Shall We Gather?
By Ellen H. Brisendine

I
HOPE YOUR ANSWER TO THE QUESTION IN THIS HEADLINE IS A RESOUNDING, “YES!” I hope you are planning to gather with your fellow cattle raisers at one of the several ranch gatherings scheduled for this month, next month,
November and December. And I hope you’ll bring a friend who’s not a member of TSCRA but in
your opinion should be. Ranch gatherings come in second on my TSCRA fun-meter. First on my
fun-meter is writing about brush management (anytime I can advocate ripping, shredding or controlled burning is a good day, and I hear from you readers that you enjoy it, too). But back to ranch gatherings — please take a look at the calendar of
TSCRA events to fi nd a gathering near you. The calendar is available in just about every form you might need. It’s in the back of the print and online versions of The Cattleman magazine; on the home page of
tscra.org and
thecattlemanmagazine.com; it’s its own department on The Cattleman NOW on your smartphone and The Cattleman Plus tablet app; and it’s in The Cattleman News Update, a newsletter delivered to your email inbox every day, if you’ve given us your email address. I ask you to fi nd a gathering near you and then fi nd a friend, neigh-
bor, ranch client or local community leader who isn’t a member to bring with you. The sponsors of the gathering will provide a great beef meal. TSCRA will provide some interesting information about law enforcement and legislative activities. You’ll get to visit with your neighbors and fi nd out how much rain they’ve gotten. And you will have shared the TSCRA community with someone who could benefi t from membership. That seems like a good value for the cost of your time and a little bit
of gas to drive to the gathering. So, shall we gather? I really hope so.
