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.
