Ron
and Barbara Marquess and Rex Mosser Welcome Dr. Michio Kaku to
Ranch
With a film crew tracing his steps, Dr. Michio Kaku found
his way to the Marquess Arrow Ranch, Ben Wheeler, TX, to meet
with Rex Mosser, Midway, TX, and Ron and Barbara
Marquess, Ben Wheeler, TX, about their scientifically
bred cattle on Sunday May 27, 2007.
Dr. Kaku is a professor at the New York City University and
wanted to see the scientifically bred cattle because he was
interested in the effects of technology on cattle breeding and
he wanted Ron Marquess to explain the process.
Marquess enjoyed talking with Dr. Kaku and said “It’s
pretty neat to have a man so scientifically renowned show up
at your ranch and ask what you’re up to.”
“He was fully aware of what we’re
doing,” Marquess said. “You think you’re pretty well
hidden out here in the country and a man with his knowledge
knows what you’re doing and comes a’lookin’.”

-Mosser collection of scientifically bred cattle. According to
Barbara Marquess, Dr. Kaku was shocked by the amount of these
special cattle. Dr. Kaku told the Marquess’ that the show
should air sometime in September. See
the 2057 Web site for more information about the show.See

Australian
Television Show Films Marquess Arrow Ranch and Fort
Worth Herd
Robert Hagan, host of the Australian TV Show Robert
Hagan’s A Splash of Colour, recently
visited the Marquess Arrow Ranch in Ben Wheeler, TX,
in search of the biggest and longest horned Texas
Longhorns. Ron and Barbara Marquess
were delighted to introduce him to the 2006 Horn
Showcase Tip-to-Tip Champion Trophy Steer Watson 101.

Herd.

Before the cameras began rolling, Hagan met with the
Marquess’ to get a better understanding of the Texas
Longhorn. “The Longhorn is still here and embraced by
special people,” Hagan said. “And is still a genetic
goldmine.”
|
|

Robert
Hagan enjoyed walking amongst the Marquess herd
and took plenty of photos for his painting.
Hagan’s Cameraman and Director Barry Wale
enjoyed the chance to film such a beautiful and
interesting subject.
|
While at the ranch Hagan witnessed
the “genetic goldmine” first hand as he walked among
the Marquess herd. Hagan commented that the Longhorns
were very gentle and allowed him to get close enough
with his film crew to shoot footage for the show. He
marveled at the different types of horn and the various
color schemes on the hides. He commented that the
Longhorn was a “special breed being kept by special
people in a special way.”
Ron Marquess was pleased to inform Hagan about every
aspect of his herd by showing him which sires mated with
which dams to get a desired trait.

twice-daily parade through the stockyards. Hagan stopped
by the TLBAA office to interview TLBAA General Manager
Larry Barker for the television show and to continue his
history lesson about the Texas Longhorn.
