EDITOR’S NOTES TIKTOK, TIKTOK Just when you think there’s not much new to read about, here comes a new way to promote the breed. If you have never heard of the TikTok social media platform, just ask your kids or grandkids about it. We found a Longhorn breeder who takes advantage of the platform to educate and drum up interest in Texas Longhorn Cattle. Turn to pg. 26 to read Jason Hartline’s interview with Brian Firebaugh. Brian is very enthusiastic to educate the world about the benefits of Texas Longhorn cattle and connect buyers and sellers. While you may not enjoy spending time on social media, there are millions who do.

Take advantage of it!

While I love print publications, I am also an advocate for keeping up with new ways to communicate and to market. Just because a platform is popular with youth doesn’t mean it can’t be used to further your message and reach as well.

Education is the key to building your market as well. If you’re simply having conversations with people about buying your Longhorns you may want to shift your approach. Talk to them about the history, the fact that they have such a variety of horn shapes and sizes on both males and females.

Tell them the qualities such as calving ease, mothering ability My favorite day, when the new issue of THE and easy keeping that make you TRAILS comes!!! Thank you Dustin & Heidi love the breed. Make them want Reimer of Sweetwater, OK. to experience all the breed has to offer. Then, nine times out of ten, they will return to you when they decide they want to try owning Texas Longhorns.

Back to Firebaugh’s success on TikTok. It’s worth a foray into the TikTok app or online to see the videos (@cattleguy). They are snippets that dispel myths and misconceptions about the breed, shows interaction with Longhorns and responds to questions asked by those following the videos.

If only a fraction of those following him wind up as Longhorn owners the breed and Longhorn market in general benefit. Educate first, then sell.

Blessings,

Myra Basham

P.S. Don’t forget that having some extra back issues of Trails on hand to give to those who come to look at your cattle is an easy way to help educate as well as keep the spark lit once they leave your property. Everyone likes getting something free.

Association News

Chairman’s Message Longhorn Family, I hope this letter finds y’all in good health. As you know, the show season is winding down for 2021 and I believe there is only one, maybe two shows being pulled off before World Show in June. It has been a crazy year on the show circuit with some shows being cancelled and some being rescheduled at later dates. We are working on getting ready for the World Expo.

The Horn Showcase, this year, back in Fort Worth, is coming up quickly in November, getting entry forms, consignment forms for the sales and advertisements out in hopes of making it the best one yet. These two are the largest events that the TLBAA puts on and your support is needed and will be greatly appreciated in making these happen. Sponsorship packages are available for both and you can contact Pam Robison at the office, or any of the committee members if you would chose to support them.

The Trails has worked hard getting out the May issue. It is the much awaited Brood Cow edition with lots of information for you on your cows. There is an article this month by David Wars on what are some of the important things to look at in a brood cow. Enjoy the reading this month.

Also, in this issue you will find the results of the Legacy Sale and the Texoma Sale. You might say there was some excitement at these two sales.

There is a good article by Julie Pack, one of our past TLBT members, now active member, on some of her first Gold Merit Heifers and the longevity of the breed.

Some of you may have seen on Tik Tok, a young man named Brian Firebaugh, who has been putting out on social media some educational videos on raising and caring for longhorn cattle. He has a short article in this month’s Trails that should be a good read.

Thank you for your continuing faith in the TLBAA. I believe we are headed for great things in this organization for our cattle, our members and our youth, our longhorn family.

Stay healthy, stay safe and have faith.

Thank You,

Keith Du Bose, Chairman of the Board Texas Longhorn Breeders Association of America

Brood Cow or Not? Identifying the great “brood cows” in your herd can often be a hard task for breeders; especially new breeders who Pictured for example is one of our brood cows named Olivia. This cow have invested their hard earned dollars 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 into their first herd of registered cattle.

All cows that produce calves could be swer questions about why cattle in the herd look difconsidered “brood cows” but that does not auferent than they should. Many of these phenotypic or visual Longhorn traits are tied to other equally importomatically mean they are good at what they do. tant traits that are not visible to the eye such as calving If we look at one definition of the word “brood” ease, fertility, disease resistance, longevity and so on. it means a group of young animals. With that in According to the guidelines, a Texas Longhorn brood cow when looking at her starting at the front mind, a great brood cow would be one that we should have a feminine appearance with pronounced would want many or a “brood” of calves from. length from the poll to the muzzle. There should be 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 Official 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 an14 | May 2021

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

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 marketcalf in the herd while maintaining good body condition.

Many Texas young animals.

These will also be the calves interested Longhorns will do this in under twelve months. There buyers wish to purchase when they come to visit. When is much discussion and disagreement about how old a records are kept these will be cattle that are producing heifer should be before exposure to a bull. Some breedreplacements regularly for the herd or bringing in profers prefer to start at 14-15 months to have a calf by two itable cash payments with the sale of their calves. Either years of age and others prefer to wait as long as three way they are adding to the value you receive from the years old before breeding the first time. The main point Texas Longhorn herd.

Texas Longhorns tip with a couple under 60” but year after year they out should also continue to raise calves at a minimum produce themselves with their calves. to well up in their teen years. Many continue to raise That brings us to another component of the brood calves past 20 years old. It is said that the old Miss John cow.

Desirably the top brood cow should be producing Wayne cow from the Milby Butler herd lived and raised calves that are better than or at a minimum as good as calves into her 30’s. That is a remarkable feat and only herself.

Cows that produce subpar calves are a financial 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 Longhorn cows should not only put a calf on the ground every year, they should be attentive mothers and have adapt to their situation a well-made udder with a more than adequate milk supply.

Health

By Heather Smith Thomas

Mastitis In Beef Cows Mastitis (inflammation in one or more quarters of the udder) occurs most commonly in dairy cows but also occurs in beef cows. Mastitis develops if a quarter becomes contaminated – if bacteria enter the teat canal – as when cows calve in dirty areas, or lie in mud and manure after calving. Mastitis may also occur if the udder is bumped and bruised; damaged tissue creates ideal conditions for infection.

A large udder or big quarter that hasn’t been nursed might be easily bruised. If any cow gives a lot of milk at first, her newborn calf may not be able to utilize that much at once. If he is only nursing 2 or 3 quarters, the ones that get huge are vulnerable to mastitis. If a teat is dirty from the cow lying in manure, the calf may refuse to nurse that quarter and it gets large – and more at risk for bruising. If the teat orifice is not tightly closed (as when the large quarter is leaking milk), it may also be at risk for bacteria to enter.

Some cows may also be vulnerable to mastitis at weaning time when the udder is large and full.

When calves are weaned the cows may try to get back to their calves; a big udder may become bruised if the cow does a lot of traveling or runs up and down the fence trying to get back to her calf, or trying to get out of the corral to go find him.

Her full udder can be easily injured and then may become infected.

If infection stays localized in one quarter, mammary tissue in that quarter may be destroyed but the infection is not life-threatening. That quarter may be permanently damaged unless treated; it will dry up, and also be small and dry the next time she calves. If the infection gets into the bloodstream, however, the cow may become sick. She may go off feed and have a fever. Unless treatment is swift and diligent, you may not only lose the quarter or part of the udder; you may also lose the cow.

Dr. Shelie Laflin, retired from Kansas State University and now back on her family ranch, says mastitis due to environmental pathogens occurs now and then in beef cows – from a dirty pen or bedding, or splashes of manure.

Dr. W. Mark Hilton, Purdue University says acute cases sometimes occur soon after calving. One quarter may be hot and swollen. The cow may be sick. “This problem tends to occur in older cows and needs immediate veterinary attention. If it becomes a systemic infection, the cow could die,” he says.

“Predisposing factors include rainy, wet weather 20 | May 2021

EASY MILKING Dairy cows are used to being milked. Beef cattle are not. Yet there are times a person needs to milk a beef cow to obtain colostrum or milk out a quarter with mastitis. The Udderly EZ milker was invented by Buck Wheeler, originally for milking mares. A mare’s small teats can be hard to milk by hand, so this innovative “breast pump” simplifies the task of getting colostrum for a newborn foal, or milking a mare for any reason.

The mare milker was so successful that Wheeler soon created Udderly EZ milkers for sheep, goats, camels, and cattle. Beef cattle producers are now finding it useful--for obtaining colostrum, milking out a cow with mastitis, etc. since it is so much safer and easier than trying to milk the cow by hand, and much more effective. A cow with painful mastitis can be hard to milk safely, even when restrained.

Now there’s the Ultimate EZ Milker, an updated mechanical version connected to a compressor. A person can use this version to milk more than one teat at a time if needed, safely and efficiently. The electric version makes it easier and faster. It has an adjustable suction vacuum and the silicon inserts are tapered and very gentle on the teats. This automatic milker is much quieter than other electric milkers and has longer air tubing. This new version does the same job in half the time, and is gentle enough to use on animals with painful mastitis.

Dr. Richard Phipps, a large animal veterinarian in Banner, Wyoming is also a rancher. “The ranching industry can benefit from this milking tool. Some people might think this would hurt the udder but it actually has less suction and pull than a calf has when suckling, and the pulsation makes it easy on the teat,” he explains.

“The pulsation is in tune with the heartbeat of the cow but also keeps it from being a continuous sucking pressure. A calf does the same thing when suckling, giving intermittent slurps. It’s similar to you sucking on a straw; you can’t suck continuously because you have to stop and breathe. Intermittent sucking action of a calf releases the pressure on the cow’s teat and udder and pulsation on this milker does the same thing,” he says.

If a cow has mastitis and a plugged-up teat, he uses the pump to draw all that junk out, and get that quarter milking again. “This can be handy for any cow with plugged teats at the start of lactation, and not just for mastitis. It is also handy if you are trying to collect

Health - continued from pg. 20 where cows lie in mud and manure or dirty bedding.

It’s less common when cows calve in dry weather, out on clean pasture—not confined in dirty calving areas or in a barn in February,” says Hilton.

“The majority of mastitis cases are subclinical rather than acute, and you likely won’t notice them. These cows generally get better on their own, but might lose the milk production from that quarter. It may get scar tissue and will no longer produce milk. A cow with 3 quarters will give almost as much milk as a cow with 4, because the other 3 compensate.” The calf just nurses more often and this stimulates those quarters to produce more milk.

“If you look at studies that have been done on cows with mastitis, research has shown that the decrease in weaning weights may be anywhere from zero decrease to about 25 pounds, compared with cows that never had mastitis. You may or may not have lower weights on calves from cows that lost just one quarter,” he says.

“Many herds have production records, and when we see a cow that has been a good producer and all of a sudden goes from weaning a calf at herd average to weaning a much smaller calf, we wonder if the calf got sick or the cow had a problem. If she lost milk production because of mastitis, she’ll probably do it again next year and should be culled. On the other hand, if she’s recovered from mastitis is still weaning a good calf, there’s no need to sell her.”

Older cows with large, pendulous udders are most at risk for bruising, injury or damage that might result in mastitis. It’s also harder for her newborn calf to get on a teat. Cattlemen should look closely at udder conformation when making culling decisions or keeping heifers. Don’t keep a heifer from a cow with bad udder structure, or from a bull whose daughters have poor udder quality.

TREATMENT If a beef cow gets mastitis, you can use intra-mammary treatments designed for dairy cows (infusing an antibiotic preparation directly into the teat canal). “The challenging thing is that this requires multiple treatments and it’s not as easy to restrain and treat a beef cow twice daily,” says Laflin. “This is still the treatment of choice, however, along with keeping that quarter empty (milking it out twice a day and then infusing the medication).”

Some infections are much more serious than others and you’ll need help from your veterinarian in treating the cow. “Certain pathogens like Archanobacter pyogenes cause an abscessing mastitis, and often the best strategy is to destroy that quarter and let it drain so it can heal,” she 22 | May 2021

colostrum to save and freeze for emergencies,” he says.

“If a wild heifer doesn’t want to mother her calf, you can put her in the squeeze chute and get all her colostrum and feed it to her calf. The old fashioned way was to rope or restrain the cow and milk what you can out of her by hand, but that’s not very effective.” The cow is stressed and won’t let down her milk and you don’t get as much.

“With this machine, the pulsation helps relax the cow and stimulate milk let-down, like when a calf suckles.

It’s a natural kind of action,” says Phipps. It triggers release of oxytocin in the cow, which relaxes her and stimulates milk let-down.

“On our ranch, if we have a bad udder cow with big teats when she calves, I just put the large teat cups on those big teats and milk them down to where the calf can get on them and take over. Before, we were doing it by hand and it was a lot harder.”

He uses it daily—at home and on client cows. “My wife is the one who uses it all the time on our ranch because she takes care of the cows whenever I’m off doing my veterinary work. When a 100-pound gal can operate this thing to obtain several gallons of milk in a few minutes, this shows how well it works,” he explains.

“It could be a valuable asset for any ranch,” he says.

It is especially useful for milking any uncooperative animal that might be challenging to milk otherwise. says. The cow loses that quarter’s production, but you save the udder.

“Some cows can become severely ill very quickly,” says Hilton. You need to know if it’s just a localized infection or systemic.

“Every producer needs a digital thermometer. You can get an inexpensive one at a grocery store. I tell my clients that if they don’t know the temperature of the animal before they call me to describe symptoms, I’ll tell them to go take the temperature and call me back,” says Hilton.

“I don’t give blanket recommendations for treatment because every case is different. It’s best to call your vet.

Sometimes, when my clients describe the case, I can tell them what to do for it or to just monitor it, or I may tell them I need to take a look. Your veterinarian is the one to make that decision.”

He/she may also make a judgment regarding the type of pathogen involved, by what the milk looks like.

“When you milk out that quarter, you could tell the veterinarian whether the milk is watery or chunky, and what it smells like. From your description the veterinarian might recommend a certain antibiotic,” says Hilton.

Health - continued from pg. 22 Pathogens like E. coli, Klebsiella, etc. can make the cow very sick. “You need to treat immediately with the appropriate antibiotics, because these can be very aggressive pathogens, killing a cow in a matter of about 12 hours,” says Laflin.

If the udder (usually just one quarter) is just hard, hot and/or sore and the cow won’t let the calf suck, she needs treatment with intra-mammary medications.

“This may require keeping her penned up where you can catch and treat her twice a day for several days. At bare minimum she needs treatment daily, but twice a day is better,” she says.

24 | May 2021

If the cow goes off feed, has a fever and is depressed, she’s systemically ill and needs more aggressive intervention. “This may mean putting her on systemic antibiotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication. Some cows become so dehydrated and shocky with this type of infection that we also put them on IV fluids. Cows can become very sick, very quickly, depending on the pathogen involved,” she says.

“Usually the rule of thumb (if you are treating the cow yourself) when she has clumpy milk, or bloody milk, and it doesn’t start to resolve within 12 hours after the first intra-mammary infusion, then that cow should be examined by your veterinarian.

You need to find out what’s going on—whether it’s just mastitis (localized infection) or a more widespread infection. Early intervention could make the difference between her staying in your herd and going on to wean that calf, or having to cull her (if the udder tissue must be amputated), or even losing her.” Early intervention is cheaper, in the long run, and less labor intensive than having an uphill fight to save a cow, or eventually having to amputate part of her udder.

“If you start treatment on Friday morning, by Saturday morning that milk should be looking more normal. If it has not shown any improvement, or is getting worse, or the cow seems sick, call your veterinarian,” says Laflin.

“If the milk starts out bloody and 12 hours later it’s just pink, that’s a definite improvement. You can continue the treatment you’ve been using. But if it’s still bloody or clumpy, consult your vet. If the milk is watery or thin this is a sign that it’s a very aggressive pathogen and the cow needs immediate aggressive treatment. I don’t worry too much about bloody or clumpy milk; you can usually allow the antibiotic more time to work. But if it’s watery, the cow needs more attention,” she explains.

The affected quarter should be milked out as often as possible. If the calf will nurse it, that’s fine, but if she’s kicking him off because the quarter is sore, or he’s not nursing it because it tastes bad, you’ll have to milk it out.

Marketing I’m sure we are all used to, those comments were coming from the existing Longhorn community.

That’s not what I would not call that successful marketing. I found that successful marketing is thousands of views, viewing one short video of a Longhorn, along with hundreds of comments, complimenting me how beautiful they were, but better yet, questions regarding that specific animal or the entire breed.

That was the kind of response I wanted to solicit.

And that’s the exact kind of response I got.

What kind of questions would you get that made you think, “Wow, this is really working!”?

Well, one of the driving questions for me was when various comments said, “Oh, that’s a beautiful bull!” And I said, “No! That’s one of our heifers, believe it or not.”

They said, “Even the females have horns?” And that’s where it started to drive home that we needed to talk a bit of the breed itself. I have paved the road. Now I let the TikTok community steer the wheel and tell me what content they want to see me create. What has transpired from the community since then has been, “okay, now I’m interested. Where do I buy one?”

How has TikTok driven more success for you from the first time someone said, “Where can I buy these?”

The first success was driving a tremendous amount of traffic to our Facebook and Instagram pages. People were asking me, “Where can I buy these Longhorns?” In the beginning, I created a pinned post at the top of my Facebook page that had a detailed list of breeders throughout all the States.

A lot of them were asking me, “Where can I buy one? I live in Colorado”. And so, I started listing breeders that were in Colorado.

They were asking me where they could buy beef in Virginia. And so, I began listing breeders that were in Virginia, but it started to be a thing where every time somebody would ask, “Where can I buy a Longhorn?”, “Where can I buy their beef?”, “Where can I buy their skulls?”, and I would have to drive them directly right over to our Facebook page and then hope that they would find information that they needed to contact the breeder to find what they were looking for.

It was a mess.

Well, I found some people purchased the animals from the breeders, but many did not continue the conversation. So I reached out and asked what could we have done better to help?

What I heard was is, “I’m not interested in talking to 10 different people to find the animal that I wanted. I want to go to one place where I can find what I want.” And so that’s where the inspiration and the idea for Texas Trail Boss came.

Marketing It became the one place where my TikTok audience can find affordable Texas Longhorn cattle, their beef, their hides, their skulls, their horns, education, and the resources for those who wanted to purchase Texas Longhorns and start their journey. TikTok was the pure driver of it.

Where does TikTok fit into your continued plan for Texas Trail Boss and your involvement in Texas Longhorns?

TikTok is going to continue to be a brilliant content platform. I’ve got a vibrant community of followers that show up to my ranch every single day to listen to what

I have to say, to see what it is that I have to show them.

I mean, that’s just incredible. I use TikTok to drive the traffic to Texas Trail Boss. The idea of Texas Trail Boss is simply getting the cattle from the breeders to the buyers.

What would be your advice to get started on a successful Social Media channel?

Press record.

The hardest part is pointing the camera and pressing record. And that is the most significant step.

People are interested in these animals. They’ve seen them in movies. They’ve heard about them in stories. They’ve read about them in history class.

They’re intrigued and being able to drive that content to them can be very fulfilling for your brand.

You just have to hit record.

Why Does a Print Publication Promote Social Media As A Tool?

Trails Magazine’s number one goal is to educate our members, not just on care and selection of Texas Longhorn cattle, but also in how to gain exposure and increase the success of your marketing attempts. We also want to reach the public at large and open their eyes to this awesome breed.

The most effective method for broadcasting your message is to utilize a mix of all available outlets.

A professional industry publication lends credibility to your program. It can also drive new people to your website and social media presence.

Social media such as Facebook, Twitter, TikTok and others can stir up interest while driving traffic to your website. If the social posts relate to your print ads it creates a comprehensive, wide-reaching mix that builds familiarity with your program the more people see it in various places.

While I may buy a car from a lot I haven’t heard of as I drive by, I am more likely to trust the one who has invested time and effort into putting out information about what they have to offer.

Doc, my favorite cow just had twins.

What do I need to WITH JULIE PACK, DVM know?

VET

Congratulations!

Keep an eye on your cow to make sure she cleans out all her afterbirth and is nursing both calves. If you notice membranes hanging out of her vulva or a bad smell at 48-72 hours after birth you should call your local vet right away to make sure she doesn’t have an infection brewing. If it looks like one or the other of the calves is not doing as well as it’s sibling you can consider getting a nurse cow or bottle feeding one of the calves (that’s a whole other conversation though!). Usually, cows do just fine raising two calves, as long as they get enough good quality forage and maybe a little supplemental protein.

If your calves are identical twins, or fraternal twins of the same sex, you should enjoy having a great set of calves come weaning time! If you have a set of mixed sex twins you will need to check the heifer to see if she is a freemartin. There are mechanical or hormone(blood) tests you can perform on these heifers to determine if they are fertile or not. Statistically 70-90% of heifers born twin to a bull will be sterile. Some of these sterile heifers may appear to cycle, but will not be capable of becoming pregnant. Most will not cycle at all. Bulls in a set of mixed twins will be hormonally normal and fertile.

If you’re super into science it is interesting to note that a clone of a freemartin will be hormonally normal and fertile since sharing a blood supply in utero with the bull twin is what causes them to be sterile, not a genetic defect.

Until next time, may your pastures be green and your calves be healthy!

Longhorn Beef Longhorn Meatballs

submitted by Cindy & Robert Schnuriger, Kemah, TX

4 lbs. Champion Longhorn beef, completely thawed 8 slices bread of choice 2% milk 1 med. bell pepper, finely chopped

5-6 stalks celery, finely chopped 1 med. white onion, finely chopped 8 eggs 1 pkg. shredded Italian cheese

Preheat oven to 350°. Arrange bread slices on a baking pan and cover generously with 2% milk. Let bread stand until milk is completely absorbed. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly by hand. For very best results, make certain that all vegetables are very finely chopped. Season with salt and pepper. For serving with spaghetti, prepare golf ball-size meatballs. For an appetizer, prepare a smaller size. Spray no-stick cooking spray on baking sheets. Arrange meatballs on sheets and bake for approximately 22 minutes.

Note: This will vary slightly with each oven. These can easily be made ahead and frozen for future recipes.

Remember that the Longhorn beef will not have any shrinkage in size.

Want To Sell Beef? Break Out The Video!

If you don’t have a smart phone or a webcam, I bet you know someone who does. Why does that matter when you want to sell your Registered Texas Longhorn Beef? Because it is a tool you can use free on social media or at a farmer’s market booth to make a big impact.

Video of meat cooking invokes a more powerful response than a photograph elicits.

But don’t just show a piece of meat being cooked, show them how to prepare it!

One of the biggest complaints seen in the comments under the TLBAA Beef Committee Facebook ads is that someone tried it once and it was tough or dry. Those is-

40 | May 2021

sues are almost always the result of how it was cooked.

If you have a website or a Facebook page, a simple cooking tutorial could go a long way to getting those who are leery to the Longhorn another try. Or, if they have just heard the negative comments, seeing it cooked and the resulting product can dispel some of the fear people have of lean beef’s palatability.

Break out the grill and gets some flames showing as you lay a steak or some burgers on the grill. You can even appeal to the lighter side eating by putting together a salad and laying some freshly grilled steak strips on top.

If you don’t feel comfortable cooking for an audience, then another focus could be to show the clean, healthy and happy environment your animals are living in. Don’t wait until hot summer temps or mid-winter turns everything bleak, get out there this spring while the grass is green and the cattle are slicking up and gets some good footage to be used in promotion at other times.

Take care to make sure you do not film animals that are in poor health, have evidence of injuries past or present, that are on bare dirt or are surrounded by junk in the pasture.

People concerned about how their beef is raised is a large part of your target market.

Shows

By Cori Garcia

2021 Rafter M Round Up Show A Success The 2021 Rafter M Round Up hosted by the Rafter M Ranch was a huge success ! While hosting this event the Rafter M Ranch celebrated 57 years as a family ranch.

We were blessed to be able to pay out $15,225 in cash scholarships, cash premiums, and awards. We had a full show barn of cattle and exhibitors, a free concert by recording artist Mikayla Lane, Cowboy Karaoke to benefit the Neal McCoy East Tx Angel Fund, along with our open halter and youth show. We were able to surprise every single senior at the show with cash scholarships thanks to our generous sponsors and donors.

The new scholarships were named the Deborah Ann Mills Memorial Scholarships and Linda Kaye Memorial Scholarships.

Linda Kaye was the famous sports photographer that took the photo of Nolan Ryan beating up Ventura on the pitchers mound. Her family sponsored 5 scholarships and Rafter M Ranch and our other donors sponsored 5 scholarships.

We added a senior pro youth division for ages 19-21 to encourage our graduated youth to stay involved in the Longhorn industry and still be able to participate in the fun.

The 2022 Rafter M Round Up show is already on the calendar for March 4th - 6th at Circle T Arena & Resort in Hamilton, Tx. From all of us at the Rafter M Ranch thank you for making this event such a huge success!

See you all in 2022 for the next one.

Presidents

Message

Just about every weekend, somewhere in a dusty barn you’ll find a line of Dads with one boot hitched up on a gate talking to the other dads. Watching their kids compete with animal projects that may or may not know much about. My Dad will sometimes ask “Who’s that cow?” Seriously, how does he not know the names of all 30 of our cows?

Sometimes my Dad will say, “Oh, you just showed in that class?” Yah…. he missed it. “Dad, I’m really hungry.” “I’m off to Whataburger! What do you eat there?” C’mon Dad, you seriously don’t remember what I eat there?!?! Off he goes, to get us food. Sometimes, he doesn’t make the cow shows with us at all. He stays home and works….. So that we can “Daddy” Chris & Jacob go to even more cow shows. We’ll get texts throughout the day asking how we placed, September 30, 2021 and how the weekend is going. Dads don’t always get the credit they deserve. They’re definitely not like the show moms…. We all know about those show moms! Dads are cow runners, lunch getters, show stick holders and serve as a calm, silent beacon in the stands and on the sidelines.

There’s a great Brad Paisley song that makes me stop every time I hear it. “He Didn’t Have To Be” I met the man I call my dad when I was five years old He took my mom out to a movie and for once I got to go A few months later I remember lying there in bed I overheard him pop the question and I prayed that she’d say yes And then all of a sudden ah it seemed so strange to me How we went from something’s missing to a family Lookin’ back all I can say about all the things he did for me Is I hope I’m at least half the dad that he didn’t have to be My Dad chose to BE my Dad when I was 8 years old. When I turned 10 we jumped into showing Texas Longhorns. I remember the earlier days, before the farm we currently live on, before the Longhorns consumed our lives, before Dad. I don’t always see him at the shows, standing just outside the ring or hear him cheering for me. He doesn’t have to be.

Even without him there, I know he’s proud of everything we do. Happy Father’s Day to MY Dad. Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads!

Alissa Butler has been showing Longhorns with her family for 3 years now. Anita often shares memories of bringing Alissa home from Russia. In May of 2017, the family officially came together. Anita says, “Russ brings Alissa a feeling of physical and emotional safety, and he understands her in a different way than I do. Alissa had never had a dad or grandpa at all….He was her missing piece.” Russ shares an amazing perspective about growing to love his “Little Girl”. At first, they “couldn’t find anything in common. I was too old to do the skate boarding, soccer, kids sporting things. She couldn’t catch a ball to save her life, so even a game of catch was frustrating. We just struggled to find common ground.” Showing Longhorns has become the common ground for this family. Russ declares, “I’m her biggest fan.”

“ A father is neither an anchor to hold us back nor a sail to take us there, but a guiding light whose love shows us the way.”

2.) What is your favorite Longhorn show and why?

My favoriteLonghorn show is the Longhorn World Expo. Its so fun and you can compete in quiz-bowl, speech, livestock judging and photography.

3.) What is your favorite Longhorn color and pattern? My favorite Longhorn color is blue roan because I have a blue roan steer and there aren’t many of that color.

4.) Where did you earn your first reward? What type of award? I earned my first award with my blue roan steer Cowboy Houdini when he got first in his class at the West Texas Fair and Rodeo in 2017.

5.) What is your funniest TLBT moment? My funniest TBLT moment was at the 2020 TBLT Directors Camp when we were playing Ga-Ga ball and you just had to be there to experience it.

BRAYLIN MILLER

7.) Who has been your biggest influence while showing Longhorns?

My biggest influence has been my parents because they are very supportive and caring.

8.) What have you learned while you have been showing Longhorns that has helped you grow as a person? I have learned about taking care of my longhorns but also about sportsmanship and patience.

9.) What is the best part about being a TLBT? The best part is getting to know all the of awesome people and learning about the breed.

10.) What is your favorite quote? “Hard work beats talent if talent doesn’t work hard.”

11.) What is your favorite ice cream flavor? Mint Chocolate Chip 12.) What would you like your future career to be? I don’t know yet. I like so many things, that it’s hard to narrow it down right now.

13.) If you could make a rule for a day and everyone had to follow it, what would it be? For everyone to be kind each other.

14.) If you could be any superhero who would you be? Why? I don’t know what superhero I would want to be, because I think the average person can be a superhero every day, by being available for a friend, or take care of an animal, or by passing it forward.

NEWS On the Trail...

Local PD Educates Public About Area Longhorns The Lone Peak Police - Utah Facebook page recently featured a post about Dirty Spur Cattle Company’s Horn Showcase award-winnning Longhorns in an effort to educate the public about the animals. They featured photos of his two bronze winners as well as Mike New’s win photo.

The Lone Peak Police - Utah MEET OUR CHAMPION LONGHORNS: ----------------------------------------On the corner of 6000 W Timpanogos Hwy, in Highland there is a herd of Texas Longhorns, owned by the Dirty Spur Cattle Company. Recently, two of the Longhorns won some categories at the Texas Longhorn Breeders Association of America Horn Showcase. Their owner, Mike New, provided the pictures and the information. Let me introduce you: COWBOY FLAIR - He won in all three classes. He is the longest horned, three-year-old bull, in the country. He is the son of the longest horned bull of all time, and has elite genetics. He was 85.5 inches, tip to tip, at 40 months old. There are a bunch of his calves (14) running around the pasture.

GOLDEN ROD - She won in the tip-to-tip competition. She is the longest horned, three-year-old cow, in the country. She will continue to grow and will end up over 90 inches of horn at maturity.

SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - Often citizens see the Longhorns with the heads in-between the barbed wire fence eating grass on the outside edge of the pasture. Citizens call in to dispatch saying the cow is stuck. It isn’t. They are just enjoying the grass on that side (the grass is always greener...) By the way, we still go check.

We have had calls stating the Longhorns are underweight, maybe even starving. Even though you may not be seeing them graze in the field because the field is dry, they are fed grain daily.

If you live nearby the field and like to feed them your grass clippings, please throw the clippings over the fence, into the field. The cows can jump the fence and sometimes this temptation causes us to turn into steer wranglers.

If you have any questions or comments about the Longhorns at the Dirty Spur Cattle Company, give me (Tamra, Animal Control Officer) a call and I’ll find out the answer to your question. The phone number to the police department is 801.756.9800.

Congratulations Dirty Spur on having a couple of champion Longhorns and housing them here in Highland so we can enjoy watching them.

TLBAA Is On The Road Again Rick Fritsche has returned to the road some this year and is manning the association booth at a few Longhorn events. So far this year he has attended the Legacy Sale, Texoma Spring Classic, Blue Ridge Sale and the McCombs Sale. If you missed him there, catch up with him at upcoming events. The booth serves as a place members can get their questions answered about processes and programs, as well as a resource for those prospective new buyers to learn more about the breed and the industry. If you are bringing new folks to the sale, its a great way to let them see how helpful the association can be as they get started. Be sure to go by and say hi if you see him!

Dale Metz, FHR Longhorns, shares a good laugh with TLBAA Registrar and Office Manager Rick Fritsche

AFFILIATE UPDATES “Calving season is like hunting Easter Eggs!” The Upper Midwest is enjoying lots of green grass, sunshine, blue skies and pastures filled with beautiful Longhorn babies. It’s a great time of year, but we can’t GORDON HOWIE slow down… Our August Longhorn Events PRESIDENT demand our attention & planning. To that GKHOWIE@YAHOO.COM end, we have scheduled our next GPTLA meeting for Saturday, June 5th in Rapid City, SD. It will be held at the Rushmore Plaza Holiday Inn at 5:00 pm. Dinner from the menu will be available. It is an open meeting… for members & interested parties. (You don’t have to LIVE in the Upper Midwest to join the GPTLA. We welcome our friends from all across the country to join us as we promote Longhorn Cattle!)

Our featured New Members for this month are Jay & Mary Smith. Their Texas Longhorn journey has just begun. Jay and Mary live in a sea of black and red cows in their ranching neighborhood. Longhorns allow them to stand out with horn & color.

They started big… with a young BULL! He is a Top Hand son, so he brings in some great foundation genetics for their herd.

They have begun adding cows to their herd, and even their daughter, Megen, has caught “Longhorn Fever” (looking for her first cow).

The Smiths are determined to come in with a bang! The GPTLA is excited to have them as part of the Longhorn community!

The 2021 Longhorn Events include several GPTLA sponsored events, as well as events which are not “affiliated” with the GPTLA, but supported by the organization.

August 20: 3rd Annual Regional Horn Measuring Event August 21: 3rd Annual Top Hand Invitational Longhorn Sale

2nd Annual “National Love Your Longhorn Day” 1st Annual “Points Only” World Qualifying Longhorn Show August 22: 6th Annual World Qualifying Longhorn Show Our mission is to promote Longhorn cattle and help breeders buy and build their programs.

When we work together to support each other, it lifts everyone’s boat.

Come visit us in the Upper Midwest, the home of great Longhorns, friendly people, blue skies, fresh air, sunshine… and the fastest growing Longhorn market in the nation!!! Call us any time! Scot O’Bryan, Vice President, GPTLA (605) 344-2263 or Gordon Howie, President, GPTLA (605) 381-3998. We are always happy to help!
