As far as the TLMA goes, becouse we are fairly new to the longhorn industry we have tryed to keep up with what is going on and me and my wife have come to the conclusion that there is alot of politics in play and that is childs play.We will stay true to the TLBAA and the Butler Breeders and lend a hand in anything they need and we will give are full support too who we beleive is the backbone of our industry (TLBAA).

I believe we are not the only ones that feel this way about the TLMA. Thank you for your comments and thoughts on the TLMA post. I believe we are not the only ones that feel this way about the TLMA.

We can not afford to join at a level that will allow us to be voting members and will not join an organization that charges dues and will not allow us to vote. We did not attend their Longhorn World Championship but have heard it was a great well planned and run event. What a shame, that all of that time and money was not invested in the existing Horn Showcase to make it bigger and better to benefit the whole industry. We love our cattle and are working to have the best herd we can afford, but we are just the little guys at the base of the pyramid and we have to make hard decisions about where the money we spend will most benefit our herd. So far the TLMA has not proven to us that we should spend our money with them. Russell we are glad to see you have your website up and running again.
