To all my brothers, and sisters. Happy San Jacinto day. It was the start of something truly great.

Thanks Ron!

History of the San Jacinto Monument and Museum

Other than March 2, Texas Independence Day, San Jacinto Day is the biggest day in Texas History.


Texas is the only state to have an Independence Day celebration.

The Battle at San Jacinto and the signing of the Treaties at Velasco ended the Texas Revolution and began the Republic of Texas. Over one third of the US land mass changed hands as a result.

The Battleground: Then and Now. Two maps, one decisive battle.

It's worth the trip to see the Monument and the collection of artifacts.

My kids liked it and the Battleship of Texas.

On April 21, 1836, Sam Houston & the Texian Army defeated Santa Anna & the Mexican Army at the Battle of San Jacinto. Texas Independence was secured. May we never forget the sacrifice of those who put Texas on the path of exceptionalism.

Very neat this year that we celebrated Easter and San Jacinto Day at the same time!

Yes sir, and it seems appropriate.
Jesus died for our sins, and some of these men died for our freedom.

Isn't it nice, except for the intensity of the storms that keep coming from the west coast. I love the rain, just don't need the tornadoes or hail and high wind. They are saying this one might flood the hill country and lakes above Austin.

KBTX has us at 100% today but so far nothing. Looks like the bottom could fall out at any time.

We've gotten a little more than 1/2 inch since midnight. I don't think we're going to get as much as it's been forecast.

Save the Dates: August 5-7 at TAMU!

Held August 5-7, 2019 at Texas A&M University

The Texas A&M Beef Cattle Short Course has a rich tradition and historical place in the programs emanating from the Department of Animal Science at Texas A&M University. Dating as far back as 1942, Professor John K Riggs started the first in a series of Beef Cattle Short Courses held on the campus of Texas A&M College to discuss the results of beef cattle research from the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station with Texas beef producers. This historical beginning and purpose is still the standard today for the Beef Cattle Short Course held at Texas A&M University.

Today the highly respected TAM Beef Cattle Short Course is nationally and internationally recognized as the largest attended beef cattle educational program of its type in the world. It has gained the respect from organizations, associations, Land Grant universities and agencies alike as the focal point for beef cattle educational information. The Cattleman’s College features more than 20 concurrent sessions. Topics include animal health, nutrition, reproduction, breeding, genetics, selection, research, marketing and handling. Management sessions will cover business, forage, range, and purebred cattle. Topics such as landowner issues and fence building will be featured at this BCSC.

Sessions are designed for everyone, from the newest member of the industry to the most seasoned producer.
A number of pesticide CEUs, veterinarian CECs and BQA credits are available to attendees Additionally, over 150 agriculture related businesses and trade show exhibitors annually attend the course and attest to the fact that it is the most highly attended activity of its kind anywhere in the United States. Annually over 1,700 participants attend the Beef Cattle Short Course to gain valuable knowledge about beef cattle production.

This is one of the best events you will ever attend.
