

A Word on Feeder-Pig Finishing Operations This discussion has centered on health concepts important to farrow-to-feeder pig and farrow-to-finish operations, both of which purchase breeding swine. The same concepts apply to feeder-pig finishing operations, with some exceptions. You should be aware that feeder pigs will usually not be tested for any disease before purchase unless they originate from out-of-state. It is not as economically feasible to test feeder pigs, since they have less profit potential than breeding swine. Single-source purchases are desirable, but may be less practical than when buying breeding swine. To prevent disease problems, treat feeder pigs purchased from different sources as separate groups; do not mix them together as they are fed out to market weight. Vaccination programs are especially important to prevent disease losses in feeder-pig finishing operations. Texas Agricultural Extension Service publication L-5137, “Porcine Repro- ductive and Respiratory Syndrome,” and infor- mation sheet “Health Program for Purchased Feeder Pigs” discuss these techniques.

Any producer planning to start a swine operation should consider the matter of herd health very carefully. Consult a veterinarian with swine expertise before starting your operation and retain his or her services throughout production. The publications and information sheet mentioned in the text are available through your county Extension agent, the Veterinary Extension office (409)8454353, or the College of Veterinary Medicine, Veterinary Extension Web Site (http://www.cvm.tamu.edu/).

BASIC SHOWLAMB NUTRITION

By Dr. Kevin Burgoon Nutritionist, HONOR Show Chow

F eeding lambs for show involves some basic principles of nutrition. Whether lambs are fed commercially for

market, or diets intended to produce specific physical responses, we must remember that lambs are ruminants.

It is of upmost importance that we maintain rumen health and function. Feeding grain based diets without providing sufficient roughage in the lamb’s diet can lead to unintended consequences.

Simplified, the rumen is where it’s at when we talk showlamb nutrition. If rumen function is impaired, the lamb is usually on a roller coaster ride of feed intake.

Growth and subsequent physical performance suffers, and the lamb cannot express it’s full genetic potential.

At minimum, each lamb should receive a double handful, or about ¼ lbs (4 ounces) of a good quality alfalfa hay per day. Although progressive judges are selecting

36

MAY/JUNE 2011 | THE SHOWBOX

lambs with more base width, rib shape, and deeper fore rib, we still want lambs that are relatively tubular in their design. That means a lamb with an excessive middle usually will not be placed high in class.

Poor quality forage passes slowly through the digestive tract of the lamb. So, feeding a low or moderate quality roughage source tends to put some middle or a “belly” on lambs. The higher quality alfalfa passes through much faster, maintaining the “tubular” appearance of the lamb, yet meeting the lamb’s fiber requirement.

It is also important to feed a quality alfalfa with a minimum 1 ½ to 2 inches of fiber length. Feeding alfalfa pellets or ground hay does not have the effective NDF needed for rumen health.

You may also notice wool chewing or wool pulling in lambs. The leading cause of this activity in sheep is inadequate fiber length, resulting in insufficient effective

THE SHOWBOX | MAY/JUNE 2011

37

BASIC SHOWLAMB NUTRITION continued

NDF. It is important here to note that feeding a roughage source with 1 ½ to 2 inches of fiber length usually prevents wool biting, chewing or pulling. However, once a lamb begins to pull wool, it usually will not stop. It quickly becomes a habit, and you will need to keep the lambs covered or separated to stop this activity.

Water is also extremely important. Water is directly related to feed intake. The water source needs to be clean, fresh, abundant, and not too hot or cold at all times to ensure proper feed intake and growth performance. Keeping the lamb hydrated at all times will also help prevent the occurrence of urinary calculi. A good showlamb feed will contain ammonium chloride for the prevention of this condition. However, if the lamb is not drinking sufficient water, or you do not hydrate the lamb properly at or after a show, the lamb is at elevated risk of developing urinary calculi.

Showlamb feeds come in various forms and protein content. You might think about feeding a showlamb feed with about 18% crude protein, at least for the initial 45 to 60 days of the feeding period. Showlamb feeds are usually high in crude protein because we are limit feeding very muscular lambs that have much higher daily nutrient requirements.

However, energy is still very important. Energy provides the fuel for growth and every metabolic process. A low energy feed will usually result in poor growth performance and an unsatisfactory outcome to your showlamb project.

Some feeders like to transition to a lower crude protein feed at some point in the feeding period.

This works well as long as the lower protein feed also has an increase in energy content. There is no one precise feeding regimen for every lamb.

Each one is a little different, and the feeding strategy will depend upon what is needed to accomplish in the lamb.

High protein supplements are sometimes useful in either trimming body condition, or increasing the muscling of the lamb. The amount to be fed will depend upon the product, and again what is needed to be accomplished in the lamb.

The daily feed amount will again depend upon the lamb, it’s size, age, and the nutrient content of the feed. However, feeding at 3 to 4% of the lamb’s bodyweight is sufficient.

It is always a good idea to feed a medicated feed to lambs. Coccidiosis is usually the lamb’s biggest immune challenge.

38

MAY/JUNE 2011 | THE SHOWBOX

It is also important to note what a good showlamb feed will and will not do. A good showlamb feed will: • Maintain a consistent feed intake (as long as water and roughage are not an issue) • Result in adequate growth and development of the lamb • Result in a good physical appearance of the lamb (skin, hair, and wool) • Result in proper conditioning of the lamb • Result in the lamb expressing it’s genetic potential • Contain ammonium chloride in order to prevent urinary calculi A good showlamb feed will NOT: • Create more bone • Make the lamb longer • Increase base width • Increase the length of the lamb’s neck • Increase length of loin • Increase length of hindsaddle • Strengthen a weak topped lamb (broken behind the shoulders) In other words, you will need to select a quality lamb with the genetic potential to respond to good nutrition; genetic potential that results in a fairly heavily muscled lamb. After all, we are feeding and showing market lambs. A market animal needs to exhibit muscle. A poorly muscled lamb will normally find its way to the bottom of most classes. If you select a lamb that has inferior muscling, the greatest feed money can buy is not going to result in producing adequate muscle.

Build a relationship with the breeder of your choice. They will be more than happy to assist you. You can be assured they want their lambs to perform their best for you.

It is a good idea to feed more than one lamb.

Sheep are herding or flocking type creatures, and two lambs do much better than one by itself.

Lambs eat and perform much better when a companion or pen mate is present. A consistent exercise program is essential to the success of your showlamb project and to obtain the maximum response between the nutrition – genetic potential interaction. The extent and duration of the exercise will depend on what is required to accomplish in the lamb. However, exercising the lamb 3 to 4 times per week should be sufficient.

Good luck with your showlamb project.

Remember that if you need help, do not be afraid to ask. Breeders and more experienced exhibitors are an excellent source of information and knowledge.

Cattle Stalling No Exceptions. Must follow procedure!

Stalling Done on A First Entered- First Stalled Basis Stalling is one of the most labor intensive functions at the Belt Buckle Bonanza. We can only accommodate exhibitors if we can have a clear understanding of their stalling requests.

Any stalling request must be accompanied by entries from everyone in the group that wishes to stall together. We will strictly adhere to this policy. It is impossible to stall individuals together who enter separately and at different times. If you wish to stall a particular place in the barn submit your entries early. The earlier an entry is submitted, the more likely your request will be fulfilled.

Guidelines: 1. Any group wishing to stall together must send all of their entries in at one time and together. A cover letter should list the exhibitors who wish to stall together and the number of animals that each exhibitor has entered and any other information which you consider pertinent.

2. Entries sent in separately will be stalled separately.

3. Exhibitors who are requesting certain spots in the barn should include a letter with their entries explaining where they wish to be stalled and a diagram which shows the approximate place in the barn.

4. If you are an exhibitor who is stalling outside so that you might use fans directly behind your cattle, please let us know.

5. If you are a purchaser of one of the Five Star Camper spots, you will be given a hang THE SHOWBOX | MAY/JUNE 2011

tag and you will explain this to the representative from the HOT Fair complex when you stop to pay for your camper spots.

Five Star Camper Accommodations There are 35 camper spots with water and electricity and grass that are conveniently located in a grassy area in back of and to the side of the swine barn. The TJLA will sell the right to utilize one of those prime spots on a first come/ first serve basis from the office.

Each of the 35 prime trailer spots will be assessed a sur-charge of $100.00 per camper spot. This is a one time fee that is paid for the entire length of the show. It is not a daily fee.

This does not relieve the person who pays the surcharge of the responsibility to pay the daily rental on camper spaces to the Heart O Texas Fair Complex. Everyone wishing to rent a camper space during the Fall Classic must pay the HOT Fair Complex their rental fee. If you wish to purchase a one of the 35 prime spaces, you may pay the $100.00 to the association. This reserves your space.

The first day for sending in money for these spaces is May 1, 2010. We will take reservations for those spots from May 1 until they are all filled. There will be still be plenty of other camper spaces available in other parts of the facility; The HOT Fair Complex has more than 300 camper spaces all over the fairgrounds.

They are rented from the HOT Fair Complex upon arrival for the show. There will be no reservations for these other spots. They are purchased on a first come/first served basis.

Requests for the Five Star Camper spots may be made by sending in the name of the person who wishes to reserve the spot, the number of spots that they wish to reserve and be accompanied by a check for $100.00 per spot reserved. These requests should be mailed to the TJLA, P.O. Box 1088, Crockett, Texas 75835. Credit cards will be accepted.

If a tie still exists, the winner shall be determined according to ranking scores within divisions of the pageant competition in this order: 1. Final Interview 2. Preliminary Interview 3. Speech 4.

LIVESTOCK JUDGING

The TJLA will award trophy belt buckles for Livestock Judging in three different age divisions of competition. Competition is also divided by age. Junior Livestock Judgers are members who are 8-11 years of age on or before September 1, 2011.

Intermediate Livestock Judgers are members who are ages 12-14 years of age on or before September 1, 2011. Senior Livestock Judgers are exhibitors who are ages 15 through high school graduation as of September 1, 2011. (b) It is the responsibility of the member to enter in the correct age division. (c) At major livestock shows, the TJLA records placings for points only as far down on the ofďŹ cial TJLA scale as the show records places in livestock judging. For example, if the show does not record a ninth place, then the association will not award a ninth place. (d) The TJLA Belt Buckle Bonanza and the TJLA Fall Classic Livestock Judging Contests will count as double point shows.

If a member would ordinarily earn 100 points in the contest that point total will

automatically be counted as 200. (e) The TJLA will award trophy belt buckles to the TJLA Junior, TJLA Intermediate, and TJLA Senior members accumulating the greatest number of points in livestock judging at sanctioned TJLA Livestock Judging Contests. The following contests will automatically be sanctioned: State Fair of Texas, Fort Worth Stock Show, San Antonio Livestock Show, Houston Livestock Show, TJLA Belt Buckle Bonanza and TJLA Fall Classic. Points will also be awarded at other sanctioned livestock judging contests. (f) The TJLA will award Top Ten jackets in each of the divisions mentioned above provided that a minimum 20 members of the Top Ten have earned points other than participation points. In order to receive a Top Ten Jacket a member must have earned a minimum of 25 points in statewide competition. If there are 15 or less members who have actively received points, there will be a Top Five instead of a Top Ten. (g) Points will be recorded according to the point totals given at each judging contest.

Just Call Me

Calamity

I

Jane

f you are familiar with The Showbox, then you are probably familiar with the fact that my life the past two years has been difficult at best. I lost my son in 2009; my sister suffers from an illness that has forced her into a nursing facility here in Crockett that same year; and in 2010 my husband died. To say that I was eager to wish the year 2010 goodbye is an understatement.

The year 2011 started off extremely well. I have made new friends, enjoyed some new experiences, and generally felt that the parts of life that had reminded me of lemons were now making lemonade. I sailed through the first part of major show season with a smile on my face and a song in my heart. When my children were growing up, I constantly told them that life works in cycles – when we are down, we can be sure that we are going to go up, and when we are up, we can be sure that we are going to go down. I just thought at this particular junction, I was on the upswing.

The first sign that all was not well with the world is when I totaled my car in March. I ran smooth over a Texas Department of Transportation truck that was parked in the right hand lane of a two lane highway. How I did it, I am not sure, but it happened bigger than Dallas. Following this little accident, I somehow found myself on the wrong end of more than one radar gun as one patrolman after the other managed to stop me for speeding.

The fact that I am always in a hurry and late did not make a large difference to them. They gave me a ticket anyway.

I went to Colorado in March with friends, and the altitude threw one of them into congestive heart failure. He ended up having a triple by-pass the next week.

In April I spent a glorious week in California – first for a wedding and then for a visit. Halfway through the trip I came down with bronchitis, and although my traveling partner claimed that I was giving the rest of the group a little relief, I felt terrible, and it took a good three weeks before all signs of the crud were gone.

Toward the end of the month, my stepfather, who married my mother when I was almost eight, passed away. He was a wonderful man who served as a mentor to several people during his life, and I really mourned the passing of this man.

But the piece de resistance of the month came on the evening of April 25th. I was out of town that evening, but since rain has 84

been a scare commodity in East Texas, I called Ryan to see if it was raining in Crockett. “Raining in Crockett,” he asked? We are trying to keep your house from being destroyed. Yes, it is raining, and your front doors have blown completely open and it is pouring in. I have to go!”

At that, the phone went dead, but I was pleased that it was raining. I informed my friends that it was raining and that the doors had blown open. The Houston news channels reported that a tornado had touched down somewhere on Highway 21 near Crockett. It did not phase me.

The next morning I called Pancho to see how the vineyards were. I thought that he seemed a little dazed, but he told me that the grapes had done pretty well. “Miss, there are trees down…. big trees,” he said. I asked him where, and after hearing his side of the conversation I decided that I would need to go check on the trees sometime after I got to the office.

When my cell phone sounded that I had a text message, I expected it to be one of the services to which I subscribe that sends me motivational things each morning. It was not the service – it was Pancho and he was sending a photo that I did not recognize at first. It was of my chimney lying all over my back yard. The pool and veranda furniture and the bar-b-que pits, were a jumbled mess. The patio heater looked like it had been a victim of Hurricane Ike. The satellite dish looked like it had been crushed in a can crusher, and there were wires hanging out from everywhere ... as well as a gaping hole in my roof.

As I jumped in the car, I managed to call the wrong insurance company to report the claim. They informed me that John Ben had changed the insurance a few years ago. I called the correct insurance company, and the insurance agent said, “Well, really? I heard that a tornado had touched down on 21 west of town.”

“Well, “I replied, “If anyone wants to know where, you can now tell them. It was at my house.” “I will sure do that,” he said.

As of today, I still have no television, no internet and no telephone. My chimney is still in the yard along with lots of wire.

Two air-conditioning units and part of my pool equipment were fried by lightening, and my pasture looks like a war zone. I did get my roof patched – which was a good thing since it rained two more inches the next night. I feel like Calamity Jane, but I have to look on the bright side. We did get some rain!

Braford Division to be Included in 2011-2012 TJLA Heifer Competition The Braford Heifer Division will be a part of the 2011-2012 TJLA heifer divisions according to Cherie Carrabba, Executive Director of the TJLA. “The Brafords failed to meet their minimum number of participants for the past three years,” Mrs. Carrabba noted, and they were scheduled to be eliminated from competition, but Braford breeders have paid for the division to remain a part of the association.

“Darrell Dennison of the Texas Braford Association was instrumental in getting this division sponsored again this year,” Mrs. Carrabba stated. We appreciate all of his efforts as well as the efforts of the other Braford breeders to make sure that junior exhibitors have an opportunity to exhibit Braford cattle in the Texas Junior Livestock Association.

The Braford Division was sponsored for three years according to Mrs. Carrabba. They will definitely have a division in 2010-2011, 20112012, and 2012-2013. At that time if they meet the minimum number of participants (twenty in the standings that have actually earned points) they will be a part of the association the next year and for as long as they meet those requirements.

“We are very happy to have the Braford division as a part of our awards program again this year,” Mrs. Carrabba concluded.

“The National Junior Angus Show brings Angus juniors and families together every summer to compete and celebrate their Angus passion. This year we’ll also be celebrating our American heritage,” says Robin Ruff, junior activities director for the American Angus Association® headquartered in Saint Joseph, Mo. “For them, this event represents so much more than a cattle show. It’s a place where Angus youth build life skills, leadership qualities and long-lasting friendships.”

Judges for the more than 900 head of cattle expected to compete in the showring have been confirmed. Ernie Wallace, Stotts City, Mo., will select champions in the owned heifer division. Judging bred-and-owned females, bulls and cow-calf pairs will be Alan Miller, Gridley, Ill. Steers will be evaluated by Mark Johnson, Orlando, Oklahoma. States will compete for the Best Five Head, while individual members will vie for Junior Premier Breeder and Junior Herdsman. A carcass steer contest will also take place.

Junior members will compete in the 45th Annual National Junior Angus Showmanship Contest. Sam Carter, Julesburg, Colo.; John Toledo, Visalia, Calif.; and John Grimes, Hillsboro, Ohio, will evaluate two contestants from each state as they strive for the national showmanship title.

In addition, hundreds of junior members will participate in more than a dozen educational contests. Individual contests include prepared and extemporaneous public speaking, graphic design, writing, photography, livestock judging, career development and poster categories. State teams will compete in the quiz bowl, team sales, and fitting contests as well as the American Angus Auxiliary-sponsored All-American Certified Angus Beef ® (CAB) Cook-Off. Two delegates from each state will gather at the annual meeting of the National Junior Angus Association (NJAA) to review the organization’s bylaws and elect six new directors to the NJAA Board. The new directors and officers will be announced during the awards program at the conclusion of the week.

The Angus Foundation and American Angus Auxiliary also will award numerous scholarships to deserving college students throughout the week.

The cattle ownership and postmark entry deadline for the NJAS is June 1; no exceptions will be made. Contest entry deadlines and further information about the NJAS are available at www.njas.info or by contacting the Junior Activities Department at 816-383-5100.
