Youth have the chance to win $100 savings bonds at the East Texas State Fair on Sept 30 – Oct. 1 in Tyler, TX. Class winners in the Youth Division will take home the money to be put toward their education.

The entry deadline is Sept. 1, 2005 with a $30 fee. The show also includes Haltered and “Free” Divisions.

Cowboys Usher Texas Longhorns in Frontier Days Prelude
By Jolie Breeden, Rocky Mountain News
Seven hundred head of Texas Longhorn steers traveling down Central Avenue in Cheyenne, WY mark the beginning of Cheyenne Frontier Days and the 109-year- old rodeo.
The pilgrimage, kept in line with help from about 30 or 40 outriders, has been drawing spectators for about 20 years.
The cattle drive will be one of the less demanding performances for the steers, which will be used in roping and steer-wrestling events.
All that activity will set the stage for the rodeo, which is slated to begin Friday, July 22 and run through July 31.
NCBA Statement on U.S.
Court of Appeals Decision
Jim McAdams, Adkins, Texas cattle producer and President, NCBA
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit today has overturned a lower court's ruling banning imports of Canadian cattle. The National Cattlemen's Beef Association is pleased that the 9th Circuit Court agreed with the science: beef is safe from bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). U.S. Cattlemen are best served when international trade is based on science and we expect our trading partners to follow the science that BSE does not pose a public health or food safety risk.
