The digitally formatted version of the
TCFA Cattle Feeders Resource Guide will
be updated throughout the year at
www.tcfa.org.
I am excited to serve as the 2014 TCFA Chairman
and feel privileged to have the opportunity to participate
at this prestigious level within the Association. Being
asked to serve in this role, especially at a fairly young
age, is a huge honor, and I am committed to making the
necessary strides to ensure that our members know their
value to our organization and that their needs continue to
be met.
As Chairman, I look forward to getting out and taking some driving tours to visit many of our feedyard
members, especially those in the southern part of the
TCFA area, that may not see as many TCFA faces in their
year of production. It is my goal to make sure they, as
well as the feedyards closer to home, know how much we
appreciate their membership and that their dues are being
put to good use.
Our industry has undergone some shifting here
recently, and I am aware some feedyards have changed
hands, so I want to make sure we are letting new owners
and operators know that TCFA is always here for them
and working on their behalf.
TCFA offers a variety of programs and services meant
to help our members in all aspects of their business. In
today’s world, with the challenges we face every day as
an industry, TCFA services in the areas of Safety, Human
Resources, Environmental, Legislative and the Market
help lighten a burden we would otherwise face alone. I
encourage you to take advantage of these services that are
sure to benefit your operations.
TCFA is a great member organization, and there’s
probably not another one like it out there that does a
better job for its members. I believe the strength of our
organization comes from the fact that we don’t try to be
everything to everyone. We maintain our focus on cattle
feeding issues only.
In general, TCFA is doing a fantastic job, and they’re
doing it with a reduced budget and staff. The tightening
of the belt, so to speak, has been going on for several years
with the drought and declining feeder supplies, and the
Association continues to do a spectacular job.
I’m not assuming the role of TCFA Chairman with
a huge platform or a major “fix-this, fix-that” campaign.
The cattle feeding industry continues to take on a number
of demanding issues that make owning a business in agriculture, especially animal ag, more challenging with each
passing day.
With that being said, we have the finest industry representation available to feedyards, and your involvement
in this organization is crucial. Get involved. Join a committee. Be a part of the conversation. You have the power
to make a difference.

“We had fewer retreats
with Zuprevo. And no cattle
treated with Zuprevo ended
up as a mortality.”
Bryan Mussard Joined the Zuprevolution
Bryan knows a thing or two about caring for cattle. He runs 11,000 head a year
through his feeding facility. Last year, Bryan’s veterinarian suggested that he try
Zuprevo™ (tildipirosin). And he liked the results — a lot.
“We’re developing cattle, not running a hospital. We didn’t lose any Zuprevo
cattle and we didn’t have to retreat. No relapses reduces stress, and improves
feed efficiency and health. With Zuprevo, our customers are happy and we’re
happy doing other things besides retreating.”
Ask your veterinarian to prescribe Zuprevo for the treatment of BRD and for the
control of respiratory disease in cattle at high risk of developing BRD.

CHAIRMAN’S PROFILE
Jason Hitch
By Kayla Lanford
The 2014 TCFA Chairman is eager to lead and devoted to preserving his family’s influence and legacy in production agriculture.
The Man
Fifth generation agriculturalist and businessman, Jason
Hitch, the 2014 TCFA Chairman, exemplifies undeniable
work ethic, leadership and drive, which stems from a long
line of pioneers in the agriculture industry.
Jason has fond memories of growing up in one of the old
homestead houses on his family’s working ranch, where as a
young boy, he played in the cattle pens and rode horseback
with his brother, cousins and the farmhands’ children.
“My brother and I grew up in a very beef oriented family.
That was our business, so I’ve been around feedyards all
my life,” Jason said. “We grew up with a family legacy in
agriculture.”
This year marks 130 years of production agriculture for
the Hitch family, and from an early age, Jason knew he would
carry on the family tradition.
James K. Hitch commenced the family legacy in 1884
when he drove a herd of Longhorns from Kansas to the
Oklahoma Panhandle, settling near what is now the city of
Guymon.
20
James and his son, Henry C. Hitch, grazed cattle over
those same ranges for nearly 70 years before James’ grandson,
H.C. “Ladd” Hitch, Jr., established one of the Southwest’s
first large-scale cattle feeding operations, Henry C. Hitch
Feedlot.
Ladd’s son, Paul, became the visionary who successfully
directed Hitch Enterprises for several decades and was
instrumental in the family’s diversification into pork
production in the 90s. Paul’s passion, however, was in
producing high quality beef, which he instilled in his two
sons, Jason and Chris.
“My dad was a big intellectual who spent a lot of time
thinking about the mechanics of our industry and our
individual business,” Jason said. “He tended to be more of a
strategic thinker, and in his actual day-to-day management
of the company, he was very conservative. In his big picture
view, though, he tended to be pretty bold.”
Jason credits his father, who lived by the mantra, “Those
who show up make the decisions,” for setting him on a path
of industry involvement that led him where he is today.
21
“He was involved in everything and encouraged me and

but to show up and be an active member,” Jason said. “That’s
partly why I’m here today as Chairman of TCFA.”

WHEN THE
QUESTION IS
PROFITABILITY,
the answer is ZACTRAN® (gamithromycin).
THE RIGHT ANSWER FOR BRD.
When you see lightweight, long-haul new arrivals come off
the truck, there’s no time to waste.
ZACTRAN delivers rapid onset1 and 10-day
duration2 against the most prevalent causes
of BRD in a single dose.3,4 And most cattle
stayed healthy with ZACTRAN, which can
Give subcutaneously
at 2 mL/110 lbs.
mean fewer retreatments5 – and healthier
margins. Talk to your veterinarian about
prescription ZACTRAN. It’s exZACTly right for
lightweight, long-haul calves on arrival.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION: For use in cattle only. Do not treat cattle within 35 days of slaughter. Because a discard time in milk
has not been established, do not use in female dairy cattle 20 months of age or older, or in calves to be processed for veal. The effects of
ZACTRAN on bovine reproductive performance, pregnancy and lactation have not been determined.

PRECAUTIONS
The effects of ZACTRAN on bovine reproductive performance,
pregnancy, and lactation have not been determined. Subcutaneous
injection of ZACTRAN may cause a transient local tissue reaction
in some cattle that may result in trim loss of edible tissues at
slaughter.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
Transient animal discomfort and mild to moderate injection site
swelling may be seen in cattle treated with ZACTRAN.
EFFECTIVENESS
The effectiveness of ZACTRAN for the treatment of BRD associated
with Mannheimia haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida and
Histophilus somni was demonstrated in a field study conducted
at four geographic locations in the United States. A total of 497
cattle exhibiting clinical signs of BRD were enrolled in the study.
Cattle were administered ZACTRAN (6 mg/kg BW) or an equivalent
volume of sterile saline as a subcutaneous injection once on
Day 0. Cattle were observed daily for clinical signs of BRD and
were evaluated for clinical success on Day 10. The percentage of
successes in cattle treated with ZACTRAN (58%) was statistically
significantly higher (p<0.05) than the percentage of successes in
the cattle treated with saline (19%).
The effectiveness of ZACTRAN for the treatment of BRD associated
with M. bovis was demonstrated independently at two U.S. study
sites. A total of 502 cattle exhibiting clinical signs of BRD were
enrolled in the studies. Cattle were administered ZACTRAN (6 mg/
kg BW) or an equivalent volume of sterile saline as a subcutaneous
injection once on Day 0. At each site, the percentage of successes
in cattle treated with ZACTRAN on Day 10 was statistically
significantly higher than the percentage of successes in the cattle
treated with saline (74.4% vs. 24% [p <0.001], and 67.4% vs.
46.2% [p = 0.002]). In addition, in the group of calves treated
with gamithromycin that were confirmed positive for M. bovis
(pre-treatment nasopharyngeal swabs), there were more calves at
each site (45 of 57 calves, and 5 of 6 calves) classified as successes
than as failures.
The effectiveness of ZACTRAN for the control of respiratory
disease in cattle at high risk of developing BRD associated
with Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella multocida was
demonstrated in two independent studies conducted in the
United States. A total of 467 crossbred beef cattle at high risk of
developing BRD were enrolled in the study. ZACTRAN (6 mg/kg
BW) or an equivalent volume of sterile saline was administered as
a single subcutaneous injection within one day after arrival. Cattle
were observed daily for clinical signs of BRD and were evaluated
for clinical success on Day 10 post-treatment. In each of the two
studies, the percentage of successes in the cattle treated with
ZACTRAN (86% and 78%) was statistically significantly higher (p
= 0.0019 and p = 0.0016) than the percentage of successes in the
cattle treated with saline (36% and 58%).

T
he TCFA member feedyards who competed with pens
of heifers and steers in the 2013 TCFA Fed Beef Challenge at the historic Amarillo Livestock Auction proved,
once again, the best beef anywhere is fed in the TCFA area.
Sponsored by Texas Cattle Feeders Association, the Fed
Beef Challenge is a contest designed to let cattle feeders compete in producing the high quality beef that consumers demand.
Feedyards enter a pen of three steers or heifers, and after the cattle are harvested, the carcasses are scored on an index developed
by TCFA to identify optimum carcass value. The index uses a
base of 100 points and is adjusted for ribeye area, internal fat,
backfat, yield grade and quality grade to arrive at a final score.

TCFA YOUTH PROGRAMS
TCFA— Preparing Future Leaders
T
he cattle feeding industry’s future rests in the hands of the next generation of leaders, who continue to show their dedication and passion through a high level of competition and engagement in TCFA youth programs like the Junior Fed Beef
Challenge and Feedyard Camp.
Sponsored by TCFA, the annual Junior Fed Beef Challenge allows 4-H and FFA students to gain practical experience in commercial cattle feeding. Students feed a pen of three steers and compete on their knowledge of the industry through a written test
and an interview or oral presentation, depending on their division. Cattle performance points are also figured into the score to
determine the winners of more than $20,000 in prizes, premiums and college scholarships.
Feedyard Camp, sponsored by TCFA, West Texas A&M University and Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, provides high school
juniors and seniors the opportunity to expand their knowledge of commercial cattle feeding during the three-day summer camp
in the Texas Panhandle.

Feedyard Camp
Twenty incoming high school juniors and seniors from across Cattle Feeding Country participated in the 2013 TCFA Junior
Fed Beef Career & Leadership Program, also known as Feedyard Camp, at West Texas A&M University. As a team, TCFA collaborates with West Texas A&M University and Texas A&M AgriLife Extension to offer this three-day, intensive camp that is tailored
for students who have an interest in pursuing a career in feedyard management or the fed beef industry.
Students gained leadership and media training, as well as practical industry knowledge from WTAMU professors. Campers
toured two feedyards where the focus was on animal health, cattle care and handling, feeds and feeding, live evaluation and waste
management.
They also enjoyed a processing plant tour, a panel discussion with
feedyard professionals, as well as a program over marketing themselves
for jobs, complete with interview and networking tips. Feedyard Camp
concluded with the students participating in a beef palatability test and
by fabricating their own steaks at the WTAMU meat lab for lunch.
The TCFA Junior Fed Beef Career & Leadership Program highlights TCFA’s efforts to continue to provide outstanding experiences
for young people to ensure a talented, future workforce for the cattle
feeding industry.

THE HEALTHIER THE
CALVES, THE HAPPIER
THE FAMILY.
Each year, the Karges family runs thousands of cattle through their stocker operation. Using DRAXXIN® (tulathromycin)
Injectable Solution has helped deliver fewer re-pulls, re-treats, chronics and mortalities by providing long-lasting
treatment and control of bovine respiratory disease (BRD). Brock Karges says DRAXXIN has completely changed how
he manages the cattle. “We’ve never seen the response due to metaphylaxis like
we have with DRAXXIN,” he says. Shelia Karges adds, “DRAXXIN gives us peace
of mind. And you can’t quantify the value of that.” Talk to your veterinarian
or visit draxxin.com/KargesFamily.

Karges family operation.

2013 Safety Award Winners
Congratulations to Rusty Jackson of Stratford Feedyard and
Derwin Huseman of Bartlett I Feedyard who tied for first
place in the 2013 TCFA Best Safety Practices Contest. Both
submitted the idea of a Tire Safety Barrier.
A safety barrier was designed to protect employees when
inflating a tire on a piece of equipment that has a mounted
split rim. The railing is located at the tire inflating site and
serves as the barrier between the employee and the equipment.
The barrier is made of heavy pipe railing and is mounted
on the ground. The tire is then inflated with the use of handsfree chuck, which allows the employee to stand protected in
case of rim failure. This will allow employees to safely and
efficiently inflate the tire.
Pictured: Steve Hodges of Merck Animal Health presents the first place award
to Rusty Jackson of Stratford Feedyard.

Congratulations to Frontier Feedyard and Shane Guest of
Wheeler Land & Livestock for tying for second place in the
2013 TCFA Best Safety Practices Contest with the idea of
Mobile Lock-Out/Tag-Out.
Both feedyards submitted the idea of displaying caution

tape, or an “Out of Order” or “Do Not Operate” sign to indi- Land & Livestock; Steve Hodges, Merck Animal Health
cate a piece of equipment is out of service.
These signs are placed accordingly, and the keys are kept in
an employee’s front pocket. These warning signs are meant to
alert others that the equipment cannot be used until repairs
are complete.
Congratulations to Jeannie Greenhouse of Tejas Feeders for
submitting the third place idea, which is an Emergency Action Plan and Storm Shelter.
Two EF-5 storm shelters have been installed below ground
and are equipped with GPS through the local sheriff ’s office.
The shelters are also furnished with First Aid kits, water and
flashlights.
In addition, a NOAA weather radio is located in the main
office to warn employees if severe weather is approaching,
which will allow employees to safely exit the yard.

DID YOU
KNOW
I helped take the guesswork out of
the beef section of the meat case?
“Thanks to our checkoff’s ‘Easy Fresh Cooking’ on-pack
stickers, consumers learn about new recipes, cooking
tips and safety information for a variety of beef cuts. In
fact, of the more than 10,000 stores using this checkoff
program, 72 percent of shoppers say they have bought a
beef product because of the information on the stickers.
And, 46 percent say they are more likely to purchase
new or different cuts in the future because of them.”
While you and Roger are managing your operations,
your checkoff is sharing beef’s benefits to help keep
beef center-of-plate with consumers.

The Honorable ________________
U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, D.C. 20515
Dear Representative____________
I am writing to urge you to (support/oppose)
(S–/HR–)
• Immediately identify the subject you are
writing about. If legislation has already
been introduced, identify the bill(s) by
name and number. If a bill has not yet
been introduced, describe in a sentence or
two the subject of your letter.
My name is...I am writing on behalf of...
• Identify yourself. If you are writing on
behalf of a company or organization, be
sure you say so.
• Your letters will carry far more weight if
you live or do business in the Senator’s
state or Representative’s district.
I urge you to (support/oppose)
(S–/HR–) because...
• Tell the Member of Congress why you are
advocating the action.
• State the facts. Give illustration. Tell how
the legislation will affect you or your company. Don’t assume the Congressman
knows as much about the particular situation as you do. Offer to provide more information.
• Keep the letter polite. It should be positive and constructive. Never threaten or
be sarcastic. And don’t assume the letter
won’t be read. It will.
• NEVER send a form letter or a post card.
• Keep the letter brief–ideally to one page.
In conclusion, I urge you to...
• Repeat your reason for writing
• Thank the Congressman for his or her
cooperation.

Here is some of what TCFA has to offer.
Legislative Representation
Of all the services TCFA offers, many members say its
aggressive legislative efforts are among the most important.
That’s because government activities affect cattle feeders every
day. Not only do TCFA officers and staff visit Washington and
Austin to take cattle feeders’ concerns directly to legislators,
TCFA brings national legislators and their staffs to the TCFA
area to give them an understanding of cattle feeding.
In addition, TCFA uses Beef-PAC, its Political Action
Committee, to support candidates who understand and are
friendly to the cattle feeding industry. Key staff contacts: Josh
Winegarner (Legislation), [email protected] and Shannon Standley,
(Beef-PAC), [email protected].
detailed market information transmitted directly to them
Market Information
Day-in, day-out, it’s the cattle market that dominates the
thoughts of cattle feeders, and for almost 50 years, the TCFA
Market Department has been helping members keep up with
the market so they can sell their cattle for all the market offers.
The TCFA area accounts for about 30 percent of the fed
cattle marketed in the U.S., making Cattle Feeding Country the
center of the nation’s fed cattle market. TCFA’s market analyst is
tuned in to the pulse of the market and can provide up-to-theminute information for qualified members.
And, with Web-Net and text messaging, feedyards get
anytime, anywhere. Web-Net is TCFA’s internet-based
market information system that allows feedyard members to
automatically receive market updates as they occur. TCFA’s
Market Department can help put market power in your hands
and help you get the best price for your cattle. Key staff contact:
Jason Slane, [email protected].
Communications
Information that’s accurate and timely. That’s the stock in
trade of the TCFA Communications Department as it works to
keep members and the media informed about the events and
activities that shape cattle feeding.
The weekly TCFA Newsletter is available to all TCFA
members, in addition to the Cattle Feeders Resource Guide,
brochures and other publications that keep you informed of
events and actions that may impact your business.
The website is a valuable resource for market data, research
reports, industry news, facts about the nutritional quality of
beef, information on good business practices and many other
subjects. Located at www.tcfa.org, the recently revamped site is
updated throughout the day, Monday through Friday.

Quality Assurance
Helping members stay ahead of the curve. That’s TCFA’s goal,
and that’s why TCFA was the first state cattlemen’s association
in the nation to develop the Beef Quality Assurance Program
MEMBERSHIP SERVICES
(BQA). In fact, TCFA’s program has served as the foundation for
beef quality assurance efforts now in place in nearly every state.
TCFA’s BQA Program includes Hazard Analysis Critical
Control Points (HACCP) principles, and with the revisions
approved in 2012, feedyards have implemented site-specific
Best Management Practices and document employee training
for all employees in the feed, cattle and yard departments.
To participate in the program, feedyards must be audited by
TCFA and verified by a nutritionist and veterinarian and must
re-qualify every year to keep their certification. In addition to
addressing beef safety and quality, annual audits by TCFA staff
include cattle handling evaluations and inspections of facilities,
feed bunks, water tanks and pens. Key staff contact: Brady
Miller, [email protected].
From the beginning, cattle feeders have recognized that sound
environmental stewardship is not only the right thing to do, but
it makes good business sense, too. TCFA developed a model
Pollution Prevention Plan for feedyards that has become the
standard for other industries. And to help TCFA Feedyard
Members become as environmentally proactive as possible,
TCFA conducts environmental site assessments that help
feedyard managers understand the many federal and state
environmental regulations with which they must comply.
In addition, TCFA offers enhanced environmental services
to help feedyards with monitoring, testing and recordkeeping.
TCFA conducts training for feedyard personnel, inspects
environmental equipment and facilities, reviews logs and
records and assists with water, soil and nutrient sampling. Key

Ambition Creates
Success.
After all, it’s what helped my father and his father build this business from
nothing but a dream of what could be – and now is.
Ambition doesn’t clock out at 5 PM. Or 5 AM for that matter.
But ambition can’t do it alone.
It needs determination, hard work and some help along the way.
Which is what’s going to keep me here, whatever the challenges may be.
Ambition doesn’t roll over and give up. It knows how to get the job done
when others say it can’t be done.
MY AMBITION IS TO BUILD THE BEST POSSIBLE
FUTURE FOR MY FAMILY AND ME.

FOR VETERINARY USE ONLY
HUMAN WARNINGS: For use in animals only. Keep out of the reach of children. Avoid contact
with eyes. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with copious amounts of water for 15 minutes.
In case of dermal contact, wash skin with soap and water. Consult a physician if irritation persists fol-
lowing ocular or dermal exposures. Individuals with a history of hypersensitivity to quinolones should
avoid this product. In humans, there is a risk of user photosensitization within a few hours after excessive exposure to quinolones. If excessive accidental exposure occurs, avoid direct sunlight.
PRECAUTIONS:
The effects of enrofloxacin on cattle or swine reproductive performance, pregnancy and lactation
have not been adequately determined.The long-term effects on articular joint cartilage have not
been determined in pigs above market weight.
Subcutaneous injection can cause a transient local tissue reaction that may result in trim loss of
edible tissue at slaughter.
Enroflox 100 contains different excipients than other enrofloxacin products. The safety and efficacy of
this formulation in species other than cattle and swine have not been determined.
Quinolone-class drugs should be used with caution in animals with known or suspected Central
Nervous System (CNS) disorders. In such animals, quinolones have, in rare instances, been associated
with CNS stimulation which may lead to convulsive seizures. Quinolone-class drugs have been shown
to produce erosions of cartilage of weight-bearing joints and other signs of arthropathy in immature
animals of various species. See Animal Safety section for additional information.
ADVERSE REACTIONS: No adverse reactions were observed during clinical trials.
ANIMAL SAFETY:
In cattle safety studies, clinical signs of depression, incoordination and muscle fasciculation were
observed in calves when doses of 15 or 25 mg/kg were administered for 10 to 15 days. Clinical
signs of depression, inappetance and incoordination were observed when a dose of 50 mg/kg was
administered for 3 days. An injection site study conducted in feeder calves demonstrated that the
formulation may induce a transient reaction in the subcutaneous tissue and underlying muscle. In
swine safety studies, incidental lameness of short duration was observed in all groups, including the
saline-treated controls. Musculoskeletal stiffness was observed following the 15 and 25 mg/kg treatments with clinical signs appearing during the second week of treatment. Clinical signs of lameness
improved after treatment ceased and most animals were clinically normal at necropsy. An injection
site study conducted in pigs demonstrated that the formulation may induce a transient reaction in
the subcutaneous tissue.
