The East Texas Longhorn Association had several members attend the Mesquite Championship Rodeo in early July for the 2023 Texas Longhorn Steer Championship. The championship show is organized by ETLA members Hailey Mann and Joel Norris, who have put together a qualifying and points system to award attendees in numerous areas. The Burkham Family, The Yarborough Family, and The Roberson Family were all ETLA members who attended the event. Doug Burkham exhibited the Grand Champion Steer, and Rylee Yarborough exhibited the Reserve Grand Champion Steer, several others were also awarded during the event.
