A LETTER FROM THE
Executive Secretary
New Location for 2012 TJLA Field Day
Hello Friends and fellow Limousin enthusiasts,
If you are looking for that silver lining in the cloud of economic and
drought news, look to the the junior program in Texas. Texas juniors
turned out in large numbers at both the State and National shows, and their
accomplishments are praise worthy.
Many current breeders became involved in the breed through the junior
program, looking at the current crop of juniors, the future looks bright for
the Limousin breed. This drought will pass and when it does our breed is
positioning itself for positive growth. These young people as future breeders
will play a part in that growth.
Mark Anderson Executive Director of the North American Limousin
Foundation recently addressed a group�of�TLA
members in Abilene. Mark
�����
relayed his positive experiences with Limousin genetics in the feed yards and
the advantages the breed offers to allow diverse marketing options, Natural
programs, Lauras Lean, Strauss Veal, etc. Mark also discussed the importance
of Texas to the beef industry in general and the growth of the Limousin breed
in particular.
Many breeders are in a survival mode due to conditions out of their control,
however it is important to realize there is a bright future for our cattle. Now
more than ever it is important to work together to keep our association strong
and united towards the common goal of growing our breed.
Sincerely,
Ralph
TJLA advisors Brian Payne, Johnny Smith and Brad Davis discussed requests to change
the location of the 2012 Field Day with TLA board president Jay Wilder and TLA board
vice president Dr. Scott Stowers. After review the decision was made to hold the 2012 Field
Day at the Mallet Event Center in Levelland, Texas. The Mallet Event Center has similar
accommodations and costs as the Brazos County Expo Center.
The theme for the 2012 Field Day is Fun in the Sun Texas Style and will be held June 1-3.
Silent Auction Nets $2,805 for Juniors
Carole Counsil once again organized a silent auction to benefit the TJLA. The TJLA and
TLA would like to thank Carole, and all who donated, made bids or purchases at the auction.
The proceeds went towards paying for the awards which totaled over $3,400.
TLA & TJLA Awards $2,000 in Scholarships
The TLA and TJLA presented four graduating seniors with a $500 scholarship at the TJLA
awards banquet. Scholarships are made in memory of Gene Rogers, E.J. Bishop, and Matt Ertl.
Thanks to all who made it possible to provide these scholarships.
Scholarship winners were l-r Heather
Kosub, Peyton Fisher, Grayson Russell,
Travis Payne, who each received a $500
scholarship.
