JOIN THE ROLL OF HONOR The Dam of Disctinction Award recognizes a cow that has had five consecutive calves, the first being born before her third birthday. A Dam of Excellence must have had 10 consecutive calves, starting with the first being born before her third birthday. The Dam of Merit Award is designed to recognize those Texas Longhorns that stand out in the area of production among Texas Longhorn breeders. If you would like to nominate your female for the Dam of Merit Program, please call the TLBAA office for a nomination Form.
IN BOX As the editor, I receive various interesting photos along with explanations either through the mail or e-mail. I would like to share some of them with you inside the Trails magazine each month. If you have an interesting tid-bit or photo that may not be suitable for “Just for Grins”, please send them to me. You may end up in the next issue of the Trails!

Speaking of horns… every have to saw away the center support from your homemade hay ring while the thing you are trying to free would like nothing more than to stomp a mud hole in your rear while freeing her? She’s free, and I’m still in one piece.
