HE VOLUNTEER LEADERS OF THE YOUNG LEADERSHIP SERIES (YLS) program at Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA) hosted the fi rst


YLS Leadership Conference, July 24 and 25, at the as- sociation headquarters in Fort Worth. More than 20 young cattle raisers, ages 40 and


younger, signed up for the Conference that offered an afternoon session on leadership training by Scott Abel with the Anne Grady Group, and ample time to talk with TSCRA offi cers and directors through panel discussions and breakout sessions. Lengthy breaks and the overall informal nature of


the Conference fostered a give-and-take atmosphere that led to good discussions of the practical issues of the business of ranching. The Conference was sponsored by Merck Animal


Health, and was organized by April Bonds, Saginaw, Mandy Dauses, Kemp; Dr. Kim McCuistion, Kingsville; LeMoine Knox, Coleman; Cody Fry, Armstrong; Rocky Sullivan, Galveston; and Dr. Ryan Rhoades, Kingsville. Many thanks to the TSCRA offi cers and directors who served on the panels — Pete Bonds, president; Richard Thorpe, fi rst vice president; Gordon Sauer, Fredericks- burg; Jim Palmer, Matador; Jim Link, Crowley; Rooter Brite, Bowie; Curtis Younts, Belton; and Joe Leathers, Guthrie.
