TEXAS LONGHORN TRAILS

EDITOR’S NOTES CENTERFOLD A sincere thank you to those who took the time to fill out the reader survey and making it clear that you love your Trails Magazine. Trails will continue mailing to our U.S. members monthly as a member benefit.

Unfortunately, due to the excessive cost of foreign postage, those in countries outside the U.S. will have to pay an additional fee to get the magazine. There are more details on pg. 11.

Another change to help with budget matters can be seen immediately when you look at this issue. The smaller issues during the year will now be saddle stitched (stapled) instead of perfect bound (flat spine and glued together). The exciting thing about this option is the creation of a true centerfold. A literal poster if you open the staples and pull it out.

This special advertising spot is available any month that we do a saddle stitch issue. We appreciate the Baskins of Aussie Acres taking us up on the chance to be the inaugural center spread. An additional option exists for getting overruns of this spread as well. If any of that interests you, just let me know.

As you can see at the right, the Trails section of the mast is a bit sparse.

For the moment it is just myself and then some contract help with ads and other items. If you’re reading this and thinking you have a knack for creating some killer Longhorn ads, let me know. I am always wanting to have sources to reach out to, especially on large issues.

For the article on embryos this month, I posted a call for participation on Facebook to see who would like to answer some questions on the topic. It worked out well and I will be using that approach more in the future to get a broader range of participation and to have articles more specific to Longhorn breeders. If you’re not friends with me, search Myra Basham and the profile with the Trails logo is my TLBAA Facebook page. I intend to make better use of it. Check it out for upcoming article requests and other items pertaining to Trails.

Things are gearing up for World Show and since it is a month later this year it changes up some things with the Trails editorial calendar. This year the September issue will be the World Show wrap-up as well as the last issue loaded with Horn Showcase information. It will make for a big issue and I hope that both events will have people showcasing their programs for each.

As always, keep the story ideas and the photos coming my way.

Sometimes it takes a bit for them to be used, but I love being able to use our member’s photos as illustrations in articles instead of relying on stock sources. And, we can always use some funny pic for the “Just For Grins” item as well. I hope to hear from some of you soon.

Blessings,

Membership

From The TLBAA Chairman Dear TLBAA Members, I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful spring weather and calving season, two of my favorite times of the year.

Recently, I had the honor of presenting the Fort Worth Herd with a $25,000 donation from the Association during Cowboy Conversations. It was a great evening, and I was proud to have office staff Jayme Guinn and Megan Smith join me in representing the TLBAA. Following the Mayor of Fort Worth on the program provided a valuable opportunity to share more about our Association and highlight our partnership with the Fort Worth Herd as we continue to expand outreach and promote the Texas Longhorn breed.

Just a few days later, we were in Celina, Texas, for the outstanding Fiesta Sale hosted by longtime TLBAA members Rex and Sherese Glendenning. Their hospitality is truly second to none. We were grateful for the opportunity to set up a booth, where Jayme and Megan did an excellent job promoting the Association and offering merchandise.

If you haven’t had the chance to meet them, or myself, I encourage you to stop by and visit us at the Fort Worth Stockyards Sale at the end of the month. We will have a booth there and would be glad to answer any questions. You are also always welcome to stop by the office when you’re in the area to meet the rest of our team.

We continue to review expenses and implement changes to strengthen the financial stability of the Association. I believe the office is doing an excellent job improving efficiency while preparing for the upcoming World Show in July in Abilene, Texas.

This will mark the 38th year of the event, and I’m looking forward to attending. If you are interested in sponsoring the World Show or bidding in the Senior Spotlight Sale, please contact the office for more information.

As you work cattle onto spring grass, please remember that effective July 1, all AI and embryo-born calves must be parent verified. I encourage you to collect DNA tissue samples while cattle are already in the chute to stay ahead of the requirement.

Verified parentage is already proving to add value to animals in the marketplace, and this is an important step forward for our industry. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me or the office.

On a lighter note, I’m curious how many people read this letter each month. The first person who reads this and calls the office will receive one standard registration on me.

As always, I value your input and appreciate your calls, texts, and emails as we continue working to serve the membership.

Sincerely,

TLBAA Chairman of the Board

BOARD OF DIRECTORS MAKE A HARD BUT NECESSARY DECISION FOR THE ASSOCIATION AT ITS APRIL 2026 MEETING! Have you eaten out lately, been to the grocery store or had to fill your ride up with gas? In 2002 a gallon of gas was on national average $1.40 per gallon of regular.

A fast food hamburger in 2002 on national average was $.79 to $.99 and McDonalds Big Mac was $2.35. A gallon of milk in 2002 was on average $2.40 to $2.70 versus over $4.00 a gallon average today.

A dollar ($1.00) in 2002 was equivalent in purchasing power to $1.84 today, May 2026, reflecting 83.55 % cumulative increase in prices over the 24 years. A dollar today only buys 54% of what it did in 2002.

The year 2002 was also the last year that the Association’s membership dues were raised to a record $100.00 until this year. Your board of directors, after hours and hours of heart felt discussions and budget deliberations came to the decision that the Association, unfortunately, could not continue to do the business of the Association at 2002 pricing.

Effective June 30, 2026, your Associations ending fiscal year and general membership year, yearly/ annual membership dues will be increased to $125.00 for the July 1 2026- 2027 membership year and forward. Junior membership dues will not be raised.

This $25.00 increase, while coming at a difficult time for all of us, will help insure the continuation of the Association’s incredible products and services you all have become accustomed to these past years.

Other changes made because of budget issues and costs of services are International members will no longer receive the Trails magazine included in their membership fees. Due to the cost of current International mailing an additional $140.00 USD will be charged to mail the Trail Magazine to International addresses.

International members requesting the magazine should contact the office for payment. Of course, the Trails Magazine continues to be free to read on our TLBAA website.

In an effort to make the payment of your dues easier, you now have the option to renew and make the payment on HORNS. In order to do this, you will log in, go to your account page and click renew. You will then be able to submit the balance due by clicking the “Pay Online Now” button below the balance due or by looking at the ACCOUNT tab.

Thank You For Sharing Your Input in the Trails Magazine Reader Survey There was a strong, positive response to our reader survey and one thing is clear - our members love getting a physical copy of Trails Magazine each month.

There will be some small changes, but our frequency and quality will remain the same - and will continue to be a member benefit for domestic addresses. While we regret that the cost of international postage is so high for the magazine, and, per above, will require international members to pay additional to receive a printed copy, we will gladly share a pdf with those members if they prefer.

As far as our domestic members go, if you choose to only view the magazine online and do not care to receive a physical copy (as a few members said on the survey) then you can notify the office to mark your membership to not receive Trails.

One difference that opens up a new opportunity is smaller issues will be saddle stitched instead of perfect bound. Saddle stitch simply means stapled in pages, while perfect bound is a flat spine with glue holding the book together.

Saddle stitching the smaller issues of Trails allows for a true centerfold - a two page spread that is 1 sheet

of paper the, when you open the staples, can be taken out and used as a poster. We thank the Baskins of Aussie Acres Ranch for purchasing our first offering of this type of ad.

In comments shared with us via the suvery, one big concern was timeliness of the issues. There are steps being taken to not only help avoid delays and streamline processes, but to have contingency plans for when large volumes of creative, social, web and editorial work hit at once.

Another concern was content. Improvement there is connected to timeliness as well, and in the coming months you should start to see the types of editorial that has been missing in the recent past - Longhorn focused topics involving input from those who have experience with Texas Longhorns.

As always, this magazine is for our members and your input is always welcome, whether it is in the form of suggestions or a request to contribute editorial. Send all inquiries and suggestions regarding Trails Magazine to myra@tlbaa.org.

Thank you for your enthusiasm and appreciation of this publication!

The Dollars and Sense of Embryos

While A.I. has become commonplace in the Longhorn world, embryo work has experienced a surge in popularity in recent years. While it seems to make sense when you see high-profile embryos from elite genetics sell for big money at public auction, how does one determine if they should flush a female, and when is the cost of the process worth it?

Conventional Flush (Embryo Transfer – ET) Versus In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Before looking at costs or value, one should understand the differences between the processes of ET and IVF. Currently, the most common embryo method people think of is the conventional flush.

A conventional flush involves hormonal treatment to cause donor cows to superovulate — that is, release multiple eggs at one time. The cow is then artificially inseminated with high-quality semen. After approximately seven days, a special catheter is inserted and the embryos are flushed out. Embryos are graded and then either placed in recipient cows or frozen for later use.

This method works well with reproductively sound cows that are open. The embryos produced are already developed and ready for transfer. If you plan to export to other countries, many already have export protocols in place to accept ET embryos.

Another alternative is IVF, which harvests unfertilized eggs from the donor cow that are then fertilized, cultured, and grown in the lab prior to being 16 | May 2026

placed in a recipient cow. It is minimally invasive and requires no hormones. It requires less semen and is ideal for use with sexed semen or rare/expensive semen. It is also a great alternative for donors with poor embryo recovery when flushing.

Is She Worthy?

While the value of a female can differ from program to program, Dr. Julie Pack, DVM, offers some basic criteria to consider. “In general, females selected for advanced reproductive techniques should be of high genetic value, above-average fertility, and have a calm temperament (due to the increased handling requirements). The decision to increase the number of calves from a female should be based on the genetic contributions she can make for the individual herd and the breed as a whole. Females with undesirable heritable traits (such as wry noses, poor udders, poor feet and legs, and other traits that would limit their productive life in a conventional production setting) should not be used to produce additional embryos.”

Another consideration is capturing genetics as an insurance policy or expanding desired genetics on a bigger scale before they are gone. Dauntless Longhorns owner Ross Suber chooses to use IVF for those reasons and more. “We use IVF typically because we have female genetics that we would like to capture for insurance or simply want more of as an in-herd breeding tool. Also, if we have an older cow and do not have our desired number of sex-specific offspring after

Feature Suber sees the price as a moving target. “We own our recipients, so that is a huge cost savings. We usually use semen we own from our bulls — semen we have already paid collection and storage costs for.”

His list of costs to consider mirrors Pack’s, but he also reminds breeders to consider travel and hauling expenses to the facility. “We have our girls flushed, then have Trans Ova Genetics near us put them in our own cows, and we calve them ourselves,” states Landes.

“This is just a ballpark guess, but about $1,000–1,500 per calf. People who pay someone else to raise the calf in a 6-month calve to wean program, are paying more around $5,000–6,000.”

Is It Worth It? “It is a huge expense if you are unsuccessful and very cost-effective if you succeed — provided you flushed a cow that is valuable or valuable to you,” says Suber. That sums up the core question everyone has to answer for themselves.

Landes has had people question multiple offspring from one female. She explains, “If you have an outstanding cow that produces well, then absolutely flush her. I hear people talk negatively sometimes about having so many calves by one cow, but my thought is I would rather have 10 daughters of the same great cow than 10 mediocre cows with different bloodlines and flaws.”

The return on investment (ROI) varies depending on how many live calves result from either procedure.

Pack says Longhorns can vary greatly when it comes to embryo success rates.

“My experience over the years is that success rates vary wildly in the Longhorn breed. Some of this is due to the animals producers select, and some is intrinsic to the breed. For instance, I routinely have poor success

with well-managed, fertile straight Butler cattle when compared to their blended herd mates. They are highly fertile cows that calve every year and take to A.I. They just will not flush.

“If you have not gotten good success with a female after the second attempt with a different bull, chalk it up to incompatible genetics and move on. Freezing embryos is a great way to preserve genetics and bank female genetics as insurance. Just remember, average numbers are just that — average. Your results may vary. ,“You should also expect to lose 50% of your embryos at every stage. For example, if you implant 10 embryos, the industry average is a 50% conception rate, so you are now down to five. Of the five that took, another 50% can be expected to be lost before birth. So, from your 10 embryos, you can realistically expect two to three live calves. Some cows beat the averages and some fall short, but that’s life on the farm.”

“One huge lesson we have learned from our IVF journey is to implant the collected embryos fresh or, if frozen, implant them soon,” shares Suber. “We as breeders need to understand how the quality of our cattle progresses over time. Embryos collected now will likely not be as important to us or the industry in one year, two years, or five years. Cows that were considered our best several years ago are likely less important today.

Embryos in the tank are a dead expense unless you sell them as embryos. They have more value as a live calf on the ground. Use IVF as a tool to save time and work for your betterment.”

Perhaps the most basic but important final reminder, “I would not flush a cow just because she has huge TTT or a great pedigree,” explains Landes. “If she cannot raise a calf herself or has a major flaw like a bad hip, udder, or feet, she will pass those genes on to her calves.

Why would we want to make more and hurt our breed?”

Herd Management

NUTRITION

AFTER CALVING: PREPARING COWS FOR RE-BREEDING Dr. Travis Mulliniks (Beef Cattle Nutritionist, Range Production Systems Specialist at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln) tells cattlemen that nutrition management prior to calving and through breeding is very important to optimize the reproductive performance of cows.

Gestation length in cattle is about 280 days. “We need cows to recover and rebreed within about 80 to 85 days post-partum. The issue we run into is that the majority of young cows are hard pressed to recover and start cycling by day 80. We need to focus on how we can get these cows cycling as early as possible so they can maintain their calving interval and not calve later next year,” says Mulliniks. Cows that cycle later may not breed in time and will calve late the next season or come up open. This has a negative impact on their longevity in the herd.

The earlier we can get those cows cycling, the more we can increases their opportunity to stay in the cow herd longer. “One way to do that is to get them gaining body weight as soon as possible after calving. Cows that lose some weight in late gestation can rebound after calving, to compensate, and pregnancy rates increase. Once a cow stops losing weight and starts gaining again, within 10 to 12 days those cows will start cycling again. This increases their chances to get bred quicker,” he says.

Pregnancy rate in young cows is often the lowest in the herd. “This could be the 2-year-olds or the 3-yearolds, depending on the environment they are in or how you manage your cows, but this is largely due to their inability to consume enough forage. The 2-yearold is lactating for the first time, and may be a little thin, trying to keep growing, so there is a lot of stress on that young cow to rebreed in timely fashion. There may not be enough energy in our forages to meet all those needs,” he explains.

“A lot of research that we’ve done has been focused on how we can shorten that post-partum interval and get cows to cycle quicker and conceive earlier. We’ve focused a lot of attention on nutrients that not only aid lactation but aid growth and help that young cow start cycling earlier.” The body prioritizes nutrients; lactation requirements come before body weight gain and reproduction.

“If we can partition nutrients away from her lactation needs, we can increase the amount of nutrients 22 | May 2026

going to her body and increase her opportunity to start cycling and get bred quicker,” he explains.

An older study looked at pre-calving nutrition levels and post-calving nutrition levels. For the pre-calving cows the researchers used two different levels. One group received a low level that didn’t quite meet their needs, and another group was fed a level that met their needs for maintaining body weight. Then after calving the researchers had one group fed a low level and the other group a higher level.

“In cows fed low levels before and after calving, the post-partum interval in mature cows was 73 days. The low-high group (low levels before calving, high level after calving—flushing those cows) did better. Even though nutrition level before calving was low, by giving them the proper nutrients after calving decreased the post-partum interval by almost 20 days. Post-partum nutrition has a huge influence on when those cows start cycling,” says Mulliniks.

“We can get away with nutritional levels that are not quite meeting their needs during late gestation if we supply the right nutrients after calving (when lactation greatly increases their needs) to get those cows gaining body weight as soon as possible, to compensate for that nutritional low prior to calving.”

One study looked at cows gaining 1 pound per day after calving, versus cows gaining 2 pounds per day. “This research looked at when they got pregnant within a 60 day breeding season—whether in the first 20 days, first 40 days, or by day 60. By simply gaining a pound more per day, they increased the percent that got pregnant in the first 20 days by about 20%. This can make a big difference. So if we can get cows to gain weight as soon as possible after calving and going into breeding season, we can greatly influence the timing of when they get pregnant,” he says.

“We did this as a 7-year study, with 2 and 3-year-old cows that we fed a supplement of 2 pounds per day for 70 days post-partum, looking at 3 groups, using one of three different supplements. The first group received a cottonseed meal cake (high rumen-degradable protein), the second group got a 50% by-pass protein cake (like distillers grains cake) and the third group received that by-pass cake plus 40 grams per day of a feed additive called calcium propionate,” he says.

This strategy is utilized a lot in the dairy industry— giving each cow a large bolus at calving time to keep them from becoming ketotic. Ketosis is a metabolic disorder that occurs when energy demands (from high milk production) exceed energy intake, resulting in a negative energy balance. Ketotic cows often have low blood glucose (blood sugar) concentrations. By supplying additional glucose, cows can utilize acetate as energy.

“If we look at when the first estrus occurs after calving, there was really no difference between the cows receiving the rumen-degradable supplement and the rumen-un-degradable supplement, but there was a 5

to 6 days decrease in when the cows receiving the calcium propionate started cycling. A week is not much, but when we look at pregnancy rates, we increased those from 7 to 11% just by adding 40 grams of a glucose source. It has a tremendous impact on when those cows start cycling and when they get pregnant,” he explains.

There is a high correlation between reproductive performance and the blood metabolites called ketones.

“Early conception cows have the lowest ketone concentrations so in our beef herds we use a ketone meter. This is similar to a glucometer for diabetic people. In our studies we can measure ketones at the chute with just a drop of blood to see the ketone status prior to going into breeding season,” he says.

“We’ve found that early conception (cows that conceived at timed AI) have the lowest ketone concentration versus the late conception cows. This study has been done in New Mexico and in Montana and Tennessee. They all showed that the young cows that get bred at timed AI have a lower ketone concentration than cows that conceive later in the breeding season by a cleanup bull.”

Thus ketone concentration influences when cows get pregnant. Body condition score didn’t make as much difference. “The cows in the study were body condition score 4.5 pre-calving and 4 at pre-breeding.

They were thin cows but there was no difference in when they get pregnant. Thus body condition score is not a very sensitive measure on reproductive performance,” he says.

“If you look at milk production between early and late conception, the early conception cows did have a slightly lower amount of milk produced. The nutrients received were being used to get pregnant rather than produce more milk. Thus if we can partition nutrients away from milk production and more toward body maintenance/weight gain, this allows cows to get pregnant earlier in the breeding season, especially in these younger cows, to enable them to stay in the herd,” says Mulliniks.

“There are a couple other options besides calcium propionate that can be used as a glucogenic precursor. There have been some studies using ionophores like bovatec or rumensin, looking at post-partum intervals. All of those studies showed a decrease in post-partum interval when feeding an ionophore. It has the same influence as increasing the amount of propionate—so the cow will have increased glucogenic supply,” he says.

Dams Of Merit

The Roll of Honor Continues To Grow We are excited to welcome FR Dancin’ Fox, owned

by Charles, Carol and Lonnie Adams of Adams Cattle Company, Columbus, TX, as the newest Dam of Distinction.

We would also like to congratulate Lynn & Josie Struthoff of Struthoff Ranch in San Antonio, TX, for SR 007’s Glam Agent 542 moving up to the Dam of Excellence list.

The Dam of Merit Program has been available for TLBAA members for many years as a tool to recognize those Texas Longhorn females that stand out in the area of production among Texas Longhorn breeders.

Often overlooked as an effective marketing tool, this list is an official record of the positive reproductive record of Longhorn females.

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

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

If you have a female that qualifies, simply call the TLBAA office and speak to registrar Rick Fritsche, or drop him an email at rick@tlbaa.org and he will provide you with the necessary form to fill out to submit your dam for verification. Rick will also help with any questions you may have about “calf at side” information in H.O.R.N.S. Once the progeny have been verified, your dam will be added to the list which appears in Trails Magazine, posts under “Awards” on www.tlbaa.org, and you will receive a Dam of Merit certificate for your records.

This is an affordable and easy benefit for members to promote a very important positive trait of Texas Longhorns that make owning them that much more satisfying. **NOTE: This is not a record TLBAA tracks for you.

It is up to you, as a owner/breeder, to notify us when your cow has achieved this goal. We look forward to your participation.

Futurity Bull Classes Select Sale Bull Alley Reception Bull Alley

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

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

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

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

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

ALL FEMALE ENTRIES

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

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

ULTIMATE COW & BULL AWARD • One bull and one female will be chosen based on popular vote.

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

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

SATELLITE AWARD WINNER

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

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

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

GET OF SIRE AND PRODUCE OF DAM

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

• Each Division is based on the age of the offspring of the animal entered.

The Junior Division consists of offspring between the ages of two and five years of age. The Senior Division consists of offspring six years and older.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

• Bulls that are living must be present in Oklahoma City; deceased bulls may be entered for semen sales only. (Deceased bulls may have their offspring on site to represent them) • Each owner should bring a semen tank with semen for sale or have semen sent to Champion Genetics. Must have 50 straws minimum available. If less than 50 straws available, seller must pay shipping to buyer.

• No minimum straw purchases allowed.

Events

Horn Showcase Satellite Measuring What You Need To Know The satellite measuring locations allow those unable to bring their animals to the Horn Showcase in El Reno, Oklahoma, the opportunity to enter the event and obtain an official measurement that will go on that animal’s record. Satellite locations are secured across the country with the hope that one will be convenient for those members wishing to enter the event.

HOW TO BECOME A SATELLITE LOCATION A facility needs to have a chute and other holding pens to properly contain an animal so the measuring crew can work and obtain the measurements safely and accurately. You will need to secure a minimum of FOUR individuals on your measuring crew. Everyone will need to watch the “How to Measure Horns” tutorial video that can be found on the TLBAA website.

After viewing the video, each person will fill out and sign an “Official Measuring Team” form attesting to the fact the video was watched and understood. This form is returned to the TLBAA office by no later than three weeks before the event and kept on file. In no case can an owner or employee measure their own animal, so make sure you have plenty of people on your team.

Ideally locations are secured far enough in advance to allow for advertising to enable those entering the opportunity to enter the event with a location selected. All new satellite locations must be a minimum of two hours from an existing location or the Canadian County Expo Center. Additionally, each satellite must have a minimum of five animals measured with one animal hauled in by another owner or breeder. Please note, exceptions can be made dependent on circumstances.

WHEN DO YOU MEASURE? All satellites will hold their measurements on the weekend prior to Horn Showcase. For this year, that will be September 26 and 27.

Once approved, your location will be advertised as a satellite so that other members are aware of the opportunities in their area. It is up to you to decide what else to do connected with your measuring day. Several people set up lunches, farm tours – it is up to your imagination. We can provide information with your location and can send out an e-blast to help promote your event

WHAT ABOUT SUPPLIES? Each satellite location will be provided with an official tape measure, string and cutting dikes. This will be sent to you a couple of weeks in advance of the event.

The TLBAA office will supply you with a list of entrants scheduled to come to your location. The type of measurement will be listed as well. Each animal can enter one, two or three types of measurements – Tip to Tip, Total Horn, and Composite. Additionally, for those that qualify, they may enter the Twist measurement.

After obtaining the measurements and filling in the numbers, the form is returned to the TLBAA office by no later than noon on the following Monday.

SATELLITES VS. GOING TO EL RENO Many choose to just compete in Horn Showcase via the satellite measurement sites. Everyone entering is eligible to win a bronze, if they are first in their class no matter where they are measured. Satellites are often the choice for those not wanting to trailer their animal a long distance or if the Horn Showcase weekend is not convenient for travel.

However, those that choose to enter Horn Showcase and come to the Canadian County Expo Center, there is so much more to do! Being measured in onsite allows you to know almost immediately how you placed in your class. Coming to Oklahoma also gives you the opportunity to enter the Horn Showcase Futurity and earn prize money. A five-panel team of judges evaluates the whole animal with scores between 60 and 80. The low and high scores are dropped. Depending on the size of class, first place payouts are often over $1,000. Those animals that win both their measuring class and Futurity class will be awarded a Superior Award.

Other activities at the Canadian County Expo Center include Bull Alley which is your chance to examine the top bulls and buy semen at a show special price.

It is also your opportunity to purchase your next cow at the Horn Showcase Select Sale. The Horn Showcase banquet is also a popular event to attend and a great way to cap off the weekend!

OK, I’M IN! I WANT TO HOST A SATELLITE. NOW WHAT? All you need to do is contact Horn Showcase Committee satellite liaison, David Henry at 304-283-6107 or dhenry@panhandlebuilders.com. You can also contact the TLBAA office, 817-625-6241 or salesandevents@tlbaa.org.

Events

The First-Ever American Cattle World Expo August 31 - September 4, 2026 The first-ever American Cattle World Expo will be held August 31- September 4 at the historic Will Rogers Memorial Center complex in Fort Worth, Texas.

“Hosting the American Cattle World Expo in Fort Worth has been a dream of mine for many years,” Judd Cullers of Heritage Cattle Company said. “With decades of judging international livestock shows, Gayla and I have experienced the very best in hospitality around the world — well-organized events and truly family-friendly activities.”

The event will highlight the best of American cattle breeds, including Brahman, Beefmaster, Braford, Brangus, Simbrah, Longhorn and Santa Gertrudis, with both open and junior shows.

“The cattle show itself will be one to watch as we highlight the nation’s top breeders competing for premier honors,” Cullers said. “Each evening will provide special opportunities to connect and socialize with fellow breeders — from our Welcome Dinner to the American Breed Heifer Showcase Sale and an exciting night atthe world-famous Fort Worth Stockyards enjoying a Professional Bull Riders event.”

This year, the show will have a special presentation honoring the cattlemen of Mexico, who have been an essential part of the cattle industry. For generations, breeders from Mexico have played an integral role in the success of American cattle breeds.

“Our goal is to bring together international cattlemen and U.S. breeders for one unforgettable week showcasing the very best of the American cattle breeds,” Cullers said. “We have an outstanding week planned for the hundreds of visitors attending, including a trade show featuringthe latest and most innovative agricultural products.

In addition, we will host a two-day conference with keynote speakers addressing important industryrelated topics.”

Show ccordinator Ryan Culpepper adds, “This is an opportunity for the Texas Longhorn breed to really show up, and show off, all that makes it great! The eyes of the the international cattlemen, the commercial and registered cattlemen of the southern US, the cattle show industry, as well as the junior cattle people of the world will be on the American Cattle Expo and therefore the Texas Longhorn breed.”

The diversity, and adaptability, of the American cattle, and the Texas Longhorn, will be on full display, and welcomed throughout the event.

Shows

New Opportunities for Non-Haltered Division Beginning with the 2026/2027 TLBAA Show Season, show producers have the opportunity to allow the same animal to show THREE times at the same show. Last summer, a task force was established to offer suggestions to increase the participation and availability of non-haltered worldqualifying shows. If a show utilizes three different judges – one for youth, one for open haltered and one for the non-haltered, the same animal can be entered and shown in all three divisions. Exhibitors and affiliates are encouraged to communicate with each other to determine if there would be enough cross-over entries to implement this option in their upcoming shows.

What does this mean for entering World Show? Previously, if an animal had qualified for both the open haltered and non-haltered, a decision would have to be made on which division to enter and show during the World Show. With this new change, that same animal can now be entered in both open divisions…as well as the youth (if qualified).

Reminder, this change will be in place for the World Show in 2027.

NON-HALTERED WEEKEND Another new option for affiliates and exhibitors is

44 | April 2026

to allow a strictly Non-Haltered Only Show. Until now, an affiliate was required to host both an open show AND a youth show. This rule will continue to be in place for shows that host an open haltered show, as a youth show will still be required. However, now an affiliate may choose to hold a non-haltered only show or shows. The affiliate would be required to hire different judges for each non-haltered show held over a weekend.

All other TLBAA rules would still be in place and need to be adhered to for both new showing opportunities. If you have any questions about these two changes, please contact the TLBAA office.

ASSOCIATION • After a casual pizza supper, the weekend began DANNY RUSSELL with a Non- Haltered Female and Trophy Steer show.

PRESIDENT Dr. Julie Pack did a great job judging the opener.

• Saturday a.m. former TLBT president Allison Lowrie judged the Youth Points Show.

Her many years of longhorn exhibition was on full display as she sorted the entries; she did a great job.

• Saturday afternoon brought on the open and open mini divisions with Lauren Dean judging. We thank Lauren for sharing her knowledge with the exhibitors. A cornhole tourney and ice cream sundae social brought Saturday’s events to a close. The Wylie Family excelled at the bean bag game coming in first and the second place team was lead by Jaden Melton.

• Joey Melton conducted the Cowboy church meeting Sunday a.m. Sarah Heimeyer was at the helm as the Youth Show B judge Sunday.

HOTLA would like to thank all those who volunteered and worked so hard at the show.

Jaylin Krimmel is as good an announcer as she is a singer. Her announcing and singing of the anthem were awesome.

Thanks to Laurie Krimmel and Shelley Wylie for helping with the books. Jacob Lowrie and Alex Christiansen did wonderful jobs keeping those exhibitors straight and all the switches recorded on those tricky drives. Their records were great. Brenda Tudyk did a wonderful job with the make ready book. Her attention to detail was very helpful and accurate with the exhibitor substitutions, etc. Thanks to Kassandra Merceri for always volunteering to ring steward. On the non -haltered side of things, thanks are well-deserved for Troy Unger, Joey Melton, Jessica Melton, Phil Tudyk driving those animals up and down the alleys to and from the arena. HOTLA members did a great job with the silent auction; thanks to all who contributed to the auction or bid on items.

Our sponsors are the best. They are: Ben Herman, Cookie McKee, Dr. Bill and Suzanne Torkildsen, Brad Burkhart, Danny and Merrilou Russell, Joey Melton and family, La Grange Farm and Ranch, Murdoch’s Ranch and Home Supply, Phil and Brenda Tudyk, Tractor Supply of La Grange, Rockdale General Store, Ron Bailey of FMB Land and Cattle, Sandra Nordhausen, United Ag , James and Jerelynn Burkhart.

We would especially like to thank our exhibitors. It was a great group of folks and we can’t wait to host you again. Best of luck as you continue down the trail to World Expo.

TEXAS LONGHORN BREEDERS OF TOMORROW

Presidents Message Hello all!

The season’s end is quickly approaching as we know it! I hope everyone has enjoyed racking up those points and qualifying animals for Texas Longhorn Junior Nationals. I know that I have loved spending these last shows with my longhorn family, l’ve always seen show weekends as a way to unwind from work and school to do what I love. Seniors - as we inch closer to our final World Show, let us gather and reflect on why we are here.

Why we show Texas Longhorns. The camaraderie and love for the cattle is unmatched in our breed, over any other. Let’s be sure to make this last trip around the ring count, and one to remember years down the road! With the TLBT, all of the time spent on meetings, camps, games, emails, and text threads I will absolutely cherish forever. But I won’t get to all the sappy stuff just yet, we can save that for June’s Trails edition. I can’t wait to see you all in July.

Seniors - be on the lookout for information for the TLJN banquet senior slideshow on the TLBT Facebook page!

Sincerely your TLBT National President

Sheridan Van Blarcom 2025-2026 TLBT National President

Senior Spotlight Pason Wylie Senior

How long have you been showing?

- I have been showing since freshman year but I did take a break sophomore year because of back surgery.

What are you looking forward to most this year?

- I’m looking forward to just enjoying the time and the people before I go to college.

Who has been your favorite longhorn to show?

- My Bull Shaggy Jameson was by far my favorite longhorn to show.s.

What are your plans after high school?

- After school I am going to Baylor university in Waco to become a doctor. So I can afford my one herd one day.

My major is in neuroscience.

ATTENTION AFFILIATES Shows are published once the results have been proofed and approved by the TLBAA Events Department. If you have photos of winners to submit, you may email them to myra@tlbaa.org. Please clearly identify by animal name and class won.

Attention Showmen: Be sure to look for upcoming shows to participate in on the last page of Trails Magazine each month or online at www.tbaa.org 52 | May 2026

How Can I Get My Child Started Showing Longhorns?

STEP 1 Unlike most other forms of showing livestock, showing Registered Texas Longhorns does not require a youth to own the animal that it shows. In order to prepare your child to walk into the show ring, first that child must be a junior member of the TLBAA. Parents are not required to be members unless they choose to become Longhorn owners and be a part of the whole Longhorn experience.

STEP 2 Find a TLBAA Affiliate in your area. You can find a list of affiliates and their contacts on www.tlbaa. org. You may also look at the schedule of events page in the back of Trails Magazine or the calendar tab on the website to find a show near you to visit and meet Longhorn members.

STEP 3 Many breeders have animals that they would love to allow a youth to show. It may be possible for you to arrange to work with a breeder who shows and see if arrangements can be made for your child to learn from them and get their first show experience working with someone already familiar with the experience.

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

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

STEP 4 Take advantage of information in Trails Magazine, www.tlbaa.org, affiliate activities and showmanship camps to broaden your knowledge and gain experience. Try to enter as many shows as you can, even if you don’t think you are doing well. Nothing can be done well without learning and practice.

STEP 5 During all the steps above and beyond, have fun!

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