2010 Super Stakes Results
by Larry Barker
Although the temperature was well over 100 degrees, exhibitors arriving at the 2010 Autobahn Super Stakes were not deterred. The hardiness and tenacity of Texas Longhorn youth was on display as they went about the business of unloading their animals and preparing for the three day Super Stakes.
BLL Hondo’s Warrior
TLBAA members Lori and Gregg Beeson, Lewisburg, TN were able to participate this week at the Williamson County Fair in Franklin, TN, even though the Longhorn show was cancelled this year. They displayed their big trophy steer BLL Hondo’s Warrior. According to Lori the gentle giant is a favorite in the Children’s Barnyard, but he was also a favorite of actress Ashley Judd and race car driver husband Dario Fanchitti. The couple stopped by for a visit and took photos with him. Lori said they made comments about his size and how kind natured he was. Lori and Gregg what great ambassadors you are for the breed!

Weekly Texas Hay Report
Amarillo, TX Fri Aug 13 2010 USDA-TX Dept of Ag
Market News
Weekly Texas Hay Report
Compared to last week: Hay prices generally steady. Trade and demand moderate. Hot days continued this week, having the most adverse effect on East Texas where drought conditions and short soil moisture are being reported. This has caused hay yields to be short in this area and some livestock are being supplemented feed. Most other regions of the state are reporting adequate soil moisture and good pasture conditions with very little supplemental feeding being reported. Still, some livestock producers are beginning to stock pile hay for fall and winter. Horse and Dairy quality hay is becoming more difficult to find, causing prices to remain firm. There is a large volume of damaged hay available on the market keeping pressure on the lower quality hay prices.
Prices for hay and pellets quoted per ton except where noted.
The state of Texas Department of Agriculture has the Hay and Grazing Hot Line set up for buyers and sellers; the number is 1-877-429-1998. The web site for TDA is www.tda.state.tx.us.
