This cook‐off is open to any cook team wishing to par cipate (Entry fee $150.00). IBCA membership is encouraged but NOT required. Though the sanc oned cook‐off doesn’t begin un l Saturday morning, there will be a “Cook’s Choice” Jackpot on Friday night to break the ice amongst the early‐birds with a 50% payout to the winner ($25.00 Buy‐in). Pre‐registra on for teams will open on May 1st. Contact Willie Arnwine at (903) 683‐5416 or [email protected] for more info. Table of Contents

We will meet once macrocyclic lactones and the benzimidazoles (commonly a month on the third Tuesday of every month at various cafés referred to as the white products).

a BQA and marke ng standpoint. Beef Cows
Jason Banta, Associate Professor & Extension Beef Ca le Specialist
When it comes to deworming beef cows there are several common ques ons that arise and should be carefully considered. How o en should I deworm? When is the most effec ve me to deworm? What factors should I consider when choosing a product(s)? The number of mes it is economically advantageous to deworm cows depends on geographic loca on and annual rainfall. In parts of Texas with higher rainfall, it is generally recommend to deworm cows twice a year; in contrast once a year is likely sufficient in lower rainfall areas. Producers in East Texas should consider two strategic treatments per year for beef cows: once in late May, June, or early July and again in late November or December (Craig and Wiske, 1995). This approach allows for the most effec ve control of both cool‐season and warm‐season gastrointes nal nematodes (i.e. worms), which are transmi ed during different mes of the year (Craig and Wiske, 1995). It is also important to know that strategic ming of treatment varies geographically because transmission pa erns of gastrointes nal nematodes differ between the southern and northern United States. If producers in East Texas are only going to deworm once they should focus on trea ng in late May, June, or early July. The macrocyclic lactones provide 2‐4 weeks of persistent ac vity against some of the most important gastrointes nal nematodes found in cows; in contrast the white products typically don’t provide any persistent ac vity. However, it is important to know that the macrocyclic lactones have limited efficacy against Cooperia, a species of gastrointes nal nematodes that can be a problem in ca le less than a year of age. The white products are effec ve at controlling Cooperia (Craig, 2007). While everyone likes to save money, cau on should be used when considering generic ivermec n products. Both research (Yazwinski et al., 2004) and field observa ons have shown reduced efficacy for many of these generic products. In summary, many producers find one of the brand name macrocyclic lactones to best meet their needs for deworming cows and nursing calves. For weaned calves, stocker ca le, and replacement heifers the use of a white product will also likely be beneficial. The best deworming plan will vary from opera on to opera on, so work with your veterinarian and knowledgeable beef ca le experts to develop a successful plan for your opera on.

Best Homegrown Tomato Contest
A delicious part of TomatoFest!
June 13, 2015
No fee to enter ● $75 prizes for each category
The open categories are: Most Unusual and People’s Choice. The homeowner categories are: Biggest, Best Plate of Three, Best Plate of Three – Heirloom Variety & Best Plate of Three – 12 and under. The Commercial categories are Biggest and Best
Plate of Three. Come show off what your garden can grow! Many thanks to ETMC of Jacksonville for once again sponsoring this contest. The push is on now to get vegetables in the ground. We have been abundantly blessed with rainfall. That means,
hopefully, that we will have a bumper crop of all the yummy goodies we love to eat, but it also means we have a bumper
crop of insects and disease to go with it. Keep the area around your gardens clean and mown and that will help a great
deal.
Sow seeds of sunflower, zinnia, morning glory, portulaca, marigold, cosmos, periwinkles and gourds directly into
the soil. Achimenes, cannas, dahlias and other summer flowering bulbs can also be planted in May.
Allow foliage of spring flowering bulbs to mature and yellow before removing.
Mulch, mulch, mulch! Yes, it’s that important! A good hardwood mulch will conserve water, keep down the
weeds, and provide a natural source of plant nutrients.
Keep an eye out for spider mites on your vegetation. Hot dry summer conditions are prime time for infestations. Look for
webbing between stems and leaves and also leaf discoloration. A good blast from a water hose to the underside of the
leaves can help, but if you have a large infestation, you made need to spray them with something a bit more serious.
As miserably hot as it is in the summer here, July is the time to concentrate on the fall garden. Select good
healthy tomato transplants, and aim for smaller fruiting varieties. They will fruit more reliably.
Take time to look over your irrigation system. Check the heads and the volume of output. A little water savings can go a
long way during the summer’s heavy water needs, and maintenance can be a huge help. “Some people,” says Alphonse
Karr, “are always finding fault
with Nature for putting thorns
on roses; I always thank her
for having put roses on thorns.”

thanks again to Spooktacular Bullbash for
sponsoring bulbs to plant—Wells ISD
Kindergarten and 2nd grade will be loving their
new daffodil bed next Spring when it flowers.
Rusk ISD Primary School headstart program’s
spring garden is off to a strong start—tomatoes
and squash are in the ground.
I am so very thankful for the Cherokee County
Master Gardeners and the teachers. Their heart
for the kids helps make these fun times possible.
