SHARING The Bounty We have always relied on stout, growthy, high-performing sires to produce the kind of herd bulls our customers demand.

The PUREBRED Limousin bulls we have for sale are all black and all polled (most are homozygous), and feature the traits our customers deem important—thickness, growth, maternal, docility and longevity. Many of the bulls we have for sale are by our AI-quality herd bulls, AUTO Real Deal, AUTO Black Coffee, SSTO After Dark, CODY Commander, AUTO Lone Ranger, BGRT Austin and other powerful herd sires.

Whether you are breeding Limousin, Lim-Flex or commercial cattle, plan a visit to Allison, Texas, where we would appreciate the opportunity to Share Our Bounty.

TEXAS LIMOUSIN ASSOCIATION BENEFIT AUCTION

A LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY Fellow Members and Friends, As I write this letter for the TLA News a couple of cliches come to mind, “time flies when you’re having fun” and “all things must come to an end.” I began this journey as a board member in 1997, after two terms on the board I accepted the position of Executive Secretary in 2004, and now the time has come for change.

I will forever be grateful for the opportunity to work with so many dedicated breeders and this great breed of cattle. I never dreamed when I became involved with the TLA that I would learn to publish a magazine, manage consignment sales, announce at shows, learn Quik Books and emcee banquets. But with a lot of help from good people, I managed to get it done.

Along the way I made several mistakes, and regrettably some of those mistakes caused strife and division among the members.

I can truthfully say every decision I made was to help members successfully market their cattle and to treat everyone the same.

I believe there is great opportunity for members of the TLA going forward. With a fresh approach and leadership from the Board of Directors the best is yet to come.

I will continue to be a member of the TLA and support its endeavors.

Thank You All!

Sincerely,

Ralph
