He also sold Moorman's mineral for a period, but never left the cattle business until his retirement last May. He took a great deal of pride in the herd quality Limousin cattle he had established over the years.

He was also a member of the Texas and Southwest Cattle Raisers Association, the American National Cattlemans Association, the Oklahoma Limousin Breeders Association and Green Country Limousin Association.
