I have dedicated over 24 years to the Longhorn industry and that is where I will continue to focus my time and energy. As to Honesty and Character...one is offten judged (rightly or wrongly) by the company that they keep that is why I choose not to be friends with a person that has stolen funds from the good people of the TLBAA because it brings one's character and honesty into question. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us but I do wish you could have done it without resulting to name calling. I am so sorry that you find the truth so offensive.

The Longhorn breeders I have the privilege of knowing are honest, upstanding individuals whose main interest is supporting the breed. Zech Dameron most certainly falls into that category. You are the most self-serving weasel in the barnyard. If you are so desperate for attention, may I suggest you focus your energy and time on endeavors that reflect honesty and character.

Doesn't seem fair that the TLBAA Chairman's rebuttal letter is provided but Mr. Lewis' full letter isn't. Would like to see Mr. Lewis’ entire letter.

If the mom will let you or if you can separate the calf from the mom for a few hours each day you can work on halter training the calf earlier than weaning or without weaning. Hope this helps.

Color is somewhat of a personal preferrence, white was not a color that was very common when the Longhorns roamed free. White is easier for wolves and other meat eaters to spot so it had to do with survival. White cattle can have problems with heat tolerance and sun burning which can result in cancer. Today it is more about marketability. Longhorns come in many different colors and combinations, I personally love brindles. If I had the chance to purchase a cow with great horn shape and length, sound udder and solid conformation but her only fault was that she was white...I would make the purchase knowing that I would want to bred her to a solid colored bull in hopes of producing a speckled calf. Hope this helps. Mark
