Football players from Johnstown High School (Ohio) responded for the photo shoot held at Callan Cattle Co. Photos of a football player in their stance "looking head-to-head" with Kilometer, Ed & Bob Snyder's Service Sire, were placed in the local are newspaper and also were placed on the photographer’s Blog . Before anyone went into the pasture Ed held a brief but sincere "livestock Safety course", as none of the three participants had farm or ranch logic in their background.

Our next meeting will be on Sunday, March 4^th at Bob Snyder’s office in Granville, OH. Ed Callan will be practicing his new found culinary expertise by preparing Texas Longhorn chili, a beef customer shared with him.

President's message from June/July 2011

It’s a pleasant surprise to be elected President of ORVTLA, I’ll share with you a little about me and my family.

We moved to Ohio from Indiana in 1991 because of changes in my employment, to outside of Perrysville Ohio, a small town east of Mansfield, with one stop light and a very good ice cream stand.

My wife Deb and I have been married 34 years (I think) and have two adult children and 5 grandchildren. Deb is a horse nut and has shown Quarter Horses most of her life, and always will.

I grew up on a 150 acre farm in Indiana that was a wonderful place for a country boy to grow up on. I wanted to be a large animal vet and am still sorry that I did not do that. I currently work two jobs (a victim of an out sourced economy) and am raising 2 of our grandchildren, Hunter that is 5 and his sister Skylar who is 2. We live on a small acerage farm, which is going to have to get bigger.

We bought our first longhorns 4 years ago this August. We purchased 3 half sisters that are granddaughters of Coal Smoke. I went back 10 generations on these heifers that were 7 months old at the time, and they all had at least 8 of the 11 top longhorn bulls in their pedigree. Proven bloodlines will do a lot in any breeding program. I only A.I. and bred them the next summer at 16 months and now have 3 cows, 4 years old having calf #3.

What a great time to have Texas Longhorn cattle. Grain prices are high, farmers are planting corn in last years hay fields. Other cattle farmers are down sizing or getting out because they can't afford grain, hay prices are high. Then there are those people with Longhorns that are sitting on one of the best kept secrets in the cattle industry. We don't need grain to grow good beef, big buildings to house them in nor cows that can't calf on their own. We don't have to sell our best cows when they are 10 years old, or have bulls that can't get the job done, and we don't have to feed our heifers for 3 years before their first calves are born. We have the leanest beef and the best product.

Do you get the picture? Our time is now! Currently there are two very good articles, just published, that are very good P.R. for our cattle. One article is in the Electric Coop publication, that I receive every month that is about Dickinson Cattle Company. The other is in the Tractor Supplies quarterly publication that they hand out to customers titled "Out Here" about a breeder in California with comments also an article by Darol Dickinson.

Ohio is a great state to be raising Texas Longhorns. Lots of grass, plenty of good people to help you with your cattle program, a cental location east of the Mississippi River, and breeding stock as good as it gets. People join organizations for a reason. One thing I plan to work on during my term as ORVTLA President, is giving current members more reasons to want to belong. Also encouraging new members to want to be a part of the movement to Breed Texas Longhorn cattle. I'll need your help. You may get a call from me, or an e-mail asking you to help to keep the Longhorn breed moving forward.

Thanks to the show Committee and all involved in putting the Randolph show together. Judge Larry Lonero praised you all for a well-run show.

WANTED! Youth who have not reached the age of 18 and may or may not own Registered Texas Longhorns, Give up some face book time for Longhorn Time, the association needs you also. We are looking for ideas on how to promote more youth involvement.

We would like to complement the youth on the great job they did showing cattle at the Randolph show. The youth are the future of the breed, lets give them a reason to be envolved.

Any members or groups of members who would like to host a field day sometime in 2012, drawing prospective new breeders and also a time for teaching and sharing, please let me know. It’s been awhile since we’ve had one. Tim

Till next Time,

Tim Mills
