Steve Anderson, Martin O’Connor Ranch, Victoria, TX Nothing is more adaptable than the Beefmaster female.

She’s built to withstand extremes — from heat and cold, to desert, prairie and coastal plains.

Research shows the breed ranks above others for feed efficiency, one of the most important production traits.

So if your cow herd has lost its ability to adapt to changing times or challenging environments, maybe it’s time to rebuild with proven, Beefmaster females.

Nothing beats a Beefmaster.

STEADY & TRUE Arthur Uhl takes the helm as Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association president.

By Jena McRell Photos by Emily McCartney

T

hirty years ago, when Arthur Uhl first set eyes on the Six Mile Ranch near Fort McKavett, he beheld a breathtaking sight.

stretched far beyond legal transactions, and into open skies and quiet places. Generations of families, like the Powells of San Angelo, made their livelihood from these pastures.

Although he didn’t know it then, that year was one of those rare times when Mother Nature cast her blessings toward West Texas and rain fell in abundance.

As he looked across the horizon, Arthur believed he had a full picture of what ranching was like.

The creeks were flowing, tanks were full and pastures were hues of rich, vibrant green. The well-fed herd of Hereford cattle grazed contently against the beautifully rugged landscape.

“Before too long, it quit raining,” Arthur recalls. “Everything dried up and was dusty.

And I thought, now I understand how challenging this can be.”

Arthur was soon to marry his bride, Lorrie Powell, and had never experienced the land quite this way. A lawyer from San Antonio, he was versed in real estate, tax and property matters. But he soon realized the land’s value

That marked the beginning of his decadeslong ranching education. Mentoring him along the way was his father-in-law, Jimmie Powell, a past president of Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association.

And then, times changed.

“Arthur is highly intelligent and explanations stay with him,” Jimmie says. “We can talk about the ranching business for a long time, but many things are answered by watching and working. That is what he has done.”

Powell Ranches’ long-time manager David Neal also remembers when Arthur joined the family. He was impressed with the newcomer’s attention to detail, and willingness to listen and learn. Arthur would join the crew to pitch in whenever he could, and quickly put his legal expertise to work while helping manage the family business.

“Arthur caught on really fast,” David says. “He’s done a great job learning to speak our vocabulary, which was originally foreign to him. He has been a tremendous benefit to the family, to me and everybody in the operation.”

After marrying into the Powell family, with ranching roots tracing back six generations, Arthur joined a second family — the Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association. He was welcomed with open arms as he learned the cattle industry, and offered his own insights into real estate, natural resources, taxes and policy.

“Being involved in Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association helped educate me and gave me a network of great people who I could count on and identify with,” he says. “It’s been extremely beneficial to me and countless others.”

True to his nature, Arthur felt called to give back to the organization.

He volunteered his time reviewing tax and legislative matters, and serving on committees. He joined the association’s board of directors, and for the past four years, was part of the officer team.

On March 26, Arthur was elected as the association’s 63rd president during the Cattle Raisers Convention & Expo in Fort Worth.

“I am honored to serve as the next president of this longstanding and impactful association,” he says.

value to the family business by what I know, and also help others facing the same challenges. It makes me feel good to be able to help them, as well.”

When he is not at the ranch, Arthur can be found in downtown San Antonio at his law firm Uhl, Fitzsimons, Burton, Wolff and Rangel PLLC.

LIFE AT THE RANCH

On one particular morning, he’s reviewing tax policy documents for Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association. A student of law and legislation, he is wellinformed in the language and potential implications for the ranching community.

The 150-mile drive from San Antonio to the ranch is one the Uhl family knows well.

He reads each line carefully and meticulously. Just like when managing the cow herd, every detail counts.

Arthur was inspired to become an attorney by his grandfather, Arthur Uhl Sr. The elder Arthur attended law school at the University of Texas prior to World War I. After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in business administration from the University of Texas, Arthur followed in his grandfather’s footsteps and attended law school at the same university.

He started his own firm in 2004.

Throughout his nearly 40-year career, Arthur has represented clients in a wide range of farm and ranch real estate transactions including acquisitions; dispositions; financing; easements; mineral, solar and wind leasing; water transactions; and conservation easements.

“I’ve enjoyed molding these two passions, practicing law and cattle ranching,” Arthur says. “There are so many challenges, burdensome regulations and taxes when it comes to owning and operating land today.

I like to play a part in defending those kind of private property rights issues.”

At the end of the day, Arthur says what he enjoys most is helping people.

“I like to help my family, friends and others who do the same thing we do,” Arthur says. “Hopefully I can add

June 2022

Arthur and Lorrie make the trip each week to catch up on what’s happening. Along with Jimmie, David and the ranch crew, they are deeply involved in guiding the family business.

The couple’s children, James, Elisabeth and Scott, all share cherished memories on the land.

The eldest, James, is an active manager and lives on the ranch full time. Growing up in the city, he says he was always eager to load up for a road trip to Fort McKavett.

“It was a special time being with my Dad on the road or spending time at the ranch,” James says. “And the same goes now. There are very few things more enjoyable than spending time with him, bouncing around the ranch and taking a look at things.”

Also a University of Texas graduate, James moved to Schleicher County soon after finishing an economics degree with a minor in business. His parents’ support and encouragement helped him realize there was a place at the ranch, but he never felt pressure to do so. The decision was his alone.

“Working with James every day in this capacity is a real blessing,” Arthur says. “There’s not as many young people getting back into ranching, so it is very gratifying when you see it and it works.”

It works because the family has surrounded themselves with great people. David says they lead by example, working together with employees and fostering a positive team environment.

The purebred side of the business, Powell Herefords, dates back to Lorrie’s grandfather, Virgil Powell. They also raise commercial Hereford and Angus-cross cattle and sheep, and manage hunting operations. Through the generations, they have learned to adapt and capitalize on opportunities presented for the land.

As he goes about his work, James carries his dad’s example along with him.

“Everything he does, he does with integrity,” says James, who is also on the Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association board of directors. “That is something that always sticks with me. He is honest and among the hardest working people I know.”

THE RIGHT FIT

In the world of cattle ranching, Arthur admits there are constant challenges to overcome. The weather, markets, property taxes, animal health concerns — the list goes on and on. And yet, this way of life is more than worth it.

“It is more honest, down to Earth,” Arthur says. “It is just a better way of living.”

As Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association president, Arthur looks forward to his two-year term serving landowners, ranchers and their families. A top priority will be maintaining the organization’s strong voice in Austin and Washington, D.C. “Ranchers have always been independent, but this is unmistakable: You need to have a united voice to influence and impact policy matters,” Arthur says. “Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association is that voice, and it’s more important now than ever.”

The highly contested political climate will make a tough road for advancing legislative priorities, but it’s a fight the organization and its leaders are equipped to undertake.

“I sleep well at night because I know Arthur is working just as hard as I am here at the ranch every day,” David says. “Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association and all of us in the business are lucky to have him, and I know he will keep helping us for years to come.”

When asked what fellow cattle raisers should know about his son-in-law, Jimmie puts it simply: “Without a question, he is honest and has a high degree of integrity — and they can take that to the bank.”

Arthur says he and the board of directors will seek to find ways to increase membership and encourage the next generation to get involved in young leader programs.

As he knows well, there’s untold value in the association’s network. Arthur hopes to extend the same welcome and encouragement as he received 30 years ago.

“He is a kind, thoughtful and very genuine person,” James says. “I believe those characteristics will serve him well and that TSCRA members will appreciate having in their president.” CT

A LASTING

TRADITION Cattle Raisers Convention & Expo attendees share a firsthand experience of this year’s event.

By Kayla Jennings

T

he year was 1877. Indian Wars were commonplace across the West, the first telephone was installed back East and the phonograph was just invented.

A bit closer to home, cattlemen of the day were facing an uptick in livestock theft. The challenge brought them together to find a solution.

In the Northwest Texas town of Graham, 40 ranchers rolled up their sleeves to take a stand against cattle rustling. And thus began what is known today as Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association.

After first meeting under an oak tree, the association’s humble beginnings have evolved to face the challenges of ranching across the Southwest.

Those 40 visionaries grew to exceed 17,000 members representing beef cattle producers, ranching families and businesses managing approximately 4 million head of cattle on 76 million acres, primarily in Texas and Oklahoma.

As the association has grown, so has its annual meeting. Cattle Raisers Convention & Expo takes Fort Worth by storm every March to foster learning and networking opportunities for cattlemen of all experience levels.

Around 250 businesses set up shop for the weekend in the expo hall, while more than 30 hours of educational programming was conducted by the best in the business. This year, more than 3,500 attendees traveled to Cowtown for the event March 25-27.

Jenny and Lane Horwood look forward to attending convention each year with their family.

“If you own land, every day is Earth Day,” said President George W. Bush during his keynote address also featuring Red Steagall.

YEAR AFTER YEAR

And by everyone, she means Lane’s parents; Lathen and his girlfriend, Taylor; Lyle and his wife, Bailey, and their daughters, Sayer and Steelie.

For the Horwood family, 38-year members, this weekend in March is their family vacation — and it has been as far back as Lane can remember.

“Our whole family really looks forward to it,” Jenny says. “We all come to Fort Worth and spend a lot of time together, do some shopping and social networking. It’s been really neat to meet people sharing our lifestyle.”

One young couple in the crowd was Lane and Jenny Horwood from Sterling City.

His parents, Larry and Linda, raised their boys on the ranch. At Horwood Ranch Co., an Angus-based, cow-calf operation, Lane, Lyle and Lathen had a front-row seat to the industry’s highs and lows.

From a young age, the fifth generation traveled with their parents to Cattle Raisers Convention & Expo to not only identify solutions to those problems, but also fellowship with other ranchers.

TIME WELL-SPENT

With their convention handbook in tow, the Horwoods were ready for another great convention this year after the 250-mile drive to the big city.

Lane admits, as a young kid, it was always fun to get off the ranch, but he also didn’t see the full value in attending at the time. Now, five years back at the ranch after graduating from Texas Tech University, the tables have turned.

“My mother has been dragging me to these all my life,” he quips. “And now we are very willing to come. If you really want to learn, you want to work on being a more successful cattle rancher and you want to strengthen the ag community in the state, this is the place to do it.”

In true Horwood family fashion, Lane was excited to bring his bride, Jenny, on board a couple of years ago. As a fifth-generation rancher herself, she has fully embraced this family tradition.

“When we first started dating it seemed like everyone in the family always talked about the Cattle Raisers Convention & Expo and how they enjoyed it every spring,” she recalls. “When I got to come for the first time in 2021, it was a great experience and it lived up to everything everybody had talked about.”

Friday morning, the first general session featured Colin Woodall, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association CEO, who addressed legislative issues in Washington, D.C. For Lane, participating in an organization fighting for his rights as a rancher is extremely valuable.

“One of the most important factors about TSCRA is being able to have a group of people who can go to Austin and D.C. and speak for you as a rancher,” he says.

“To have that voice is valuable in order to continue our ranching heritage.”

In addition to general sessions, the convention offered presentations on many topics cattle raisers are facing. Lane and Jenny agree, there is something for everyone. Each year, they select from a menu of presentations covering topics from weather, exports and policy to marketing, insurance, cattle health, nutrition and more.

“We went to a really neat presentation, the Young Producers Panel,” Lane says. “It was enlightening to see people the same age as we are and what they are

doing on their ranches. Those conversations can help us incorporate some new ideas into our day-to-day.”

Learning was not confined to a classroom.

The expo floor was full of vendors, as well as a demonstration area for ranchers to see the latest equipment and technologies up-close.

“In the expo, you can learn about a new spray chemical or a maybe a new cattle chute that works better for your operation,” Lane explains. “It is really fun to be hands-on and not just see it, but also to try it out in person.”

In addition, there were several sessions covering cattle handling practices, meat cutting, working with cow dogs and more. Jenny recalls a session from last year on tackling brush control that really motivated them to make changes at home.

“You get to hear other people ask questions, even if you don’t have one yourself, and you can really learn a lot from that,” Lane says. “This was true specifically in the Ask an Ag Lawyer Panel. That was a really good couple hours spent.”

If You want to work on being a more successful rancher, this is the place to do it.”

It was not all work and no play, though.

Jenny says the many boutiques and shopping opportunities are a fun way to bring home unique items to commemorate the trip.

Both evenings were full of opportunities to connect with cattle raisers in a more relaxed setting. Friday evening offered several receptions to meet up with college alumni, and Saturday boasted the famous Cattle Raisers Dinner and Dance, as well as the new Late Night Party.

“Saturday evening is always a blast,” Lane says. “I can’t imagine going to convention and not listening to Jake Hooker. It is great way to wrap it all up at the end of the trip together.”

STAYING INVOLVED

As the Horwoods packed their bags to head back to Sterling City, they couldn’t help but feel excited for what is to come.

These meetings not only teach cattle raisers the latest in industry trends and technology, but they also spur a sense of comradery and excitement for applying those skills to the ranch — and for the next generation.

“Agriculture really is a family industry,” Jenny says. “At a convention like this, it is neat to see they make it a family event. Even at a young age it makes a big impact, and it is important to keep the younger generation involved because that is how we keep things going.”

Beyond the convention itself, the Horwoods believe strongly in encouraging people of all ages to get involved.

“If you want to be involved in cattle ranching, you need to be a member of Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association,” Lane says. “Any young rancher, with one cow or a thousand cows, who is interested and wants to be a part of the lifestyle will benefit from being a member.” CT

LOOKING

AHEAD CattleFax predictions point to a better fall and years ahead for cattle raisers.

By John Wallace

R

ecognizing the challenges cattle raisers have faced in markets and drought, CattleFax CEO Randy Blach predicted a better second half for 2022 during Cattle Raisers Convention & Expo.

Addressing a crowd March 26, he said cattle market fundamentals look even more promising for 2023 through 2025. But inflation likely will continue to increase costs.

CattleFax expects the current La Niña weather pattern, which typically brings dry weather to the Southern Plains, to persist into the summer.

But forecasters expect the pattern to begin to change in the late summer and fall.

Blach made his presentation just one month after Russia invaded Ukraine, and the war was impacting both grain and energy markets. He noted the U.S. crude oil inventory is substantially below the five-year average and hasn’t kept up with increased demand as the pandemic eased.

The conflict caused oil to reach $130 per barrel in March and, he said, could push it higher over the next 12 to 24 months — mentioning the possibility of $170 oil.

“Some of that is going to be dictated on what our government policy is,” Blach said. “Are we actually going to push to become energy independent, or are we going to continue to plow down this same path we’re in today?”

Energy inflation is not short term in his view.

“We’re going to have to adjust the higher cost all the way through our systems,” he said.

Blach noted a long-term pattern in oil and corn markets: For every $1 change in crude oil, corn prices change 4 cents in the same direction.

When crude oil went from $65 to $105 per barrel,

44

Wholesale prices have already made the move to higher levels, cattle will follow in 2022-2025.

a change of $40, corn added $2 per bushel. “It’s not perfect, but it’s a good rule of thumb,” he said.

Ukraine produces only 4% of the world’s corn, but it exports 80% of that — about one billion bushels.

Beginning this fall and especially in 2023, Blach expects some of that leverage, or excessive margin, to swing away from packers back to producers in various industry segments.

“The markets are trying to figure out how much of it they are going to produce. I believe it was priced in that they were not going to be able to produce at least twothirds of that crop,” Blach said.

For the year, CattleFax predicts fed cattle to sell in a range of $130 to $155 per hundredweight with the highs to come in the summer. In 2023, CattleFax expects fed cattle to average $150 — in 2024, $160.

Turning to cattle markets, Blach reviewed the history of droughts, cattle numbers and how, once again, more than 50% of the U.S. beef cows were in areas affected by drought. In 2006 and 2007, beef cows numbered about 32.5 million head. In 2014, after widespread drought, inventories bottomed at about 29 million.

For feeder cattle, Blach expects they’ve already hit their low for the year. They should work higher in the summer in a typical pattern. If cattle country gets moisture, the calf market will defy the typical seasonal pattern and get higher in the fall, he predicted.

“We rebounded and went back to 31.7 million [in 2019].

We think in 2023, we’re going to be back at about 29.5 million beef cows,” he said, only 500,000 more than the low in 2014.

Feedlots have maintained inventories this year because drought forced cattle into feedlots earlier, Blach said. He expects cattle-on-feed numbers to drop around 1.2 million head by September 2022 to below 11 million head. That will strengthen cattle feeders’ hand.

In the last liquidation, ending in 2014, the industry harvested 7 million fewer cattle than in 2000, Blach said.

Packing houses were losing money and several closed.

When fed cattle numbers grew again, packers didn’t have their former capacity, at least in a 40-hour work week. Since 2017, the industry has produced 5% to 9% more fed cattle than packers had slaughter capacity.

“This has really been the issue — this leverage issue that the industry has talked about,” Blach said. “That is in the process of starting to shift.”

June 2022

Given the current drought, Blach expects the cyclical low in beef supplies to be in 2025.

“We’ll have higher price levels for all segments of the industry as we move in here over the next two, three and four years,” he said.

One problem the beef cattle industry doesn’t face now is demand, a huge change from the early 1990s, Blach said. At that time, one out of four steaks was a bad eating experience.

“We didn’t listen to the consumer. Half the product we produced was [USDA grade] Select and down,” he said. “Today, 85% of the product is Choice and up. We’ve gone through a 65% increase in the amount of Choice, Certified Angus Beef and Prime production.

“We’re looking at beef demand at the highest levels in 33 years,” Blach continued. “This is one thing we don’t want to mess up. This is where our bread gets buttered.”

Where We Stand

THE REAL COST OF

BORDER SECURITY

By Stephen Diebel, Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association second vice president

T

exas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association members living along the Texas-Mexico border and in South Texas are on the front lines of a dangerous and costly battle against increasingly brazen illegal border crossers.

Hardworking ranchers, landowners and their families experience this crisis every day. For them, it’s far more than a political controversy on the nightly news and far simpler than the national security concerns raised by analysts.

It’s their personal safety, security and livelihood. It’s the first thing they worry about when they wake up and the last thing they think about at night.

It is incredibly sad and unfortunate that our federal government — the entity in charge of maintaining secure international borders — has failed so dramatically in their duty to the American taxpayer. Unwilling or unable to do its job, the responsibility and costs have fallen to the state and local governments, private organizations and individual landowners.

As a result, Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association members regularly come forward with personal accounts of burglarized buildings, stolen property, damaged infrastructure and even armed intimidation.

The cost to fix their fences and deal with other damages also add up. Not to mention the added burdens and stretched budgets communities incur from increased local law enforcement needs and the influx of migrants utilizing public services in rural Texas.

The emotional costs also continue to mount.

drive-through or grill a steak on their back porch.

Yet, they must constantly worry about themselves or their kids running into armed trespassers on their own property.

We are incredibly grateful for our law enforcement officers and cannot say enough good things about their work. Unfortunately, despite their best efforts, so long as Congress fails to act and the Biden administration refuses to acknowledge the crisis, cattle raisers and landowners will continue to suffer.

At Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, we are committed to calling attention to the plight of these families. Lawmakers on every level of government and the public need to know what they’re experiencing. We hope this awareness and the strain on our food supply will spur action, especially in Washington, D.C. To help facilitate this, I am proud to announce Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association recently formed our own border security task force. The group consists of impacted members from across South Texas, staff and select association special rangers.

The task force will rely on the extensive experience of these individuals to identify areas of concern and develop creative solutions to mitigate the impacts of illegal immigration. The group will guide association efforts on border security and serve as a resource for policymakers, law enforcement and impacted landowners as we work together to end this border crisis.

As chairman of the Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association border security task force, I am proud to take on this challenge and optimistic we can improve the lives of cattle raisers and landowners impacted by this terrible crisis. CT

ep. Trent Ashby has been an ardent supporter of Texas agriculture since he was elected to the Texas House of Representatives in 2012.

His district, which recently shifted during redistricting, includes Angelina, Houston, Polk, San Augustine, Trinity and Tyler counties.

Ashby was raised on an East Texas dairy farm and Rep. Trent Ashby showed cattle throughout his childhood. He was also a calf roper, and served as Texas 4-H President and Texas FFA State Vice President. His continued focus on agriculture is no surprise, with more than 144,700 head of cattle spread across his district, according to the latest Census of Agriculture.

Look Who has a Texas Address!

NJW LONG HAUL 36E Long Haul is making a profound impact on the breed and one of the leading sires out there with curve-bending EPDs. He sired this year’s high selling bull at the San Antonio Livestock Show All Breeds Bull & Commercial Female Sale.

During his time in the legislature, Ashby has also passed a myriad of other bills supported by cattle raisers. In 2017, he sponsored a bill to prevent the State of Texas from spending public funds on private high-speed rail projects. That legislation remains a key tool in protecting the rights of landowners along the proposed path of Texas Central’s bullet train boondoggle.

In recent years, Ashby has also passed beneficial legislation on groundwater issues, open-space property tax valuation and liability limitations for prescribed burning, among other subjects. CT

During the 2021 Texas Legislative Session, Ashby led efforts to pass and secure funding for H.B. 5.

This critical legislation created a State Broadband Development Office within the Texas Comptroller’s Office, which will be instrumental in extending internet access to rural communities. As a result of his efforts, Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association is already actively engaged with the State Broadband Development Office on behalf of its members.

CONVENTION

CHATTER Headlines from Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association’s largest event of the year.

By Chrissy Fly

T

he spring signified an important season for Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association members, as more than 3,500 attendees made their way to Fort Worth for the Cattle Raisers Convention & Expo.

The event took place March 25-27, and welcomed smiling faces for a weekend full of opportunities to learn, network and enjoy good times with fellow cattle raisers.

The Cattle Raisers Expo boasted 250-plus exhibitor booths for attendees to visit. Through the School for Successful Ranching, demonstration area and new Learning Lounge, attendees had opportunities to further their industry knowledge with more than 30 hours of educational content.

A major high note of the event was the keynote session featuring President George W. Bush and Red Steagall. The two shared in a fireside chat that left members both laughing and inspired.

Cattle Raisers Convention & Expo is a special time for many people, but most importantly, it is a time for cattle raisers and landowners to come together to support and promote their industry.

This passion was reflected through funds raised for various causes during the weekend, including $131,000 to support association youth programs; $196,000 for the Special Ranger Foundation; and $65,000 raised and more than $100,000 pledged toward the Disaster Relief Fund.

TOP STEWARDS ANNOUNCED

Parks Ranch, owned by David Crow and his son, Matt, of Goliad, was recognized as the winner of the Texas Outstanding Rangeland Stewardship Award.

This honor is a joint effort between Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, Texas Section Society for Range Management and Texas Grazing Land Coalition. Parks Ranch will also serve as the nominee for the National Cattleman’s Foundation Environmental Stewardship Award Region IV. Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association Past President Hughes Abell said this is one of the most distinguished honors a rancher can receive, and it is extremely competitive.

“Cattle raisers across the nation work hard every day to preserve and protect the land we all cherish,” Abell said.

“The Crows are dedicated to preserving the integrity of the land and maintaining sustainable practices that can be passed on from generation to generation. They are an outstanding example of stewardship exemplified, and we’re proud to present them with this award.”

The first-ever Graduate Research Poster Showcase welcomed 19 posters from five colleges, giving students the opportunity to present beef-based research initiatives. Pictured here is Brady Fields, Tarleton State University.

It was a great privilege to be able to present at the TSCRA convention in Fort Worth this year. I would like the thank those that attended the presentation and everyone for coming by the Specialized Crop Insurance booth. It was a real pleasure to talk with each of you. If you were not able to make the convention, I would love to speak with you as well.

I have been working PRF for years and truly understand how it works best in the wet and dry years. Personally, and professionally, I can confidently advocate for this product. PRF can work incredibly well if it is set up correctly. If you have heard of PRF but were not sure how it worked, if you have tried it before but it didn’t pan out, or if you currently have it with someone else but are not really feeling its value…please, consider contacting me. I will be happy to talk with you and make sure you truly understand how it works. Then we can design a PRF policy to be the most beneficial for your individual operation.

Combined with rotational grazing and brush management programs, the Crows have created an optimal grazing distribution plan.

The father-son duo has a deep passion for conserving the land for future generations of ranchers.

“The Crow family sustains the land because they see the vision of future generations,” Abell said. “Maintaining sustainable ranching practices and wildlife preservation has allowed them to steward a legacy.”

CHEROKEE COUNTY EXTENSION AGENT RECOGNIZED

Aaron Low, an Extension agent based in Cherokee County, was named the 2022 Outstanding County Extension Agent – Beef.

The award, which was created to recognize the state’s most dedicated and effective local educators in cattle production, is presented each year during Cattle Raisers Convention & Expo.

Abell said county Extension agents play an integral role in helping cattle raisers get the information they need, as well as adopt best management practices and new technologies to improve product quality and producer sustainability.

“Texas A&M AgriLife Extension agents’ work is invaluable, and their programming is so vital to our members,” Abell said. “Aaron Low is an extraordinary example. He has worked hard to create quality programs that support hundreds of producers in East Texas.”

Low has worked to address issues with livestock numbers and forage management in Cherokee County.

In 2021, nearly 100% of beef producers said they are intending to or have adopted management practices learned through programming Low conducted. He has hosted events and demonstrations to engage beef producers including beef and forage workshops, pesticide conferences and trainings, many educational newsletters and producer farm visits.

Theft & Law

while he was supposed to be taking care of them. The cattle from Tatum were stolen Jan. 29, two days after Robinson was initially arrested for cattle theft and remained in jail.

SPECIAL RANGER

Witness statements and evidence showed Robinson, while in jail, encouraged family members to collect and sell 11 head of cattle he led them to believe he owned.

Robinson told family members to use profits from the cattle for legal expenses for Robinson’s prior arrest.

ACTIVITY

PLEASANTON MAN ARRESTED IN CATTLE THEFT CASE

Xavier Gonzalez allegedly bought cattle and never paid for them.

Xavier Gonzalez, 55, was responsible for purchasing cattle in South Texas for a cattle company. Beginning in October 2021, Gonzalez allegedly purchased cattle for his employer and himself. The investigation showed Gonzalez bought a total of 47 head of cattle valued at $17,851.

Gonzalez promised to make payment to the sale barn, but after many attempts of contacting him and receiving no payment, the sale barn owner contacted Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association. The association’s special rangers Tony Ashley and Joe Aguilar Jr. investigated and arrested Gonzalez March 3 on a warrant out of Starr County.

Upon arrest, Gonzalez was charged with a third-degree felony for theft of livestock.

RUSK COUNTY MAN FACES FELONY THEFT, AGAIN

Charles Allen Robinson Jr. arrested for felony theft of livestock.

In February, Rusk County Sheriff Deputies received a report of stolen cattle near Tatum. Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association Special Rangers Larry Hand and Darrel Bobbitt began an investigation along with Rusk County Deputy Patrick Dooley.

During the investigation, they learned Charles Allen Robinson Jr. had cattle stolen and sold by his family

June 2022

A theft of livestock arrest warrant was obtained by Hand and Rusk County Sheriff’s Deputies. They served the warrant on Robinson March 24 at his property in Rusk County. He was also charged with evading arrest

by Rusk County Sherriff’s Office. Robinson was released from Rusk County Jail March 25 on $202,000 in surety bonds for the latest charges.

“Upon conviction, Robinson will be held accountable for his alleged continued criminal actions against area ranchers,” Hand said.

CATTLE ALLEGEDLY STOLEN BY RANCH HAND Jesus Sergio Perez-Sanchez released from jail on $50,000 bonds.

Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association Special Rangers Larry Hand, Bo Fox and Darrel Bobbitt conducted a lengthy investigation of Jesus Sergio PerezSanchez beginning in December 2021, after an absentee landowner discovered irregularities in cattle sales from their ranch.

Perez-Sanchez, 65, was arrested March 11 on two felony charges for theft of livestock. One charge is for allegedly taking three yearlings to the livestock auction and placing one of them in his own name without the absentee landowner’s consent. The second charge is for allegedly taking one bull and one cow to the livestock auction and placing the cow under his own name without the consent of the same absentee landowner.

The investigation continues and additional charges are possible. Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association Special Rangers want to recognize the assistance of Smith County Patrol Deputies during the arrest of PerezSanchez, who was released from the Smith County Jail March 21 on $50,000 surety bonds.

FOUNDATION FOR

RANCH HORSE HEALTH Veterinarian shares aspects of equine care.

By Chrissy Fly

T

he 2021 Pro Rodeo Cowboy Association’s Veterinarian of the Year, Dr. Ben Espy, was recently featured on the Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association podcast, TSCRA Talk.

The King Ranch veterinarian and head of veterinary services for San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo shared advice and strategies when caring for ranch horses.

At the top of his list: maintaining vaccines and deworming. Espy said it is important to keep up-to-date with these practices since most horses are going to be mixed with others or could be leaving the ranch to go work at another location.

The next area he watches is a horse’s feet. Lack of proper hoof care can lead to neglected feet, especially during extreme weather like what is experienced in Texas and the Southwest.

“The hoof is a dynamic tissue,” Espy said. “Meaning that it swells and contracts depending on the weather, weight and activity of the horse, so hoof care is pretty essential. It doesn’t necessarily have to be shoes, but it does need to be managed with trimming.”

In addition to hooves, Espy said teeth are significant to overall horse health. He reassured people shouldn’t stress about having a horse’s teeth floated all the time, but to keep an eye on sharp points on the animal’s teeth and remove them as necessary.

Epsy also addressed a common misconception about nutrition and feed.

He said many horse owners used to always feed highsugar sweet feeds and avoided high-fat diets. However, high-fat feeds have proven less detrimental than once thought and can actually be better for overall health.

Espy said horses can metabolize high-fat feeds really well, and he advised owners not to be concerned about heart attacks and cholesterol problems.

“With a high-fat diet, you don’t have all the of foot problems and endocrine problems,” he said. “Those are all carbohydrate-based diseases, and if you convert your main food source to fat, it can help.”

Monitoring body condition score is another key aspect of keeping horses healthy.

Espy gave a simple explanation. He said to look at the horse and make sure their ribs can be felt but aren’t visible, their back is flat, and the top of their spine isn’t showing.

The best way to manage ranch horse health, Espy summarized, is to keep them in a natural environment as much as possible and to be aware of their temperament.

Since you are working with the animals one-on-one, you will be the best judge of potential issues.

“There are people that float teeth every nine months, and then there are people that don’t float teeth at all,” Espy said. “You have to find that happy medium.”

Cooperia (shown here) is one of the most prevalent internal parasites in U.S. cattle herds. And infected calves experience 7.4% less average daily gain.1

This summer, adding SAFE-GUARD® (fenbendazole) to your cattle is an easy, convenient way you can help keep your pasture clean – and your cattle profitable.1 Not only is SAFE-GUARD highly effective – taking out 98.7% of worms2 – it’s also the only dewormer that can be given with feed or in the pasture. That means you can keep up the fight against profit-eating parasites all season long, without re-working cattle. Talk about convenience. If you suspect your warm weather protocol could use a boost, talk to your veterinarian about adding powerful, proven SAFE-GUARD.

WHAT PLANT IS IMPORTANT FOR THE

MONTH OF JUNE? Giant Ragweed (Ambrosia trifida)

By Kent Ferguson Photo by Janice Lynn, Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center

G

iant Ragweed is a native annual found throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico. The coarse, rough-stemmed plant is not found in dry, arid regions. Also known as Bloodweed, Blood Ragweed or Buffaloweed, this plant: •

Has a single main stem or stalk reaching up to 12 feet tall in deep, moist soil.

•

Has rough leaves that are simple, opposite and palmately divided into three lobes on the upper leaves, and five lobes on the lower leaves.

•

Has leaves attached to the stem by a petiole up to 2 inches long.

•

Produces both male and female flowers on the same plant, which yield seed up to a quarterinch long with short spikes on the top.

after year, it will populate the same areas and is most often found in river bottoms, riparian zones and wetland areas livestock cannot access. It will dominate these landscapes if allowed.

Giant Ragweed is not often consumed by white-tail deer, except in early spring when the leaves are young and tender. However, many game birds and songbirds enjoy the seed.

Giant Ragweed will produce a bright red sap when the tissue is damaged, hence the name Bloodweed. It has been reported that early natives used the sap for dye, paint and medicines. Early pioneers also used the stalk’s dry pith to seal leaky barrels and water vessels. CT

Giant Ragweed is grazed heavily by livestock and will seldom be found in continuously grazed pastures. Year

BQA TIP: PROPER

INJECTION

PROCEDURES A

s cattle raisers administer vaccinations or other shots this summer and fall, it is important to follow BQA principles and label directions.

Subcutaneous injections, under the skin, should be given in either the neck or elbow pocket.

Intramuscular injections should be given in the neck, regardless of the animal or the type of injection.

This rule includes estrus synchronization products sometimes used in replacement heifers and cows.

Whenever the label allows for either intramuscular or subcutaneous injections, the subcutaneous route should be used.

Additionally, leave at least 4 inches between each injection, and do not place one injection under another injection. CT

SOARING DEMAND

WORLDWIDE U.S. beef values reach new heights in the international marketplace.

By Bob Cervera Photo courtesy of U.S. Meat Export Federation

D

espite a shaky global economy, record levels of U.S. beef continue to pack container ships and delivery trucks around the world. Export volumes and values have never been higher, and it’s driving real dollars back to the beef industry.

On stage March 25 during Cattle Raisers Convention & Expo, two experts explained how international demand supports ranchers at home. John Hinners, industry relations senior vice president for U.S. Meat Export Federation, reported the nation’s beef exports generated more than $10.5 billion in 2021 — a record number. Total volume reached more than 1.4 million metric tons.

These values represented about 15% of total U.S. beef production and added more than $400 per fed animal.

What is driving the increase? The value is in the brand.

“Anytime you have a brand, you have a promise,” Hinners said. “When you look at U.S. beef, we’ve got a promise on many attributes. It is going to taste good. It is safe. It is high quality and tender. Consumers know the quality and consistency is always going to be there.”

Joining Hinners was Jason Bagley, Texas Beef Council vice president of beef resources, who said meeting consumer needs has been central to export success.

“There are a lot of unknowns in the world right now,” Bagley said. “But what we do know is that consumer demand continues to be strong, and as long as markets are open, we are going to continue trying to work in those markets.”

An uptick in variety meat sales, more than $1 billion in 2021, has played a major role in growing export values.

Beyond Our Gates American consumers don’t typically consume in large quantities, like the tongue, tripe, lips and heart, sell at higher markups internationally.

“Markets around the world desire some of these variety meats, so we try to add value in that aspect,” Hinners said.

Moving ahead

Starting out in 2022, U.S. Meat Export Federation reports the growth curve holding strong.

In March, beef exports totaled 126,285 metric tons, up 1% from a year ago and the third largest on record, while value climbed 33% to a record $1.07 billion. First quarter exports increased 6% to 353,852 metric tons, valued at more than $3 billion — up 41%.

Japan has long been known as a top importer for U.S. beef, but now the country’s top-tier position is more competitive. Countries such as China, South Korea and Taiwan are joining rank.

“More than $6 billion dollars in products of U.S. beef went to just three markets: Japan, China and Korea,” Hinners said of 2021 trends. “Those markets weren’t always open to U.S. beef, so it’s exciting to see that product flow into these countries.”

Other markets including Central and South America, Africa and the Caribbean, are gaining traction, too.

Diversity in exports helps secure U.S. beef against the impact from economic downturns in a single market.

“These up-and-coming markets are not the big players today, but they could be,” Bagley said. “We’re really excited to not have all of our eggs in one basket, and to be entering lots of different markets.”

During challenging economic times, both domestically and abroad, it is reassuring to see foreign markets that are hungry for U.S. beef. Looking ahead and positioning U.S. beef as the leading brand in the global marketplace will remain a top priority for organizations like U.S. Meat Export Federation and Texas Beef Council.

Where will exports go from here? Hinners said the immediate future looks bright.

“I think we are going to see another year of record exports, if we do not have a major meltdown in our ports,” he said. “The demand is there for red meat products.” CT Bob Cervera is a writer for Grant Company based in St. Joseph, Missouri.

FIGHTING BACK WITH

THE FACTS

Promoting beef to consumers with a fresh perspective.

By John Wallace

B

eef can win hearts, minds and appetites with facts, but it helps to paint a picture and offer a new perspective. The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, a contractor to the Beef Checkoff, is using all those tools in messaging to consumers. And it’s working.

Colin Woodall, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association CEO, shared insights during his keynote address March 25 at Cattle Raisers Convention & Expo in Fort Worth.

The pandemic was an eye-opener, Woodall said. In grocery stores, empty beef cases next to fully stocked cases of fake meat products proved consumers still prefer beef. The stock price of one fake meat manufacturer dropped 61% in a year. McDonald’s test marketing of McPlant burgers hasn’t sold many.

Still, fake meat manufacturers continue to battle for market share, and one of their chief weapons is misinformation about how beef is produced, Woodall said. But the facts favor beef.

Data from the Environmental Protection Agency show only 2.16% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions are attributable to beef cattle production. Combine all emissions to get a steak or burger to the plate, and it increased to 3.17%. The nation’s agriculture industry as a whole is only accountable for 10% of total U.S. emissions.

Anti-beef activists assumed methane was cumulative in the atmosphere when it actually recycles, Woodall said From the rumen, it goes into the atmosphere for nine to 12 years and then synthesizes into carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is then used by plants in photosynthesis, and the beef production cycle starts again.

Anti-beef activists also question whether land should be used by cattle instead of growing human-consumed plants. But plowing grasslands would release carbon into the air, the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association counters, and almost half of U.S. land isn’t suitable for cropping.

“But it will grow grass,” Woodall said. “Being able to take that grass and turn it into beef is why we call this a superpower.”

When activists challenge beef on its use of grain, the association notes all the corn used to finish cattle comes from only 1.4% of all U.S. crop acres and 7% of the corn acres, Woodall said.

“It’s all about perspective,” Woodall said. “You have to be able to draw a picture to truly get your point across.”

Woodall noted celebrities who talk about going vegan to save the planet and then fly off in their jet.

“If you avoid just one round-trip transatlantic flight, you would save twice the amount of carbon as eating a plant-based diet for an entire year,” he said. “We also kind of have to be a little pithy in our response.”

The Beef Checkoff and Federation of State Beef Councils have picked up the approach in a new series of beef ads to defend against fake meat.

One ad showing a burger says, “Nicely done, beef. You only need one ingredient to taste like a hamburger.”

Another shows a steak with the line, “Nicely done, beef.

Your taste is always authentic, never synthetic.”

Consumers like to see beef fighting back, Woodall said. And they want information from people they trust.

Cattle raisers rate well in that regard.

“We’re in a time now when people do want to listen,” he said. “They want to hear what we have to say. They want the facts. By being able to provide it, we have helped change the game for us.”

National Cattlemen’s Beef Association often asks if there would be support for a technology that selfreplicates, moves around without using fossil fuels, produces a natural organic fertilizer and can produce high-quality protein from solar energy locked within plants that humans can’t eat.

The amount of land used to produce corn to feed grain-finished cattle is less than the size of the Houston metro area.

he Texas Department of Agriculture has five livestock export facilities located across the state. Each facility provides livestock buyers and sellers with a location on the Texas border where animals can be held until inspection and export requirements are completed. Once the livestock have been cleared for travel, they can be loaded for transport out of the United States.

Livestock leaving the Brownsville, Del Rio, El Paso, and Laredo facilities will be loaded for ground transport into Mexico. The Houston facility moves livestock by air and sea, covering destinations all over the world.

Here at the Texas Department of Agriculture, one of our most important missions is to protect and promote production agriculture here in the Lone Star State. A cornerstone of that mission is to ensure that livestock being exported from our state meets all state and federal guidelines.

The Texas Department of Agriculture export facilities are the gateways for exporting livestock from Texas. From cattle and horses to pigs and poultry, these facilities are tools to help get Texas livestock around the world. Through our export facilities, TDA is committed to not only protecting the transported livestock but also the owners, buyers and brokers.

Exporting livestock may seem daunting. The information we’ve posted on our livestock export facility website, and our facility staff, can help you successfully navigate this process. Please contact us if you have any questions.

C O M PA S S AG S O L U T I O N S is a risk management and consulting firm that provides brokerage services, livestock insurance, and industry-leading software with a mission to improve the profitability of cattle owners for generations to come.

L I V E S T O C K R I S K P R O T E C T I O N is a revamped product that now bears relevance from

the very beginning of beef cattle production through finishing. The dramatic changes to LRP have also made it a substantially more affordable risk management tool for U.S. cattle owners.

We specialize in cattle risk. Unlike generalists in crop insurance, loans, and property and casualty insurance, our team has decades of experience managing cattle risk and transacting our own and other’s cattle in the cash markets.

LRP can be used in solidarity to manage price risk or in combination with traditional CME products and cash contracts. Compass services allow seamless deployment for all these tools.

As a dedicated cattle risk management company, Compass offers substantial advantages vs. those other agencies, including:

Understanding the nuances and ownerspecific opportunities present with LRP Utilizing our extensive operational experience in cattle and in risk management Providing decision support with technology and tools that simply do not exist anywhere else Using CME products to enhance existing LRP strategies and provide greater flexibility around LRP
