The organization has experienced substantial growth since becoming statewide in 2007 and continues to grow today. We are proud to be the 8th largest Junior Livestock Show in the nation and would love to have you be a part of it. As a native Austinite, I can assure you it’s never boring in Austin or on our fairgrounds! We host live music, local eats and the largest carnival in the city. We are proud to be Where Weird Meets Western! As a former chair of the Calf Scramble Committee, I am proud to share the continued success of the committee – raising an all-time record $116,000 for the Ultimate Scramble Championship in 2016. Due to their fundraising success, we were able to award more USC certificates and allow 160 participants to scramble. Our one-day bracket style tournament continues to be a huge success with exhibitors from all over the state of Texas. We encourage you to participate, practice and take a shot at the $5,000 USC Champion title. 2017 is the Year of the Volunteer. As you participate in Austin, please don’t hesitate to thank all of the volunteers and committeemen that make each livestock show and competitive event possible. The donations that are generated for USC participants and Youth Auction award winners are all solicited by volunteers who strongly believe in building a better future for the next generation of Texans. We hope to see you in Austin March 11-25, 2017 as Rodeo Austin celebrates 80 years of Promoting Youth Education — Preserving Western Heritage.

  • DOMESTIC CATTLE ARTIODACTYLA Family: Bovidae Genus: Bos Species: Taurus
    DOMESTIC CATTLE ARTIODACTYLA Family: Bovidae Genus: Bos Species: taurus Range: world wide Habitat: open grass lands, rangelands Miniature Corriente Cattle Niche: terrestrial, diurnal, herbivorous Wild diet: grasses, stems Zoo diet: Life Span: 25 years Sexual dimorphism: M larger than F Location in SF Zoo: Family Farm in the Exploration Zone APPEARANCE & PHYSICAL ADAPTATIONS: Cattle are large ungulates with cloven hooves; the hoof is split into two toes which are homologous to the third and fourth digits. Most breeds have horns, which vary in size among the breeds. Genetic selection has allowed polled (hornless) cattle to become widespread. Weight: ~ 1,660 lbs varies among breeds HRL: Domestic cows have no upper incisors, instead they have a thick SH: 49 – 52 in layer called the dental pad. The jaws are designed for the circular TL: grinding motion used to crush coarse vegetation. Cattle are ruminants or “cud chewers”, with four-chambered stomach and foregut fermentation by microbes; they are highly specialized to eat poorly digestible plants as food. These microbes are primarily responsible for decomposing the cellulose of the herbivorous diet. The microbes reproduce in the rumen, older generations die and their cells continue on through the digestive tract. These cells are then partially digested in the small intestines, allowing cattle to gain a high-quality protein source. Cattle are dichromatic and having two kinds of color receptors in their retinas, as are most other non-primate land mammals. STATUS & CONSERVATION Domestic cows are common and can be found throughout the world. A report from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) states that the livestock sector is "responsible for 18% of greenhouse gas emissions".

  • Court of Appeals First District of Texas
    Opinion issued August 26, 2014 In The Court of Appeals For The First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-12-01000-CV ——————————— ROBERT KELLY D/B/A BRENHAM FLOWERS, Appellant V. BRENHAM FLORAL COMPANY D/B/A BRENHAM FLORAL, Appellee On Appeal from the County Court at Law Washington County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 2011-092 MEMORANDUM OPINION Robert Kelly d/b/a Brenham Flowers appeals the post-answer default judgment for appellee, Brenham Floral Company d/b/a Brenham Floral. In two issues, Kelly contends that the trial court abused its discretion in (1) denying his motion for new trial to set aside the default judgment and (2) awarding attorney’s fees in the amount of $12,895 to Brenham Floral. We affirm. Background Brenham Floral, a florist shop in Brenham, Texas, has been in business since 1962. In February 2011, Kelly opened Brenham Flowers located at 801 A&B South Market Street, in Brenham, Texas.1 On May 24, 2011, Brenham Floral sued Kelly for trademark infringement, unfair competition, and dilution based on Kelly’s use of “Brenham Flowers.” In its lawsuit, Brenham Floral alleged that Kelly’s use of the name “Brenham Flowers” and “Brenham Wildflowers” had “caused numerous instances of actual confusion, mistake, or deception among members of the relevant consuming public, all to the detriment of [Brenham Floral] and its goodwill.” Brenham Floral sought injunctive relief and recovery of its attorney’s fees.2 On August 11, 2011, Kelly filed a letter addressed to the court clerk which functioned as his answer to the lawsuit.

  • The Texas Longhorn the First Long-Horned Cattle Came to North America Between the Sixteenth and Eighteenth Centuries During
    The Texas Longhorn The first long-horned cattle came to North America between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries during the Spanish explorations, expeditions and religious missions. When Anglo-American pioneers traveled west in the early nineteenth century, they brought domesticated English cattle with them. American Indians raided cattle from both the Spanish and Anglo-Americans and gradually developed their own hybrid strains of cattle. With many cattle escaping from the open ranges, Spanish, English and hybrid cattle interbred. By the 1830’s, thousands of wild cattle ranged from the Rio Grande to the Nueces River. Exposed to the elements and relentlessly hunted by American Indians and colonists, cattle adapted or perished. They were forced to survive in the blazing sun and freezing winter, through dust storms and swamps. They could subsist on a diet of weeds and brush and live for days without water. From their Spanish ancestors, they inherited large, sweeping horns with twists at the end that allowed them to ward off coyotes and wolves. Colonists called cattle of the brush “wild cattle,” “mustang cattle” or “Spanish cattle.” It was not until the end of the Civil War that some range men would refer to “Texas cattle” or “Texas Longhorns.” Early Texas cowboys rustled cattle from Mexican ranches and captured feral cattle from the brush country. They stocked Texas ranges with these animals or trailed them through the Louisiana swamps to markets in New Orleans. Although the animals varied in their degree of wildness, skilled raiders could drive them in herds. After two or three long days of running, then trotting, then walking, they could be managed almost like domestic cattle.

  • Strength in Numbers: Houston's Gay Community and the Aids Crisis, 1977-1989
    STRENGTH IN NUMBERS: HOUSTON'S GAY COMMUNITY AND THE AIDS CRISIS, 1977-1989 A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Department of History University of Houston In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts By Jonathan C. Heath May 2006 2. CHAPTER III. AIDS SAMARITANS: PROVIDING PRACTICAL AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT, 1984-1989 When Freda Wagman first heard her son had AIDS in the spring of 1983, she refused to accept it as "nothing to worry about," as he had told her. I She had a mother's urge to provide care and comfort, to look out for his health, but Gary lived in San Francisco, distant from her Bellaire home. Fed up with worry and frustration, Wagman called upon one of the community institutions conceived at Town Meeting I: the Montrose Counseling Center. The day after this call, she set up a meeting with a counselor, also named Gary. As Wagman recalled, "I guess I needed to rave and rant or something. I wasn't sure what I was supposed to be doing." Gary urged Freda to channel her frustration locally into something productive, such as volunteering for the newly founded Kaposi's Sarcoma Committee (later, the KS/AIDS Foundation). Wagman quickly received an assignment to type fifty copies of various forms from the New York Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC), replacing the header. These forms were to be used for client and volunteer intake, as well as providing statements of confidentiality. Wagman returned the forms by six 0'clock that evening, delighting the woman who had assigned her the task.

  • Why Texas Longhorn Cattle? by Russell Hooks
    Why Texas Longhorn Cattle? By Russell Hooks In my thirty five plus years of breeding, preserving and promoting Texas Longhorn cattle I have been ask numerous questions about the breed. However I would have to say the most often asked question is “why do y ou raise Longhorns”. This question is not a simple single answer but rather a question with multiple answers which I am going to share with you in this article. First off, they are one of the easiest breeds of cattle to raise and do not require a lot of cattle knowledge or experience working with cattle. One of the factors that make Longhorns a “no hassle” breed is their natural resistance to numerous diseases and parasites. Longhorns seem to have a natural immunity developed over centuries of having to make it on their own with little too no help from mankind. This translates into fewer veterinarian bills and less maintenance cost for an individual choosing to raise Texas Longhorns. Another reason as to “why Longhorns” is their browse utilization. Longhorn cattle will take advantage of whatever type of forage is available thus requiring less supplemental feed to maintain an adequate body condition. Most Longhorn cows weight less than1200lbs which means less cost to maintain the cows. They also put less stress on your pastures by their lower forage requirements and by their willingness to consume different types of vegetation. This allows the rancher to possibly increase his carrying capacity, which increases the number calves produced thus increasing the potential profits. Adaptability is another good reason for raising Longhorn cattle.

    The ldeal Genetic Package An Update on Texas Longhorn Crossbreeding Jerry Williams has likewise committed cows to a Gelhorn program. He has 30 first cross calves and says 500J00 Gelbvieh Longhorn calves will be born this year. "We look for an animal in six or seven years that has size, lean meat, is an early breeder, good milker, and requires no hormones to grow." Dick Robbins is a commercial beef cattle- man in Belvidere, Kansas. Like the Salorn and Gelhorn enthusiasts, Robbins maintains a herd ofTexas Longhorns and raises seedstock.

  • Breeds of Beef and Multi-Purpose Cattle
    BREEDS OF BEEF AND MULTI-PURPOSE CATTLE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The inspiration for writing this book goes back to my undergraduate student days at Iowa State University when I enrolled in the course, “Breeds of Livestock,” taught by the late Dr. Roy Kottman, who was then the Associate Dean of Agriculture for Undergraduate Instruction. I was also inspired by my livestock judging team coach, Professor James Kiser, who took us to many great livestock breeders’ farms for practice judging workouts. I also wish to acknowledge the late Dr. Ronald H. Nelson, former Chairman of the Department of Animal Science at Michigan State University. Dr. Nelson offered me an Instructorship position in 1957 to pursue an advanced degree as well as teach a number of undergraduate courses, including “Breeds of Livestock.” I enjoyed my work so much that I never left, and remained at Michigan State for my entire 47-year career in Animal Science. During this career, I had an opportunity to judge shows involving a significant number of the breeds of cattle reviewed in this book. I wish to acknowledge the various associations who invited me to judge their shows and become acquainted with their breeders. Furthermore, I want to express thanks to my spouse, Dr. Leah Cox Ritchie, for her patience while working on this book, and to Ms. Nancy Perkins for her expertise in typing the original manuscript. I also want to acknowledge the late Dr. Hilton Briggs, the author of the textbook, “Modern Breeds of Livestock.” I admired him greatly and was honored to become his close friend in the later years of his life.

Te top producing states for cattle and calves are Texas, Nebraska, Kansas, California and Oklahoma. A beef producer’s income depends on the ability to identify cattle breeds and select quality animals. For consumers, it is important to know as much as possible about the beef industry to ensure purchases of beef products are wise and cost efective. Beef Cattle History Cattle have played an important role in the development of mankind. Not only have they always been used as a food source, but they serve as beasts of burden as well. As they were domesticated, the appearance of cattle changed. Today, modern cattle have been developed to suit the changing needs of the beef industry. It is believed that cattle were first domesticated in Europe and Asia during the Stone Age. Modern cattle are descended from two species of wild cattle. Tese two species are called Bos taurus and Bos indicus. Te Bos taurus species produced European-style cattle breeds, such as the Angus and the Hereford.
