Who in the world is Tom Lockwood?

Tom was born 4/12/51 in Ft. Worth, Texas. He attended Texas A&M University 1969 and joined the U.S. Army and spent a tour of duty in Germany as an entry control agent of a nuclear weapons storage facility for 22 months. This position required a National Maximum Security Clearance. He was honorably discharged from the Army in 1972 and married his wife, Melanie. They have three sons - Jason, Barrett and Trent.

In 1964 Tom's parents bought their first ranch and Tom bought his first horse. He has been a full-time cattle and horse rancher since 1976, the fifth generation of Texas ranchers in his family. In 1973 Tom purchased his first ranch. They moved to their present location and established a 300 cow registered Hereford cattle operation in 1976.

In 1979, Tom founded the Brazos Valley Hereford Breeders Association and served as Secretary-Treasurer and Sales Manager for 10 years. He managed 22 registered cattle sales until their dispersal in 1994. Tom was selected for the first class of the Texas Agriculture Lifetime Leadership Program. He was a volunteer lobbyist for a national farm organization in 1996 and as a result of his direct meetings with House and Senate Agricultural Committee Chairmen, rules negatively impacting family operations in the existing farm bill were amended.

1988 was the year Tom started their Quarter Horse breeding operation. In 2000, Tom started TOM LOCKWOOD HORSE SALES to create a market for his horses and other breeders with similar goals. The mission of these sales is to provide management based on the Golden Rule, providing the highest professional standards and uncompromising ethics for both buyer and seller. Strive for perfection and along the way you will achieve excellence.
