Retiring Address

By Billy Zack Taylor, ASA Board Member

It is a true honor and pleasure to have served on the Board of Directors for the American Shorthorn Association.  During the two terms, I have had the privilege of representing the wants and desires of any member which conveyed any concern or idea.  Furthermore, as a Board we have made several changes for the future of the Shorthorn breed.  There will need to be several changes in the future as well. 

I encourage any member which has a love for the future of this great breed of cattle to run for the board.  We have a great Executive Secretary with a great vision.  The remaining Board is very progressive and truly has a great desire for the Shorthorn breed to succeed in all aspects of the cattle industry.  It is vital that the entire United States is represented. I encourage any member to run that cares about the progressive future of the Shorthorn breed, not only in your area but the entire United States. 


Interested in running for the ASA Board of Directors at the 2013 Annual Meeting in Denver? Please sumbit your intent to run along with a write-up of yourself and photo to the ASA by November 1, 2013. All candidates will have their write-up and photo published in the December issue of the Shorthorn Country.
