EDITOR’S NOTES THE BEEF
Beef is a topic of some contention with both Longhorn enthusiasts and the non-Longhorn world. There are those, even though familiar with the history of the Longhorn as the beef that rebuilt the United States following the Civil War, who loudly proclaim they are not “beef cattle.”
In my 25+ years of being in this association office working on Trails Magazine, here are a few truths about Longhorn beef that are based on talking with breeders actually selling Longhorn beef:
• There are restaurants serving Longhorn beef.
• There are markets that have it on their shelves.
• Many breeders choose to make money from processing their cull animals and selling beef products to be able to finance improving their herd.
• Taste is relative. Even when putting out a good product, there will always be naysayers to overcome. Not everyone likes the same flavor profiles.
• There are breeders from New York state to California, and from Michigan to, of course, Texas that make varying degrees of income streams within their Longhorn breeding program by selling Longhorn beef. One example shared with me is, “It pays for the feed for my whole herd for the year.” Others have stated it has allowed them to invest in better cattle for the top end of their herds.
• Sometimes the cattle market goes up and the sale barn is a viable alternative for culls. Historically, selling an animal by the pound is the maximum dollar one would get for a Longhorn not chosen as worthy to be registered seedstock.
I have watched those who took the time to pursue their regional market thrive selling Longhorn beef. There is plenty of feedback out there from their happy customers who love the product to show it can be successful.
I hope the folks out there who are interested in building Longhorn specific logistical pathways to allow more people to experience Longhorn beef continue to develop ways to sell larger amounts in more mainstream markets.
But, in the meantime, find a processor and talk to them. It may take talking to several and you may have to drive a ways to one that is willing to work with Longhorns and give you the best end product. Process one and feed your family and friends with it. If you like it, then this may be a way to afford to develop your herd in the direction you would like it to go.
If you don’t want to process your animals, you can sell to beef producers who do. Or not. It’s okay to never sell your Longhorns for beef, but they are still beef cattle.
Blessings,

From The TLBAA Chairman
Dear TLBAA Members,
I’m sure many of you feel the same as I do, spring couldn’t come soon enough. The sight of green grass and newborn calves has a way of making us forget those long, cold days and the heavy winter feed bills.
This is an incredibly busy time for our industry. Each week brings multiple shows, sales, and futurities across the country, and it’s exciting to see such strong participation. We’ve already had two consecutive futurities with record-setting entries. The Winchester Futurity, hosted by the TLBAA affiliate Texas Longhorn Breeders Gulf Coast Association, kicked off the year in impressive fashion. Congratulations to the affiliate and all of its members who contributed to such a successful event. Show season is also in full swing, with outstanding events taking place across Texas.
As a board, we have implemented some changes to Trails Magazine aimed at reducing costs while maintaining the quality and frequency our members expect. We recognize how important this publication is, and we are committed to ensuring it continues to serve the membership effectively. Myra Basham, our Editor-in-Chief, is doing an excellent job, and I encourage everyone to submit their content well in advance so we can keep the magazine on schedule each month.
On the financial side, Ryan Veenstra and our accounting team are working diligently through the audit process to keep the association in strong financial standing. I sincerely appreciate the effort and professionalism they’ve shown, as this has been no small undertaking.
As I enter my fourth month serving as Chairman, I hope I’ve been able to assist those who have reached out with questions, concerns, or ideas. I always welcome your emails and input. Your feedback is vital as we continue working together to move this great breed forward.
Best of luck to everyone during this busy show, sale, and futurity season.
Thanks,
TLBAA Chairman of the Board

The Importance of Blogging in the Age of AI
Did you know that blogging as a marketing tool may now be more important than ever, even if you think no one will read it?
Back in 2018 Cathy Valle of GVR Longhorns started a Texas Longhorn Cattle Blog. At that time, there was far less written information readily available about Texas longhorn cattle. There was also no Instagram, no TikTok , and no Artificial Intelligence (AI) The ‘landscape’ has changed, yet Cathy maintains there is still a place for blogs now, perhaps, more than ever before.
A quick AI search reveals these statistics:
• There are currently over 600 million blogs which make up almost a third of all websites on the internet.
• 3 billion blog posts are published every year with a daily average of 8 million posts a day.
• And, according to wix.com, 4 in 5 internet users (80%) regularly read blogs.
We attribute these benefits to our blog as follows,
• First page visibility on Google.
• High rankings for our GVR Longhorns website.
• Low annual Marketing budget.
• Continued brand exposure for GVR Longhorns.
• A permanent resource for the industry and others. Some of our oldest articles still get 1000’s of hits every month.
• Most importantly – profitable annual sales.
Blogs build content and AI relies on the informational content a blog supplies. Success is not difficult to achieve and is not out of reach as long as a few guidelines are considered:
A blog must have a strategy. The information conveyed should be authentic, valid and worth reading. In addition, how content is communicated makes all the difference and is often more influential and critical than the message itself.
A blog requires structure. Very few people read everything on a page. Bold headings, good pictures and short paragraphs help keep readers interested. Therefore, information is important but keeping readers interested is the key.
A blog requires passion. If you are passionate about your Longhorns and your message, your followers will feel your emotion and find you. Finally, a blog requires commitment. Just like post-
ing on social media needs to be consistent, posting articles regularly, will help in mastering the algorithms to gain visibility.
“I believe that our blog was initiated out of a necessity.”
In the beginning, we sold our calves at the local Sale barn. However, sending them to the Sale barn became more difficult and here’s why.
For many years, our family raised heritage livestock. We bred a herd of Sanga cattle ( the oldest breed of cattle) and a flock of Pedi sheep. We therefore appreciated the historical significance of Texas longhorn cattle as well as their genetic influence. Paul had identified specific characteristics and had a sonic approach to what he wanted his herd to look like.
What we were not prepared for, was the unique bond that we developed with each of our Longhorns. We felt like we had to ensure the best homes for all our baby calves.
Building our Texas Longhorn Cowmoonity became a passion and I started spreading the message with the blog. Many friends said I was wasting my time and to be honest, the idea is still a little overwhelming at times. However, since writing the first post in April of 2018, we have only looked ahead. The blog has created a guarantee for us that our Longhorns will not only be loved and admired but that they will sell to good homes.
As most know, the Texas longhorn gene pool is small. Generally, the genetics that have swayed the Longhorn industry trends are not obvious in our herd. We strive to maintain horn twist over TTT measurements. Sometimes we get both! Nowadays, the genetics we have in our herd are more difficult to come by.
As we move into a new phase of life, we are simplifying our lifestyle and we have reduced our herd. For the first time ever, we are excited to offer our foundation genetics on auction. We have chosen to do so at the Glendenning’s Fiesta Sale on May 1 & 2, 2026. The Glendennings appreciate the significance of these genetics. GVR Dusty is a 4th generation cow on our ranch. Her great granddam was bred by YO ranch. Her 2023 heifer, GVR Fairydust is sired by RJF Texas Rebel. Both are bred to an up and coming young bull, Silver Stage Coach C4 (Hubbell’s Butch Cassidy x Silver Marilyn). Dusty’s TTT is 92”. Her progeny are consistently wider horned. Fairydust is following in the hoof prints of all her siblings and has already surpassed her dam in TTT measurements at the same age.
GRASS-FINISHED BEEF
In past years, most people in the U.S. came to believe that cattle must be finished on grain in order to provide an excellent eating experience, and with the advent of feed-lots, animals could be “finished” at a younger age.
Most countries around the world, however, finish cattle on grass, and many of them do a great job of it. As grass-fed beef has begun to gain popularity in the U.S. for health reasons, a growing number of producers are moving into niche marketing to supply the desired grass-fed products. Stockmen in this country are beginning to re-learn the key aspects of what it takes to produce a good grass-finished beef animal.
Kathy Panner, a beef producer near Riddle, Oregon, raises grass-fed beef. “I remember reading Joel Salatin’s advice when we first started. He told people to make sure they had a quality product to sell. He said to grow some, eat some yourself, give some to your neighbors and see if they come back and ask for more. You need to find out if you actually have a product that somebody wants. We’ve found some grass-fed beef in the stores that is poor quality—basically not edible. You need to find out if you can create a quality product,” she says.
The next thing is to decide whether you’ll try to fin-
ish cattle year round, having animals finishing at all times of the year, or just seasonally when your grass is best. In many parts of the U.S., the grass is not good enough to finish beef except during the months it is actively green and growing.
“Most of the country does not have the proper climate for year-round grass finishing. We can’t even do it here in the Northwest. There are very small pockets of the country that enable you to do it year-round on a fresh basis. You might be able to market it year-round by harvesting the animals during the optimal months and freezing/storing the beef for later marketing,” explains Panner.
You also need to decide if you want to direct-market your product (which requires a lot of time and effort, and a cooperating slaughter plant) or sell it to a branded beef program that does the slaughtering and marketing for you.
TIMING IS CRUCIAL
“To finish well, cattle have to be gaining at least 2 pounds a day during that last 120 days. If you are trying to finish cattle on pasture, you have to look at your climate and determine which 120 days of the year can provide pasture of this quality. Irrigation can extend
this period of time,” she says.
“The first thing to ask yourself is what time of year you can finish animals. If you want them to gain 2.5 pounds a day for 120 days, do the math and arrive at the start of that period with an animal large enough to finish in that length of time,” she explains.
“That’s where more people run into trouble. Their management system is set up to get the animal to 900 pounds at the end of their best season of grazing, rather than at the start of the best grass. In order for this animal to spend his finishing time at home on pasture, you have to get him to that stage at the beginning of when you’d have 120 days of really good pasture,” she ex-plains.
This is very challenging for a lot of grass-fed operations. You have to think about when to calve, and how you are going to get the weaned calves through winter. “Any time you start to manipulate your resource dramatically, to do something like this, you run into trouble with Mother Nature because you will get out of sync and somewhere along the line it’s not going to work very well. You need to think this through and figure out how you can do it,” says Panner.
“We are fortunate here in our part of Oregon that we have very mild winters. We calve in March, and by the following March, if we take good care of our calves after weaning, they will hit this crucial period of time at about 800 to 900 pounds. Then we’ll have the necessary 120 days of really good pasture to finish them. Those calves can be finished by the time they are 16 to 17 months of age,” says Panner.

and orchardgrass. They have gained well through the winter and can go to pasture at a weight that they can make it by summer,” Panner says.
“Know what the requirements are, to be qualified as grass fed. The USDA has a specific criteria now for the term grass-fed, and it’s about 5 pages long”. This is part of the homework you need to do.
PAY ATTENTION TO THE GRASS
“In order to get an animal finished to the point of quality eating experience, forage must have energy levels similar to a feedlot diet. You need high-energy pastures. At the finishing stage, the animals have to be able to eat all they want of a high quality pasture, and the limiting factor will be energy,” Panner says.
“A fast-growing short, green pasture will be very high in protein but very low in energy. You need to be looking at using something like an annual ryegrass or perennial ryegrass mixed with clover, in a pasture 6 to 8 inches tall. At this height, the animal can reach with the tongue and take a full, big mouthful with every bite. It has to be easy; they can’t be working hard to get full,” says Panner.
HARVEST ANIMALS AT THE RIGHT TIME
Finishing at optimum age/weight and season of year for best flavor and tenderness can be a challenge when producing grass-finished beef, especially in a northern climate. Fat content and flavor/ tenderness is ideal when animals are butchered while pastures are at their peak, rather than in fall when forage plants decline in carbohydrate levels, or during winter in a region where you have to feed hay. For this reason, it may be most practical to raise small-tomoderate-framed animals that mature and finish sooner than larger-framed breeds or crosses, finishing more readily on grass. Some of the larger breeds just keep growing. Also, many customers who buy a whole, half or quarter of a beef directly from the producer may prefer a smaller carcass; it will fit more readily in their freezer. But the specific breed is not as important as individual body type. You can select for good grass-finishing type in nearly any beef breed.
“But everything has to be working well, every step of the way, to do this. The cows have to be doing a good job raising their calves. Then you have to supply the calves with an adequate diet through the winter so they continue to gain well. Then they hit the grass at just the right time. It took us about 15 years to figure out how to do this just right,” she says.
“A lot of ranches don’t have adequate pasture during the winter to keep the cattle on good feed. It is very difficult to get cattle to finish on any kind of a stored forage that qualifies for grass fed. You can feed hay, and you can feed silage—as long as it’s not corn silage—but it takes very high quality silage or hay to get cattle to gain enough through winter,” she explains.
“You can do it on pasture, however. Our calves have been finishing their time on pasture, eating alfalfa
Some forage species are more energy-dense than others, containing higher levels of sugars. Beef producers around the world have been utilizing some of these species in grass-fed beef production, using forages instead of grain for finishing beef animals.
Dan Undersander, Extension and Forage Agronomist, University of Wisconsin, says ryegrass is one of the most energy-dense grasses, used all over the world and in parts of the U.S. “The main issue with ryegrass it that it lacks winter hardiness. In the northern half of the U.S., it will die out most winters and would there-
fore need to be re-planted annually. In the southern half it can persist and be a perennial forage,” he says.
“Ryegrass is the single forage that is higher in quality than anything else. The ryegrasses vary in energy density from Italian (with the highest sugar levels) which some people call annuals, to the perennials, and then there are crosses between the two. There is research developing some high sugar types, but we can finish beef on pasture whether or not we have these high sugar types. The main thing is to have adequate forage and graze it at an early stage of growth when nutrient levels are highest,” says Undersander.
“We can finish beef on many kinds of forage, as long as it is grazed at a stage when it is leafy, immature and high in quality, with adequate density of stand that the cattle can take big bites.”
You need a type of forage that will grow well in your climate. “Annual rye-grass is ideal, but we can also produce good beef on pasture with perennial forages like tall fescues and orchard-grass. Ryegrasses need a cool, wet environment and won’t work for hot or arid regions. In those environments we have several other choices,” he says.
“In looking at annuals, the sorghum/sudan grasses are a good choice for finishing cattle, particularly the brown midrib types. These annuals will grow in warmer weather. They’re not the best choice in northern
states but work well in southern climates. In order to get good productivity for these grasses, however, we need 20 to 30 inches of water annually. They would be most appropriate for the wetter regions of the West, Midwest and South, or for irrigated pastures. In dry land across the West where we have less than 20 inches of rain, we might look at permanent pasture and some of the range grasses. We can do some nice finishing of beef on buffalo grass, which is a short-growing perennial grass on the high plains of Texas and Oklahoma. The best species to use will vary from region to region. The main thing is use species adapted to the local environment and then harvest or graze them at an appropriate stage when they are high in quality,” he explains.
“We can finish beef on many kinds of forage, as long as it is grazed at a stage when it is leafy, immature and high in quality, with adequate density of stand that the cattle can take big bites. Cattle take about one bite per second and will graze for a few hours a day and take 30,000 bites or so. If those are big bites and the forage is high in quality, the cattle will gain weight. If they are small bites and/or low in quality, then they won’t finish as well,” he explains.

Giving Injections Properly and Ensuring Beef Safety
Cattle are often given injections—vaccines, antibiotics, medications to help reduce inflammation, injectable vitamins or minerals, etc. These should always be administered properly in order to minimize residues, injection site lesions and reduce the risks for reactions and side effects. Withdrawal times should also be followed, to make sure there is no residue left in the meat by the time the animal is slaughtered
Dr. George M. Barrington (Professor, Agricultural Animal Clinic Services, Washington State University) says Beef Quality Assurance programs have worked very well in helping educate stockmen about the importance of proper injections. “BQA has become more important to producers and veterinarians, to ensure that we are producing a wholesome product, and to decrease the chances of drug residues and lessen the chance of lesions that result in cutouts in the carcass, or meat blemishes,” he says.
“The BQA program has been followed closely by companies producing vaccines and antibiotics. More and more companies are formulating vaccine products that allow for subcutaneous administration, and reduce the need for intramuscular injections. There are also some intranasal products,” he says.
“Similarly, with antimicrobials, most of these no longer have to be given intramuscularly. Flunixin meglumine (Banamine and generic equivalents--which apart from aspirin is the only NSAID actually labeled for use in cattle in the U.S.) should be given intravenously, to avoid residue issues. Giving it SubQ or IM is not an option for cattle producers, but today there is also a topical formulation,” he says.
lems with tissue damage or abscesses in the best cuts of meat.
Beware bent needles.
It can be difficult to give all injections in the neck, when animals have leeway to stick their heads down under the next cow in an alleyway, or to ram backward and forward in squeeze chutes. The newer chutes with neck extenders are helpful, reducing the risk of having your hand/arm injured, syringes smashed or needles bent or broken.
“Handling facilities have improved a lot in the past 2 decades, as has general education of stockmen in proper ways to inject cattle. It might save time and money during cattle-working to do it the old way, but you may pay for it later,” says Barrington. Intramuscular injections may lead to problems at the packing plant or with custom meat processing (to sell direct to a consumer), with excessive trim, or condemned carcasses.
“We also prefer to put all subcutaneous products in the neck,” says Barrington. Occasionally, on a small calf if you are giving multiple “shots” and don’t have enough neck area, you could inject under the loose skin in front of or behind the shoulder. The important thing is to never put any injections into the hindquarters. The rump was the traditional location for intramuscular injections—because it was the easiest place to reach when processing a lot of cattle through a runway. It was much easier to inject the hindquarters than trying to work around the head, but also created prob-
“The time spent to administer products properly, in a site that will enhance rather than hinder Beef Quality Assurance, is definitely worthwhile,” he says. You don’t want to lose a customer because they bit into a nasty blemish or abscess in an otherwise nice cut of meat.
The Beef Quality Assurance program entails a great deal more than just injection techniques. Some of the many topics addressed include best management practices, care and handling of cattle, transportation of cattle, etc. Most producers recognize that these recommendations are in their best interests.
“Voluntary regional programs are outstanding and we hope more producers will take advantage of them and use them. Our goal is to get as many people aware of this as possible, so we can produce the best quality meat, and safest for the consumer. It’s an advantage to the producer, and also to the consumer,” he says.
Some of the things that are important when giving injections are choosing appropriate needle size and length for the product being given, taking the injection site into consideration. Calves have thinner skin than adult cattle and often a smaller diameter needle can be used for calves. “If the needle is too large, there’s more
pain, and more chance of the product leaking back out through the larger hole,” he says.
“Needle size is dependent on many things, including consistency/thickness of the product being injected. Some are thicker, and hard to force through a small needle,” says Barrington. It will take too long to give the injection, or you may have to apply so much pressure that the needle and syringe “blow” apart on some types of syringes. If a product is more fluid (less viscous/ thick), a smaller gauge needle can typically be used.
“It’s also important to not inject through dirty hide. Make sure the site is clean and dry. I compare this to a human getting a flu shot; the physician would not give the injection through a dirty shirt or coat. If you inject an animal through a manurecovered hide, you run a bigger risk of more reactions or infections,” Barrington says.
or angle the needle appropriately so it doesn’t go into the muscle.
“When injecting a lot of cattle in a short time, it’s easier to use a shorter needle, placed at proper angle so there is minimal chance of entering muscle. Longer needles increase the chance that the product won’t be deposited subcutaneously,” he says.
“We know that certain products tend to have more reactions. With others, it’s rare to see an issue even if you inject through a dirty hide. But with some products, unless the site is extremely clean, you are almost guaranteed to have a problem. Some reactions can be related to the product as well as to the injection technique,” he says.
“As a general rule, always try to inject into a clean, dry area. Injecting through a dirty hide is asking for trouble. It may save you 10 seconds when you do, but could result in a lot of time spent treating an animal if it gets an abscess,” says Barrington.
“When vaccinating a group of cattle, it’s best to change needles and use a new one for each animal, but very few people do this. There are some blood-borne diseases that can be transmitted from animal to animal via needles, and our goal is to not do this, by utilizing proper technique and new needles for each animal. But with multiple-dose syringes this is less feasible; they are famous for increasing the potential for transmitting diseases—everything from bovine leucosis virus to anaplasmosis,” says Barrington.
When using multi-dose syringes, at least take time to change needles every time you refill the syringe. Then the needle is more likely to be sharp. A dull needle creates more pain and tissue damage.
“It might be harder to use a longer, 1½ inch needle when giving a SubQ injection with a multi-dose syringe than a shorter needle. With longer needles you have to pick up a pinch of skin to slip the needle in underneath,” he explains. Thus you have to be a little more careful in how you give the injection, taking time to tent the skin
When giving multiple injections to one animal, don’t put them close together; they should be spaced several inches apart or on different sides of the neck, for minimal risk of side effects.
“If the label for an antimicrobial says to deposit no more than a certain volume in one site, this is for a reason. There’s more likelihood of tissue residues if you put more than the recommended volume in one site,” says Barrington. The product may also be slower absorbing than it should be.
“Residues are a big concern, so it’s important to follow label directions. Every time you inject an animal there is possibility of more reaction, so to minimize this you need proper restraint, proper needle size, and proper technique, so you can administer the appropriate amount in the appropriate number of locations. If you have an 1800 pound bull that needs a large volume of a certain product, you definitely need to follow label directions,” he explains.
“Be systematic in how you give injections, and keep records. It helps if you consistently give a certain vaccine product at the same site, for instance. Knowing that you give product A in the left side of the neck, rather than randomly giving it on either side, will help you identify what might have caused a reaction, if a reaction occurs. Record keeping for the producer (combined with a system of giving certain products at certain locations on the animals) would be very helpful in determining which product may have resulted in a reaction. If you don’t know where you gave the shot, you wouldn’t be able to determine which product was associated with a problem,” he says.
“Education through the BQA program is very important, and has a wide range of benefits—from the animals, to the producers, to the consumers,” he says.
More information regarding the Beef Quality Assurance program, including the various programs in specific regions of the country, can be obtained by visiting “http://www.bqa.org” www.bqa.org or by contacting your local extension office, land grant university or veterinarian.

Respiratory Infections in Calves
BRD (Bovine Respiratory Disease) is a major cause of economic loss for cattle producers, in treatments and death loss. BRD can involve the upper respiratory system, which includes the sinuses, nostrils, throat and windpipe (trachea) and/or the lower respiratory tract (lungs), causing pneumonia.
Infection/inflammation of the upper respiratory tract can cause rhinitis, tracheitis, bronchitis or a head cold. When viruses or bacteria infect the sinuses, there will usually be a nasal discharge and possibly coughing or fever. Nasal discharge may be clear, mucus, or it may contain pus.
Respiratory diseases gener ally are due to a combination of factors including stress which compromises the respiratory defenses and infection with one or more respiratory virus es. Viral infection and the host animal’s response further com promise the animal’s defenses, allowing more pathogens to enter and colonize the deep er pulmonary tissues. Pneu monia is generally caused by bacteria normally found in the nasopharynx; the viral infection opens the way for the bacteria penetrate the respiratory tract deeper, to set up shop in the lungs.
followed—as replacement heifers—through their productive life. The study proved that the animals that were shortchanged a little on amount or quality of colostrum didn’t do as well. Even though they seemed healthy, their production wasn’t the same as those that had everything perfect,” says Meyring.
It’s the same thing with beef calves. “We know colostrum is important, but maybe we don’t emphasize it enough. We could make our weaning respiratory problems easier to deal with if we can take better care of those calves at birth and make sure they all have optimum colostrum as babies. This starts by making sure our cows are well vaccinated, with high level of immunity, so the colostrum has a high level of antibodies.”
The respiratory diseases that are always around and keep frustrating us can be headed off better if we can start with good colostrum from the cows. “Most producers are always looking for a one-shot wonder, and we certainly have a lot of good tools, but if we can start when that calf is born, this can probably help us the most,” he says.
Dr. Lee Meyring, a veterinarian in a cow/calf practice near Steamboat Springs, Colorado says ranchers often ask if there is anything new or better for treatment or prevention of these costly diseases. “Really there’s not much that’s new. We have to deal with the same old challenges and mainly need to think about what we can do differently to address these things. One thing that we know is important but sometimes need reminders is that if we can make sure newborn calves get good quality colostrum as soon as possible, this can be huge in protecting calves from many diseases, including respiratory problems,” he says.
The colostrum, with its important antibodies, not only gives the calves temporary (passive) immunity during the first weeks of life, but can make a difference in later performance. “Research has shown that this can set up those animals for their entire life for better health and production. Some of those studies have been very fascinating, in dairy calves where they can have total control on how much colostrum they get, and when, and what quality it is. The calves in these studies were divided into different groups and were
Nutrition is also important to health—for both the cow (so she can make the best colostrum) and the calf. “This includes all the important vitamins and minerals that are important for a strong immune system. In some regions where copper deficiency is an issue, or selenium, we need to make sure the cattle have an adequate mineral supplement. What we’ve seen, even with a good oral mineral program (such as free-choice salt-mineral mixes) is that sometimes we don’t know if cattle are consuming it or getting enough of it. There are many recommendations about using an injectable trace mineral produce like Multimin at times the immune system might be compromised by stress.”
Some people give an injectable trace-mineral product to calves at branding age (or whenever they give calf-hood vaccinations, if they don’t brand their calves), or when giving preconditioning vaccines ahead of weaning. “This gives those calves a better chance to respond to the vaccination,” he says.
“I was recently talking to a producer in Nebraska who has a lot of calves and he’s seen that even the timing of vaccines can make a difference, in reducing
stress and giving calves a better chance to mount good immunity. Sometimes you don’t have that luxury, but if you can, it is best to choose a nice day rather than a wet day with bad weather. That producer has seen a big difference when they can back off and wait for a better day, rather than doing it a certain day regardless.” When you compound various stresses, the calves have less chance for good response to vaccine.

and then a booster before weaning, and again at weaning; this is still the standard prevention,” he says. This gives the most chance to build a strong immunity.
The respiratory diseases that are always around and keep frustrating us can be headed off better if we can start with good colostrum from the cows.
“There are so many things we can’t control, but there are some little things that we can, and it pays to do what we can. If it’s hot, dry and dusty when we’re going to work cattle for their vaccinations, or run them through and wean the calves, we could take time to figure out how to get a little water into those pens and maybe sprinkle and settle the dust in our facilities to minimize that stress.” Dust can also irritate the respiratory passages and open the way for pathogens. If your weaning corral is dusty, those stressed calves that are milling around bawling for mom will have more risk.
“Anything we can do to stack the odds in our favor can help those calves. With preconditioning vaccines, we’ve learned that we need to give those at least two weeks and preferably three to four weeks before weaning. This gives the immune system more time to build peak immunity before the stress of weaning,” says Meyring.
Even the way you wean can make a difference. Fenceline weaning or two-stage weaning with nose flaps (where the calves can stay with their mothers for about a week but can’t nurse) are less stressful than “cold turkey” weaning in a corral with the cows taken away somewhere.
“Sometimes people think we are over-vaccinating calves, but if we can spread it out we can get good results; we can make sure calves can start building immunity to the respiratory viruses and some of the bacteria that can cause problems-by vaccinating at branding time,
In some situations, however, cattle can still be vulnerable. “We might look at them and don’t think they are sick, and then they die and the veterinarian examines the lungs and we realize they were very sick. I recently worked with a producer who raises a few show calves and one them was obviously sick. I suggested we run them all through and check their temperatures, so we ran about 8 head through the chute and every one of them had some degree of elevated temperature. Just to look at them, we’d probably have let them go another day or two without worrying about treatment, but in the face of an outbreak it’s better to treat early,” says Meyring.
Cattle are stoic and tough and sometimes you don’t realize they are sick unless you look closely, or get them up and move them around to see if they cough, or check their temperatures.

Hello ev y e!
Presidents Message
Howdy! Happy spring everyone! We’re getting closer and closer to my favorite season, temperatures are warming up, things are blooming and World Show will be creeping up before we know it. School-wise, we’re almost done seniors! I am so excited to share that I will be attending Texas A&M University-College Station this summer, and will transition into fall as a freshman student! This new journey will be a change, but I cannot wait to be an Aggie!!
This publication of the Texas Longhorn Trails is: Longhorn beef! Texas Longhorn beef is a testament to the strength of our breed, representing the hardiness of our cattle all while producing lean, low fat content beef. It contributes to the market as a specialty beef, with consumers buying it for healthy replacement of regular meat. Although it makes up a smaller share of modern beef production, Longhorn meats remain an important source of flavor, and diversity of the beef production worldwide.
I wish everyone good luck while we continue on our show and futurity season this spring, as well as the various Texas Longhorn sales soon!

How long have you been showing?
- I have been showing longhorns for 9 years
What are you looking forward to most this year?
- This year I’m most looking forward to moving on to the next chapter of my life. While showing has been an important part of my journey, I’m excited to take the lessons I’ve learned and apply them to new opportunities ahead. I’m especially excited about continuing my education and pursuing the goals I’ve set for my future.
Who has been your favorite longhorn to show?
- My favorite Longhorn I’ve ever shown was G&L Quanah Parker He was very special to me because of the experiences we shared together in the show ring. The bond you build with an animal you work with every day makes those moments even more meaningful, and showing him created some of my favorite memories.
What are your plans after high school?
- After high school, I plan to attend Weatherford College to complete my basic courses. After that, I plan to transfer to Tarleton State University where I will earn my bachelor’s degree in psychology. My goal is to then attend Texas Christian University to receive my master’s degree in counseling. I want to become a counselor who specifically works with international adoptees. Being internationally adopted myself has given me a unique perspective and understanding of the challenges adoptees can face. My goal is to help others navigate their identities, experiences, and emotions while giving them the support and guidance they need.

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
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.

HORN SHOWCASE FUTURITY
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.
• Animals must measure in at least one measurement class to participate in Futurity as well as be eligible for a Superior Award.
• 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.
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.
ULTIMATE COW & BULL AWARD

• Animals must be present in Oklahoma City to be eligible.
• Ballots will be available at the TLBAA desk during the event for voting.

Richard Dean Carlson
January 17, 1944 — December 31, 2025
Richard Dean Carlson, 81, of St. Marys, Kansas, passed away on Wednesday (December 31, 2025) at St. Marys Manor.
Born January 17, 1944 in Wamego, Kansas, Richard was the son of Carl LeRoy and Ella (Caudill) Carlson. He married Cheryl Jean Siegle on April 17, 1965 in Westmoreland, Kansas. She survives.
Richard served his country as a First Lieutenant in the U. S. Army and Army National Guard. He was a graduate of St. Mary’s High School and earned his Bachelors Degree from Kansas State University and later graduated from the School of Banking with the University of Colorado.
Richard dedicated his life to serving his community, building a career in agriculture, banking, and local enterprise before serving Pottawatomie County as a Commissioner and later in the Kansas House of Representatives from 2005–2015, where he chaired the House Taxation Committee.
In 2016, he was appointed Kansas Secretary of Transportation, leading KDOT and the Kansas Turnpike Authority until retiring in 2019.
Richard was not only a life time member of the TLBAA, he was extremely active for years. He was first elected to Treasurer of the TLBAA followed by serving as Vice President and then President. At one point he was the longest serving Board Member. Over the years he judged cattle all over the United States and a time or two in Canada. He especially enjoyed announcing the finals of the National Steer Show at the arena in Ft. Worth.
Richard was an amazing business man, an avid gunsmith who enjoyed restoring antique guns, a talented woodworker, a cowboy at heart, and a true family man. He loved working with his hands and took special pride in making things for his grandchildren—pieces that will be treasured long after he is gone. Those projects weren’t just hobbies to him; they were another way he showed his love.
He was also instrumental in forming the youth organization and the development of the youth show system.
Survivors include his wife, Cheryl; two sons, Brian Daniel Carlson (Tami Benes) of St. Marys, KS and Richard Douglas Carlson (Kody) of St. Marys, KS; six grandchildren, Jericka Barber (Aaron), Jordan Carlson, Wyatt Carlson (Loren), Bailey Carlson, Kasey Carlson, Kimber Carlson; ten great grandchildren, Paislee Dieter, Bronx Jones, Lindale Carlson, Lane Carlson, Stran Carlson, Kiera Barber, Brooklyn Gama Easton Barber, Bowen Barber and Ryatt Barber; and several nieces and nephews.
Richard was preceded in death by his parents; and a brother, Carl L. Carlson.
Funeral services were held January 6, 2026 in Wamego with the Rev. Dr. Tony Mattia officiating.

James “Jim” Edgar Warren
February 20, 1931 — February 2, 2026
James “Jim” Edgar Warren, 94, of George West, Texas, went home to be with the Lord on Monday, February 2, 2026.
Jim was born February 20, 1931 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the son of George Edgar Warren and Emily Amanda (Petty) Warren.
Jim graduated from Corpus Christi Senior High (now known as Roy Miller) in 1948; he then worked a few jobs before joining the Air Force on December 19, 1950. Jim served in the Air Force until 1954, most of his service being in Honshu, Japan on the Johnson Air Force Base. He then attended Texas A&I in Kingsville, working towards a degree in animal husbandry. This is where, in Papa’s words, “I saw a beautiful girl walking to go eat on campus and this is where I met the love of my life, Joyce.” Jim married Joyce Elaine Lauderback on June 1, 1958 at the George West Methodist Church. They were married for 55 years before Joyce entered the arms of Christ in May of 2013. Jim and Joyce were members of the George West Methodist Church for over 50 years, where Jim was part of the choir.
Jim worked at the USDA Soil Conservation Service where he eventually became an archeologist. He held many titles in his life. He was the first Archeologist for the Soil Conservation Service nationwide, Ranch Manager of the Longfellow Ranches, President of the Texas Longhorn Cattle Breeders Association, President of the Texas Archeological Society, and President of the George West Lions Club. Jim also served as Chairman of the Grace Armantrout Museum Board of Trustees here in George West, as well as Archeology Chair for Live Oak County Historical Commission. Aside from the many contributions Jim has contributed to Live Oak County, he also was in charge of the archeological dig on Calliham before Choke Canyon was placed between Three Rivers and Tilden. He worked right up to the age of 82 with his last job being an archeological dig in Laredo.
Jim had a passion for history, fishing, old Hispanic culture, writing, singing, woodwork, and dabbling in bronze statues. He wrote two books, The Fort Merrill Letters and The Falls of Miquihuana. He loved his work on dig sites as an archeologist. He once stated, “It’s like a kid on Christmas – never know what you’re going to get.”
Remaining to cherish Jim’s memory are his sons Wade (Tammi) Warren and T.E. Warren; grandchildren, Starla (Christian) Harber, Samantha (Clayton) Sebesta, Kayce (Cody) Oxford, Colton (Kelsey) Warren, Jayme (Tyler) Bruce; greatgrandchildren Randon Sebesta, Cale and Kullen Oxford, John and James Warren, and Wayden, Wylie and Waverly Bruce.
Preceding Jim in death is his wife Joyce Elaine Warren, father George Edgar Warren, mother Emily Amanda Petty Warren, mother-in-law Myrtle Lauderback, father- in- law John Travis Lauderback, brother- in- laws Doyle Davis, Herbert Rudolph, and Leon “Buddy” Hollan.
Funeral services were held February 13, 2026, at the George West Methodist Church. In lieu of flowers, donations in Jim’s memory may be directed to Grace Armantrout Museum, P.O. Box 1351, George West, TX 78022.
This passage was written by Jim in a “Last Request” letter he left his family: “I want everyone to know that I have had a wonderful life! A loving wife who took good care of me for over 54 years, two of the best sons a man could ever hope for, a bunch of wonderful grandkids, great-grandkids, and son and daughter-in-laws. I had the pleasure of working over 40 years at a job that I immensely enjoyed at which I made a decent living for my family. God blessed me and my family with good health and now it’s time to say, “Adios” and I’ll see you all in heaven!! Love to all, Papa”
2025 Rodger Damrow Colorful Calf Corrections
In the March 2026 edition of Trails Magazine we featured the entries into the 2025 Colorful Calf Contest. The first calf below was listed with an incorrect spelling on both the sire and owner’s names. The rest of the calves shown were sent in for the contest but were missed. Trails Magazine apologizes for the errors.
