SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 389
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
recognize Capitol Land and Livestock on the occasion of its 75th |
|
|
anniversary; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Capitol Land and Livestock was founded in 1946 by |
|
|
Eugene Schwertner; one of the largest cattle dealers in the |
|
|
United States, the company is still owned and managed by members |
|
|
of the Schwertner family; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Capitol Land and Livestock is headquartered in |
|
|
Schwertner, Texas, and procures cattle throughout the state and |
|
|
in Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana; the business serves a |
|
|
unique role within the industry by operating through a hub system |
|
|
that enables the company to prepare cattle in a matter of hours |
|
|
for shipment to buyers around the world and allows for the |
|
|
efficient assembly and sorting of hundreds of cattle each day; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In addition to buying and selling cattle, the |
|
|
company also offers a weaning program, Schwertner Select, which |
|
|
allows calves to graze in their natural habitat during the |
|
|
weaning process; the methods employed in the program reduce |
|
|
stress on the calves and add value to customers' cattle, and the |
|
|
company has weaned over 100,000 calves each year for the past |
|
|
three decades; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, For 75 years, Capitol Land and Livestock has |
|
|
played a significant role in making Texas a leader in cattle |
|
|
ranching and farming, and it is truly fitting that the company |
|
|
receive special recognition as it reaches this milestone in its |
|
|
history; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby commend Capitol Land and Livestock on its |
|
|
many contributions to the cattle industry in the Lone Star State |
|
|
and extend to its owners and employees best wishes for continued |
|
|
success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
|
the company as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. |
