LongHorn, Not The Long Tail

Texas Longhorn Breeders Association of AmericaI will bet this is a very friendly group of people and would be a lot of fun to attend. It’s the Legacy II sale of the Texas Longhorn Breeders Association of America. They say that Texas longhorns are dressed up and ready for a night on the town and I believe it. The president of TLBAA sounds like a real promoter to me.

“When people think about a livestock auction, usually a sawdust-covered arena comes to mind, not a five-star resort with a golf course and a spa,” said Don L. King, president of the Texas Longhorn Breeders Association of America. “But when you consider how revered the Texas Longhorn is, it’s a lot easier to understand why we wanted to give this event a bit of star treatment this year.” The Texas Longhorn Legacy Sale II is scheduled for March 18, 2006 at 7:00 p.m. at the Doral Tesoro Hotel & Golf Club in Fort Worth, Texas near the Texas Motor Speedway. Last year, the top dollar spent on a single Longhorn was $81,000, and TLBAA members invited to the event include celebrities, such as Jeanine Turner, Barry Corbin, Red McCombs and Don Imus.
