Annual Convention Grapevine, Texas Tcfa.org Nov. 8-10
Going Fishing Bawling calves and hanging dust That gets in ears and forms a crust Around the nostrils and the lips; The contest has commenced As carefully the nylon dips To heels for dragging to the fire. Take your time since slow is fast And we won’t quit until the last Has tag and brand and vaccination That will start them on a path To feed a growing nation The nutritious beef that they desire. Across the dry and dusty Plains. A land of sparse, infrequent rains, Neighbors from across the land Gather in branding pens To lend a helping hand Once each year sometime in the spring. There are smiles and jokes Among these ranching folks As they work the long and dusty day In heat and wind With a late meal for pay And hearts full of this simple thing.
