Letter from the

President IT’s ALL IN THE NAME Records show that the ITLA membership is up almost 10 % over this time a year ago with members coming from all over the world. The ITLA is making nice strides by continually offering premier services to those who have an affection for Longhorns no matter where they reside.

The naming of the ITLA was well thought out by our forefathers when we were formed almost 3 decades ago. In 1990 intelligent individuals knew that including “International” in the ITLA’s name would show the world that we do not draw lines and that our association is open to everyone.

At their 2019 Annual General Meeting, the Alberta Texas Longhorn Association unanimously voted to request affiliation with the ITLA. The ITLA Board of Directors unanimously approved this request by our friends in Alberta and we welcome our newest affiliate. The Alberta Texas Longhorn Association is a very progressive group that is family friendly hosting field days, shows, sales, and has recently brought forth a newly formed youth group.

The ITLA name assures that we have no boundary or limits for the member services we provide which make it of no consequence how great the distance is from the headquarters in Glen Rose, Texas. What is of consequence is that when you stay on course and take the good path the Longhorn world comes calling.

Gordon Musgrove

Region 1 Term: 2020 Patricia, AB 403-363-1729 onetreeranch@gmail.com

Gordon Musgrove has been in the cattle industry all his life, raising mostly commercial Herefords and crosses. He also ran a small band of registered quarter horses. He and his wife Charlene sold out the cattle herd in 2008 – their attempt to semi-retire but it didn’t take ...... with a few head left over and the start of their Longhorn herd in 2007. A little story about the beginning of their Longhorn herd: His Aunt and Uncle had been raising Longhorns for many years. They sold out, retired and moved to the city. They came to Gordon and Charlene’s farm for a summer visit and asked if they could take them to a “Longhorn Pedigree picnic” about an hour away. There was a fundraiser raffle and Gordon’s aunt won the heifer! Within a few months and a few sales, they were in the Longhorn business. They now run a herd of Registered Texas Longhorns. They currently sell bulls to ranchers, heifers to purebred producers in the 3 Western Provinces and meat to the general public. They have shown their Longhorns at the Canadian National Texas Longhorn shows in Red Deer, AB, at Agribition in Regina SK, and with the NILE in Billings, MT.

Besides their Longhorns they have an active Auction Company (including online) which does everything from Consignment Auctions, Farm Auctions, Specialty Livestock Auctions. They have three grown children and three Grandkids, they are spread all over, Erin lives in Leduc, Alberta with two of their grandchildren, Jeff in Beavermines, Alberta with their other grandchild, and Kari in San Francisco, California.

Gordon was fortunate enough to become an ITLA Director in the summer of 2015. They enjoy their Longhorn Cattle, the people in the Longhorn industry, and the many places their Longhorn adventures take them.

Region II

Dan Grove is the ITLA Region 2 director. He and his wife own and operate Grove Cattle Company out of Bailey, NC. They maintain a herd of approximately 50 Longhorns. Their program centers on raising breeding stock animals and getting new people involved in the breed. Over the years they have shown cattle, been active with youth taking 7 youth to World Show and earning back to back All Age Female titles. They have been successful in futurities and at sales.

They partner on bulls to live cover their cows, but also utilize AI and ET to help push their program.

Although his term is up this year, he has enjoyed serving ITLA.

“Our association is stronger when we all work together.”

Region III Dick Lowe

In 1993, Dick Lowe bought the neighbors farm, then came the decision of what to do with it. They checked into Llamas, Emus, Ostriches and Cattle. The only exception that Peg had was, no horns! He ran across an article about the comeback of the Texas Longhorn, did some checking and got excited.

They visited a ranch with longhorns and fell in love. They purchased their first 12 longhorns the summer of 1997. Then had to build some fences to keep them in. They took delivery in November 1997.

They are working with a blend of the Seven Families to produce cattle with size, conformation, color, gentleness and lots and lots of horn. Being from Michigan they have real good grass in the summer and bailage hay and corn silage in the winter months. He and Peg love the cattle and spring is the best time of year when the new calves are hitting the ground.

Region 3 Term: 2020 Horton, MI 517-688-3030 info@rrrlonghorns.com

Region IV John Nelson

John and Darlene bought their first Texas Longhorn cattle almost exactly 20 years ago. They had decided to start a small ranch. John’s grandmother had moved to Minnesota from Sweden in about 1910. In 1920 they bought a farm and the previous two owners were Mr. Clover and Mr. Bluhm.

They named their farm Cloverbloom farm after the two previous owners. It was only natural that they should name their ranch that. John spent a good part of his life milking cows on the farm and always liked cows. So when they moved out of town it was a given that they would have cows. A friend got them interested in Texas Longhorn cattle. He gave their name to Darol Dickinson and that sealed it.

After buying their first few cows, they decided to start a good AI program and concentrate on really good cattle. They bought semen from Bulls such as Hunt’s Command Respect, Respect Me, Top Caliber, Cowboy Chex, Rowdy HR and others. One of their best bulls was out of Cowboy Casanova.

They named him Caballero Don Juan (get it?). Their cattle have taken top honors at the Heart of the Rockies show and the National Western Texas Longhorn Show in Denver.

Region 4 Term: 2021 Wellington, CO John and Darlene hail from the Midwest. John was a professor of Civil Engineering at Colorado State 970-897-2441 jnelson@enganalytics.com University from 1968 to 2007. In 2008 he started an engineering consulting company along with three

other partners. He still works there part-time, but is “in transition” to retirement. John and Darlene are both quite active in the National Western Texas Longhorn Show which is part of the National Western Stock Show in Denver. They also are active in the Mountain States Texas Longhorn Association the local affiliate of the ITLA.

Youth Director Howdy!

Spring is in the air, so you know what that means, right? It’s time for Spring ITLA shows and events like the CTTLA show, in McKinney, TX. that will be held on April 26th – 28th, 2019. They will be giving away two youth steers that were generously donated by John & Christy Randolph. You can contact the CTTLA President, Danielle Mershon, at danielle@whistlingtxlonghorns.com for more information or simply follow the CTTLA and ITLA Youth pages on Facebook to stay up to date on all the youth and show activities.

Want to join in on the ITLA fun? It’s easy and very cost effective. Simply go online to www.ITLA.com and fill out a membership form. Youth is only $15.00 annually and adults/ranches are only $60.00. We are working hard to bring you more exciting events and shows, so, what are you waiting for? Come join all the ITLA fun.

Have you heard all the buzz about the miniature longhorn breeders joining the ITLA? You’ve heard right! The ITLA now accepts miniature longhorns in the registry and at our shows. We are in the process of ironing out all of the details, but we are working on having the minis become part of the ITLA Youth in their very own mini youth show, so the exhibitors can be rewarded the same as our standard longhorn youth showman. We have welcomed multiple new mini members and assisted them in registering their mini herds. More details on how the mini shows will be arranged is coming soon.

We would like to recognize any hard working ITLA youth in each addition of the Longhorn Drover. If you would like to nominate a youth that you feel exhibits hard work, sportsmanship, work ethics, or simply just always goes above and beyond to help others in or out of the show barn, you can nominate them by emailing me at Rafter-M-Ranch@hughes.net with the youth’s information.

See you all down the trail!

Selecting a Brood Cow By: Kacie Ging

In order to succeed with a Texas Longhorn breeding program, it is important to know and understand the ideal qualities of a longhorn brood cow. Different breeders will value different traits, so it is important to consider which traits would best fit in with their program.

A brood cow is cow that is utilized for calf production. As with all aspects of ranching, selecting a quality brood cow will depend on what the breeder is wanting to produce.

“I believe that any successful breeding operation starts with a plan and the selection of cattle that will accomplish the end goals that you have set,” says Lana Hightower of G&L Cattle Company. “You can breed for the show circuit, futurities, horn competitions, ropers, a lean beef program, cross breeds, trophy steers, miniatures or just yard art for your own enjoyment.”

No matter what the breeder’s decision, it is important to understand

the proper structure of a Texas Longhorn.

“In terms of conformation, a good brood cow has depth of body and plenty of room between hooks to pins,” says Felix Serna of El Coyote Ranch. “She is also feminine with length of body, and good feet and legs that allow her to travel well.”

The Texas Longhorn is known for its calving ease, which comes from the adaptation of its hooks and pins bones. The hook bones are the large “hip-looking” bones, and the pins are the bones located just under the tail head of a cow.

OL Winstar (Win Win x OL Super Star) John Oliver, Oliver Longhorns

John Oliver of Oliver Longhorns says there needs to be length and slope between the hook and pin bones. This width and slope allow for the cow to give birth with ease.

When examining a potential brood cow, Hightower also recommends considering bone mass. A higher bone and body mass will likely lead to the cow producing a herd sire as opposed to a roper.

The structure of a cow can also affect how long a cow is producing.

“Structurally correct and productive animals remain in the herd longer and have a larger number of offspring saved for replacements,” says Hightower.

Serna and Hightower both recommend looking into a cow’s genetics for structural clues as well.

If a cow’s pedigree reflects several generations of quality producing females, then it is likely that she will also be a quality producer.

Mothers with proper udder and milk production are important development will be able to feed traits that directly impact a cow’s and grow their calves into strong, ability to produce calves. producing adults.

To determine whether or not a cow has good udder, Hightower recommends evaluating your cows right after calving because the udder is full making it possible to detect any problems.

Iron Hot Fireball (Drag Iron x Hot to Trot SS) John Oliver, Oliver Longhorns

Beyond bone structure and udder development, brood cow traits are subject to the breeder’s goals. One of these traits is length of horn.

“Horn is a very important factor if your plan is to raise purebred, registered Texas Longhorns,” says Oliver.

Serna, on the other hand, believes horn to be an added bonus in a brood cow, but believes the genetics of a cow are most important. If a cow has horn reflected in her genetics, then she will produce good horn says Serna. He warns breeders against breeding for a single trait.

Another trait to consider is disposition. The behavior of a cow can influence an entire herd.

“For a cow to remain in my herd, she must have a gentle and workable disposition,” says Hightower. “If she is nervous or aggressive, she can pass those traits on to the rest of the herd or her offspring. Life is too short to tolerate bad behavior!”

When selecting a brood cow, it is just as important to know which traits to avoid as it is which to select. Certain traits can be passed down that negatively affect a herd and damage a breeder’s production rate.

G&L Maid of Iron (Drag Iron x G&L Spellbound)Lana Hightower, G&L Cattle Company

Serna says heifers with serious structural abnormalities should

CK Rubies and Pearls (CK Obediah x CK Miss Tabasco) John Oliver, Oliver Longhorns be avoided. Fine boned cattle tend to struggle with age. The shape and placement of bones can also affect the general health of the cow.

“Consider tail head placement, if it is too far forward you may run into breeding problems and may have to fight more infections of the urinary tract,” says Serna.

Serna also warns against too much slope from the hooks to pins, as extreme slope is considered unfavorable. He also says to avoid females with too short of a neck because it may be a sign of future mobility issues.

Texas Longhorn cattle are an extremely versatile breed.

Their ability to thrive in different, often harsh climates, makes them an ideal breed for

any program, even beyond longhorns. Longhorn brood cows should be considered by all breeders looking to enhance their programs, no matter what breed they primarily raise.

“Texas Longhorn cows are adaptable, hardy and fertile,” says Oliver. “They have very few calving problems and are very protective mothers. They also cross well with other beef breeds and can produce until their late teens.”

Serna says that longhorn brood cows should be considered beyond the Texas Longhorn breed because they produce more with less input. They can benefit the beef industry as they are known to produce good, quality carcasses.

Selecting a brood cow inevitably comes down to what it is the breeder wants to produce. Bone structure and udder development will be important no matter the end goal, but once those traits are established, breeders can begin looking for less vital traits such as horn and disposition.

“The original Texas Longhorns came to us through natural selection and that selection has brought us cattle that are efficient with regular calving ease and longevity,” says Hightower. “I know of no other breed that offers the diversity within itself for a breeder to choose what program they want to develop.”

Education with a Twist

It is always great to see what breeders are doing to represent the breed beyond the industry. DBS Longhorns owner and Nimitz Elementary parent, Vern Stahl promotes the Texas Longhorn by teaching Nimitz Elementary school kindergarteners about the breed in a hands on and fun environment at the school’s annual Texas Day event.

Texas Day is an annual event that the Nimitz Elementary School Kindergarten students participate in. Students spend the week studying Texas symbols and Texas history. On Texas Day, the students get to participate in traditional Texas dances, listen to some music that was played on the trail rides and by Native Americans in Texas, play with some toys that were native to the area, and taste “pan de campo” and peach cobbler that was cooked in a traditional Dutch oven over a campfire. The students also listen to Coach Fifer. Coach Fifer is a retired history teacher and currently a Texas Folklore Entertainer. Coach Fifer is local to Kerrville and shares many exciting stories that have been passed down from generation to generation about the cattle drives that originated out of the Kerrville area, the Comancheria, and the historic YO Ranch started by Charles Schreiner, four generations ago. The students love Coach Fifer and his cool old stories about Texas.

The highlight for the students is getting to meet Texas Longhorn cattle. Vern Stahl, a Nimitz parent and owner of DBS Longhorns in Kerrville Texas, brings some of their show string to school. He talks to the students about the history of the Texas longhorn, the fundamentals of why cattle are branded, and holds a question and

answer time about Texas Longhorn cattle today. The students have many great questions, such as; “Do only the boy cows have horns?”, “Does the brand hurt them?”, “What do the cows eat?”, “How big does the bulls and cows horns grow?”, “What is the ring for in a bull’s nose?”, and “are they mean?”

After the lesson on the Texas Longhorn, the students are introduced to the show string calves. The calves that were brought to Nimitz this year belong to Christian Stahl (13-year-old), Joseph Stahl (7-yearold), and Levi Stahl (5-Year-old). Levi is currently in kindergarten, so he was able to help show off his Texas Longhorn calves to his classmates and answer their questions.

DBS Presents & Candy Canes is a one year old red and white heifer that the boys call Candy. She goes everywhere that Chewey goes and is often sniffing at Christians pocket looking for a snack or to get some attention. Candy is a friendly little heifer that was very curious and wanted to follow the students around as they toured the different exhibits of Texas Day.

The Three Calves are: DBS Chewbaca, a two-year-old brindle steer that has won at many shows in Texas and earned Christian his first buckle.

Chewey, as he is called by the boys, is more of a friend and pet to the boys than most

people’s dogs are. Chewey loves spending time with the boys and is great in the showring with them. Chewey was the lead ambassador at Texas Day and let all the students pet him and he licked many of them in return.

DBS Clearly A Boomerang is the youngest on the show string. She is a 6-month-old black and white heifer that is currently being halter trained.

She has only been on the show string for about 3 weeks, so the boys haven’t settled on a nickname for her yet.

facebook highlight Larry N Toni Stegemoller March 2, 2019

We have always known that our BL Sage Hen is a very smart cow. She has been difficult to pen for working. Not wild in any sense, just seems to always know what’s coming before the rest of the herd and will take her calf and walk away, regardless of what the rest of the herd is doing. This morning she showed us how smart she really is. Last night we noticed she had a stick lodged in her hoof. You could tell it was painful as she limped and wasn’t moving around much. It was almost dark and she was in a pasture that is not close to the pen and chute, so we decided to wait til morning and check her. This morning first thing, she hobbled in to the pen with the rest of the herd, for cubes. We could see the stick still lodged tightly in the hoof. So we decided we had to do something before it developed in to a major problem. Then an amazing thing happened, she walked calmly into the lane leading to our chute. We walked quietly behind just to make sure she went the right direction. Not another animal, except her baby with her... She went in to the chute, we squeezed her a little for stability and then Larry pulled out the stick with pliers. Then off they went. We love our Sage Hen!

began talking to them about it on a more serious note. By the time it was over, we made plans to go see what they had to offer, and I couldn’t quit talking about how excited I was. I ended up buying my first bull from them and it was all down hill from there.

My entire family is excited about our new adventure.

Hunter Wilhite Hollingsworth

My name is Hunter (Wilhite) Hollingsworth, I am 17 years old and I live In Hico, TX. I am currently a sophomore in high school and my passion is FFA. I have always enjoyed being outside, showing pigs, AG mechanics, CDE’s and LDE’s.

My parents have known Rick and Cori Garcia for years (my dad went to school with Cori and her sister) and they had put the idea of showing Longhorns in our heads several times. However, my parents raise beef cows and knew nothing about it so I continued showing pigs. While we were in San Antonio this past year showing, my parents and I went to see Rick and Cori over in the cattle barn. We all felt so much more relaxed and comfortable over there so we

I joined the TLBAA and the ITLA in February of this year and can’t wait to see what the next two years have to offer. I think Longhorns are such intriguing animals and it’s so interesting to see how fast they change.

I had the privilege to go to Austin on March 16th and show a heifer in the open show for them and placed second in that class. I had the best day and learned so much. Everyone was so nice and was more than happy to help and mentor me.

I can’t wait to start training my new bull Sully and see what our future holds.

futurities

A futurity is a competition in which cattle are presented one at a time before a panel of five judges. The judges will have a range of numbers from which they will select their score for the animal. For example, average cattle will receive a number score from somewhere in the middle of the range, while excellent cattle receive a score on the higher end of the range. The judges then submit their scores.

Both the highest and lowest scores are dropped. The remaining three scores are added together. The calf with the highest score wins.

What futurities does ITLA have to offer?

ITLA Futurity

The ITLA Futurity is special because it occurs just two days before the All Star Futurity, and is the last chance to qualify for the International All Star Futurity.

International All Star Futurity The International All Star Futurity is a competition of only the best of the best in the breed. To compete in this event you must first qualify by placing first or second at a qualifying futurity. Once qualified, competitors must submit their entry fees. From the entry fee, 70% will be paid back in cash awards. Find a qualifying futurity near you today!

The combined payout for these two futurities was over $21,000!

The weekend of March 14-17, Ohio River Valley Texas Longhorn Association had a booth set up the Ohio Beef Expo in Columbus, Ohio. The Ohio Beef Expo is the premier event for Ohio’s beef industry, attracting over 30,000 participants from 25 states and Canada each year. The Expo includes breed sales, shows and displays, educational events, a highly competitive junior show and a trade show with over 140 exhibitors. The Beef Expo ranks annually as one of the top five largest conventions in central Ohio. Andy Dunmire, Jeff Morris and Ed Callan were all very instrumental

in getting the booth ready for the show.

Amber Neuman, Linda Callan and Amber Dunmire also helped set up the booth and work the event. We were able to make some good connections and chat with many people about the longhorn breed.

We had a video showcasing longhorns along with the ITLA pamphlet and an Ohio breeders list. We also had a longhorn mount to take pictures with, which was a huge hit with the kids. It was a great weekend to chat with farmers and ranchers of other breeds about our cattle and their benefits.

Canadian Texas Longhorn Association The current Board of Directors recently agreed to postpone the Spring Select Sale from April 13th to June 1st after reviewing comments from members and everyone going through a very difficult winter. The consignment deadline is now April 20th, entry forms can be found on the CTLA website. That day will also include the CTLA Annual Meeting and the Spring Yearling Heifer Jackpot. Money and prizes up for the final four of the Heifer Jackpot and the beautiful buckle to the overall winner, is sponsored by Hy Pro Feeds. Hope to see you there.

Bring on Spring with new calves, blue skies, green grass, and our Spring Fling Show held at Myers Park and Event Center in McKinney, TX on April 27th and 28th!!

Our Spring Show is shaping up to be one of our best events! We will be offering youth, miniature, and open classes!

Mo-Kan Spring Sale Golden Heifer Futurity Buckle the Grand and Res. Grand Champions won.

Janet Eppard. 2019.

There were lots of longhorn cows, calves, bulls, and ropers offered for auction that was registered and commercial longhorns. It started off with the Golden Heifer Futurity on Friday afternoon on March 8, 2019. The judge for the Golden Heifer Futurity was Roger Cole DVM from Marshfield, MO. He arrived just in time to judge the heifers.

After the futurity heifers were judged, the owners of the Mo-Kan barn furnished all of the cattle consigners and buyers a fabulous meal of ribs, sausage, and brisket. It was cooked perfectly. After the meal, the futurity heifers were announced.

Roger Cole DVM, judge for Golden Heifer Futurity. Janet Eppard. 2019.

The next day on Sat., the B.O.T.T.Mo-Kan longhorn auction began. The B.O.T.T. Association has a scholarship called the B.O.T.T., Mo-Kan Sale, and Dr. Joe Graham/ Mi Tierra Ranch Scholarship. They receive donated items and they auction them off and use the money to put back into the scholarship for the next school year.

The 2018 scholarship winners were Dexter Balley and Cody Croxford.

The scholarship donated items sold first, then the registered sale cows sold, the commercial longhorn cows, the ropers were the last to sale. A lot of the registrations from the sale went back to ITLA to be transferred into the new owner’s name. We had 7 new members sign up with ITLA when they transferred their cows. It was a great turnout. The next B.O.T.T. -Mo-Kan sale is Sept. 14, 2019. Be sure to plan on attending and buying some great cows and having a fabulous meal with new and old friends.
