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.
Schwertner
