Joel Dickinson

Joel Dickinson was raised on the family cattle ranch in Colorado. Breeds of registered cattle raised included Texas Longhorns, Buelingo, and Watusi.

Joel received a genetic scholarship to Abilene Christian College and later transferred to Colorado State University to earn an Ag Business Degree, plus additional further studies toward a doctorate.

Joel moved to Barnesville, Ohio, September, 1993 and started developing DCCI. As manager of the cattle herds he was in charge of AI, herd health, nutrition, conservation, matings and has 7 full time employees. Dickinson Cattle Co, LLC runs up to 1600 head of registered cattle in the Appalachian foothills of Ohio. DCCI markets registered cattle, semen and embryos worldwide. Joel bred and raised Tempter, Over Kill, Winchester, Field of Pearls, Victory Lap, and Drag Iron.

Joel married Misty Stagner of Alamosa, CO, and they have 3 children, Marshall, Kara and Bry.

Stacy Workman

Stacy Workman, along with her husband, Dan, own and operate DSW Longhorns, in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. After getting started with grade stock, they purchased their first registered Longhorn in 2004. By 2006, they attended as many shows as possible on the East Coast, including the Championship Show in Harrisonburg, Virginia.

Dan and Stacy have been very blessed to have raised an Elite cow, DSW Northern Belle, and they are looking forward to DSW No Foolin' earning her Elite status, hopefully, this year.

The Workmans have been active members of NETLA for 10 years. Stacy served as Secretary for 7 years and has judged NETLA Youth Shows, as well as county fairs. She is thankful for the opportunity she had to meet the great people of MTLA and CTTLA while judging their shows, after being approved as a judge in 2009.

Stacy home-schools their three children, Luke, Lane and Leeann. She also markets the beef from their Longhorns and enjoys baking, gardening, raking hay and halter-breaking calves.

Stacy would like to thank you for the opportunity to judge God's most beautiful breed of cattle. She is so honored to be selected as the Youth Judge for the 2015 Championship Show.

Blessings to Randy Witte

by Darol Dickinson

Randy Witte, who has gathered and edited news for ITLA for years, is going to be out of commission for a while. He has asked me to help with the educational articles and ITLA news in his absence. Although I can't hold a lantern to his writing skills, I am going to try. You can send photos and info to darol@texaslonghorn.com regarding ITLA happenings.

Randy and his wife, Marsha, live on their Red Ink Ranch in Peyton, Colorado. They have raised many Championship Texas Longhorns. They are especially tough at the Denver National Western where Marsha's ancestors (Peavys) dominated early day livestock events over 50 years ago.

Randy was for many years publisher of the Western Horseman Magazine, the largest circulation livestock magazine in history. He has written several books and basically "done it all." Now Randy faces some unknown health challenges and is soon to move to Mayo Clinic for the world's best care. A kind word of prayer for this great Texas Longhorn supporter and his sweet wife is in order. Thank you, Randy, and may the Lord bless you with rapid recovery.

Get the Picture!

By Darol Dickinson

What if the bull Top Caliber was not registered? What if his parentage and pedigree was incorrect, unknown or undocumented? He would be an "unregistered-unknown." Obviously, there would be a lot of difference in his value. That is the main reason for ITLA registrations, to document, preserve and promote the values and historic pedigree records. A registration certificate verifies value. For just $15 ITLA provides a quality certificate and keeps computer records perpetually. Now that is a buy!!

This is the iRegisterITLA.com on-line certificate with personalized full color photo. This shows the reasons for increased popularity of duplicate certificates.

A few years ago a giant step forward at the ITLA computer level made it possible to add a full color photo on the certificate face. This highly applauded technical advance brought about an increase in double registrations, as most registries do not have these computer capabilities. Not only does the photo add a touch of authority and class to the certificate, it provides a detailed identity. When cattle are commingled, with only a few spots difference, the certificate photo is a great help. Ask any sale manager.

The simple fee of $15 pays for the recording, certificate and the full color photo. To get the $15 rate cattle must be registered before they are 14 months old. The photo provided to ITLA must be taken at a juvenile age. For identification, this is fine, but soon a Texas Longhorn will develop those huge serpentine things on their heads and no longer look like the original baby photos.

The best of both worlds is.....do a duplicate certificate when each animal is mature. When the adult Texas Longhorn's beauty glows with maturity, get a great new photo and send in $15 to ITLA. A new certificate will be produced with the new improved photo. It will look great.

This is a service only offered by ITLA to provide for the total needs of members. Not only that, a totally computer generated certificate can be developed right at home on your own computer with the iRegister process. It just keeps getting better.

Those who use the iRegister ITLA computer registration program say it is the simplest in the industry -- the quickest application and certificate to complete.

Send in new photos for ITLA duplicate replacement certificates pronto and there will be a lightning swift turn around. Do it now!!

CTLA President's Report May 2015
