Don L. King Attends Millennium Futurity

Featured Industry News Straight Talk

Don L. King, who was found guilty of misappropriating over $100,000 from the TLBAA seemed to be a welcomed guest at the recent Millennium Futurity.  This event is open to the public and Mr. King had the right to attend. But, by most accounts, he was welcomed with open arms by a number of those involved with the event. He was also welcomed to this years Legacy Sale and allowed to attend the private annual meeting of both the Millennium Futurity and TLMA.  I find it very interesting (but not surprising) that he apparently feels no remorse or guilt about what he did to the members of the TLBAA.  I find it even more astounding that people will speak to him and treat him as though nothing ever happened.  Ex-TLBAA Board Member Dr. Zech Dameron sat down and had a friendly conversation with Mr. King (see photo).  It appears they have not let Mr. King’s illegal acts get in the way of their friendship.  Mr. King has no business attending a Longhorn event accept to visit with his friends and that is just what he did.  I personally do not want to see or speak to Mr. King; I just want him to pay back the money he misappropriated from our association (and members) so we can all move on.

    Regarding Don King and Zech Dameron, how very sad you have fabricated such lies. 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.

    I am so sorry that you find the truth so offensive. 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.
