Handy Organization Tips Presented in


a New Design By Ellen H. Brisendine


I


f this is the year you intend to organize your ranch, then we have the tips for you. We turned to our friends and members for most of the tips and ideas.


Katrina Huffstutler will work with 4 Texas and Southwestern Cattle Rais- ers Association directors, who are bankers, to bring the “Ask A Banker” series of articles to readers in 2017. Look for the fi rst tips from Van Baize on page 78. Stan Bevers, recently retired from Texas A&M University AgriLife Ex-


tension, explains how to set up ranch records in his interview with Caitlin Richards in this issue. Larry Stalcup takes a look at reasons to incorporate your ranch. This business move opens up a lot of options for ranchers, particularly when it comes to medical insurance options. All of this information, and much more, is wrapped in a new design for


The Cattleman magazine. Linda Lee, production manager, worked with team members Liberty Campbell, production graphic artist and Joyce Marsden, copy editor, to lead the refresh and redesign of this venerable magazine. These staff members, along with Kristin Hawkins, editor of The Cattleman Update, are also to be complimented on the extraordinary work they did in the complete redevelopment of the association website, tscra.org. This new website design is as useful on your smartphone and tablet as


it is on your desktop or laptop. We hope you like the fresh, clean design of the website and magazine. Be sure to bookmark our app, The Cattle- man NOW, on your smartphone or tablet so you’ll have easy access to the entire suite of TSCRA communications tools. I wish everyone a happy and prosperous New Year. Thanks for start- ing out 2017 with Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association. ❚
