Letter from<br />

<strong>the</strong> Webmaster<br />

Our AMZA website is a work in progress. We<br />

have added <strong>the</strong> show result pages with full<br />

color pictures of <strong>the</strong> top winners, and printable<br />

pages of all <strong>the</strong> placings. If your name<br />

and animal is <strong>the</strong>re without a photo, please<br />

send it to me so we can get your winner on<br />

line.<br />

Thanks to all <strong>the</strong> hard work from Dottie Love,<br />

<strong>the</strong> Journals are also on line and archived so<br />

you will not have to miss an issue. The Bulletin<br />

page keeps our members updated with<br />

<strong>the</strong> most current information coming down<br />

from <strong>the</strong> President, David Millison, as to what<br />

is coming up in <strong>the</strong> future. There are a lot of<br />

events in <strong>the</strong> planning stages that you will not<br />

want to miss, so please check it out.<br />

Also, if you have any good head shots of horn<br />

shapes that we do not have, or colors that<br />

needed to be added to our color page, you<br />

can send those also.<br />

We have added a page for <strong>the</strong> members to see<br />

how many points and wins <strong>the</strong>ir animals have<br />

accumulated and will keep up with it so you do<br />

not have to. In addition, we will make a page to<br />

post <strong>the</strong> Permanent Grand Champion names.<br />

We hope to add more informational pages in<br />

<strong>the</strong> future when we find <strong>the</strong> time. An example<br />

is a page that shows some of <strong>the</strong> maladies that<br />

<strong>the</strong> zebu cattle breed might have, and hopefully<br />

remedies or preventions for <strong>the</strong>se things.<br />

Ano<strong>the</strong>r page we’re planning is one of David’s<br />

projects, a page called ‘You Be The Judge”.<br />

This page will be an on-line judging experience<br />

for a class or two of our animals, and will<br />

discuss <strong>the</strong> evaluation techniques and reasons<br />

for each placing. The point of this is to see how<br />

good you are at evaluating <strong>the</strong> breed standards<br />

of our <strong>Zebu</strong> cattle, and to become better at it.<br />

We also plan to have an online store for AMZA.<br />

Bernie Keasler has volunteered his expertise<br />

to do this for AMZA. We will have many items<br />

that you can purchase such as AMZA T-shirts,<br />

signs, and o<strong>the</strong>r zebu and club items for sale.<br />

We also plan to include PayPal access to make<br />

taking credit cards easier. You will even be able<br />

to register your animals on line.<br />

We hope to make this website <strong>the</strong> best out<br />

<strong>the</strong>re and appreciate any ideas or contributions<br />

that you might have to offer.<br />

Until <strong>the</strong> next journal, Happy <strong>Zebu</strong>ing!<br />
