The Mountain States Texas Longhorn Association (MSTLA) has elected Randy Witte president for 2011. A longtime Longhorn producer, Witte is also a director of ITLA. He and his wife Marsha are also recipients of the prestigious ITLA Unsung Heroes Award for 2010--in recognition of their years of tireless service to the members of MSTLA and the Longhorn industry. Their volunteer efforts have included chairing the Heart of the Rockies Texas Longhorn show each summer in Colorado and hosting the highly popular pre-show party at their Red Ink Ranch near Peyton, Colorado.
Before his retirement a few years ago, Randy was publisher of Western Horseman magazine, where he had spent 29 years. Before that he headed the Rodeo News Bureau and served as editor of Rodeo Sports News at the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. His considerable creative skills have been utilized in behalf of not only the Texas Longhorn industry but also the National Western Stock Show & Rodeo, the country's largest stock show.
Congratulations to Randy Witte!
