ETWEEN JUNE AND DECEMBER OF THIS YEAR, TEXAS AND Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA)


will conduct more than 28 ranch gatherings in Texas and Oklahoma. This month I’d like to recognize one of TSCRA’s key partners in helping carry out these events. If you have attended a ranch gathering you will


notice one of the unique features of these events. We take the time to feed each attendee a steak meal, BBQ or some other beef dish. All attendees, regardless of whether they are a TSCRA member or local rancher, will be fed at no charge. In previous years TSCRA has arranged for caterers


to provide this food at each ranch gathering, which generated signifi cant expense that had to be paid by local sponsors. This expense limited the amount of events TSCRA could attend and the number of mem- bers with whom we could interact. For 2013, TSCRA was approached by Novartis Ani-


mal Health with an offer to cook at all TSCRA ranch gatherings. We happily accepted their offer and have been enjoying Novartis’ cooking ever since.

thecattlemanmagazine.com Novartis employees Clint Lewis, Bob Stippel, Todd


Tieperman and Ryan Beiswanger have taken the lead in cooking for ranch gatherings. In addition to being outstanding cooks, they provide a wealth of informa- tion for attendees with any animal health questions. By the end of 2013, Novartis will have cooked for


nearly 5,000 TSCRA members and ranchers. Their cooperation has allowed TSCRA leadership and staff to visit with more members and spend more time sharing information about all the great things TSCRA is accomplishing on behalf of its members. By defraying the catering costs they have also allowed TSCRA to conserve funds that may be redirected to other TSCRA activities. If you see any of the Novartis representatives at a


ranch gathering, please thank them for their support of TSCRA programs. If you have an opportunity to pur- chase Novartis products, please show them the same support they have shown TSCRA. They have certainly earned it.
