The Building Fund is closer than ever to reaching it's initial goal of $600,000. In order to begin construction, the organization needs to raise $175,000. Every donation counts, there is no such thing as a donation that is too small or too large.

We love for our breeders to give promotional memberships to their prospective buyers!
These promotional memberships are good for 3 months and will hopefully encourage new breeders to join the TLBAA. When giving a promotional membership, it is important to ask if the account should be set up with ranch name or in the member’s name. If possible, we would like to have an address, telephone numbers, and an email address.
Please take the opportunity of not only selling your animals, but to also mentor these new promotional members and offer them your wealth of knowledge and information about the Texas Longhorns.
Let us know if we can help with this process. Call Rick or Dana with questions at (817) 625-6241.

The key to reducing this stress is to spread out the stressors. That’s the essence of a pre-weaning program – it gets the calves prepared for stress well before the stress actually occurs. And with today’s high-value calves, now is the time to take a close look at the products and procedures available that can help reduce stress and improve calf health and productivity.
