September 28, 2000   Old Cows, New Friends-
   
Some years back I sold a Kingfisher daughter we raised named Millie at the Gathering Sale. She was very pretty paint cow with fifty inches of horn. Though I was showing cattle at the time, I never showed her. George Gregory purchased her and though George shows cattle, he never showed Millie. A year or two later he traded her to Gary Henry and though Gary Henry shows a lot of cattle and showed one of Millie's offspring, Gary chose not to show her either. Gary recently sold her to Roger and Adair Buck. Just to prove beauty is in the eye of the beholder, they thought she was show quality and brought Millie to the East Texas State Fair. Roger and Adair showed her in the non-haltered show. I don't know who was cheering louder, Roger or me, when she was named Grand Champion All Age Cow in the non-haltered show.

Thanks to William and Gail Wood for their purchase of Jabez! Jabez, a Meshach son out of the Joshua daughter Lydia, born 12-31-99, represented the Assad Longhorn Cattle Company at 9 Texas Longhorn shows. Though Jabez was always the youngest in his class, he placed first in class 5 times, won second 3 times, and won third once. Jabez won Reserve Junior Champion Bull at the ITLA Tyler show, and Reserve Grand Champion Bull at the TLBAA Lufkin show. Jabez demonstrates that Meshach offspring can do well in either ITLA or TLBAA shows, and that a GOOD bull can win even if  he was born the last day of the class.
    Thanks to Bob Dube and Matt Menchaca for showing Jabez. ( Update; March 7, 2004 Firewalker a son of Jabez  is named Reserve Grand Champion Bull at the Houston, Livestock Show & Rodeo!!! )

 December 6, 2001- The Wortham Theater, Houston, Texas
   
Texas Longhorns are so much fun and can do so many things. At the prestigious Wortham Theater on the stage of the Cullen Auditorium, the flashy twins Jonathan and David sired by Meshach out of the Joshua daughter Zebudah led in by the two greatest Texas Longhorn showmen in the the world Bob Dube and Bob Garner started Cow Parade Houston. Cow Parade Houston is a charitable event benefiting Texas Children's Hospital . Life size fiberglass cows were given to local artists to paint and decorate any way they chose.  Their finished product  was auctioned with the proceeds going to Texas Children's Hospital. I got to carry the shovel and broom while Bob and Bob paraded Jonathan and David around the stage to the delight of the audience while the vice-president of Sotheby's (the world famous London auction firm) conducted a lively, fast-paced auction. The 9 month old twins didn't slip, didn't poop and sold for $12,000. The 62 lots plus the twins raised over $600,000 for Texas Children's, a real fun evening. Since the twins were the first lot, Bob Garner his date, Joan, Debbie, and I got to watch the rest of the auction. Bob Dube disappeared. We wondered whether he was visiting the open bar or looking for the second highest bidder on the twins!  When I became a life insurance agent in 1970 some of the first people I sold life insurance to were  Physicians who were interns at Texas Children's. What a fun way to say "Thanks".
