Alumni

From the President, Trevor Caviness '98

Hello friends,

Here come the Holidays!  What a crazy fall it has been in the markets with all the global politics and newsworthy events going on.  It is so important to keep a level head and seek as much quality input and advice as you can!  Roundup in January is a great opportunity to network, ask questions, and catch up on old friendships. 

This year for the Saturday morning session we are excited to have Dr. Dale Woerner, Cargill Endowed Professor with Texas Tech Meat Science, come and give a presentation on an exciting initiative regarding the potential evolution of carcass yield grades.  New technologies such as 3-D imaging, computed tomography (CT) and artificial intelligence now allow processors to predict and measure carcass composition with striking accuracy.  It is really great information you don’t want to miss! 

Also, as you have seen, we have a “block of 350 tickets” for the Saturday night rodeo on January 31.  They will be first come, first serve.  We will have a Ranch Management social hour and dinner at the newly renovated and updated Backstage Club at the Will Rogers Memorial Center prior and then make our way on over to the rodeo at Dickies Arena.  The tickets you buy for the rodeo will be good for all day grounds access if you choose to make full use of that as well.

Please sign up and claim your tickets by the December 20 deadline!  It will be great to show our TCU Ranch Management pride with a large contingent!

On behalf of the Alumni Association, I wish you all a wonderful Christmas season and a prosperous New Year! 

Best Regards,

Trevor Caviness
