WELCOME
Dear Brahman Enthusiasts: On behalf of the American Brahman Breeders Association we would like to invite you to the 2016 International Brahman Sale. This year’s sale is undoubtedly one of the most exciting as we have assembled one of the highest quality, most elite set of females and genetic opportunities to have ever been offered in the sale. In the cattle business, success depends on the power and productivity of one’s cowherd. In life, success depends on taking advantage of opportunities. As you take the time to look through the catalog we hope you realize the opportunity to add strength to your breeding program. You will notice many opportunities to own some outstanding females and purchase genetics from some of the most sought after animals in the breed. As in the past we have videoed the offerings for your further inspection of the cattle. The videos and sale catalog can be viewed at www.brahman.org. If you are not able to attend the sale on Wednesday, March 2nd you can view and bid online through Cattle In Motion at www.cattleinmotion.com. On the day of the sale, the pre-sale cattle viewing and cocktail party will begin at 5 PM with the sale starting promptly at 6:30 PM. Immediately following the sale will be the annual semen sale, benefiting the ABBA Research & Breed Improvement Committee. More opportunities will abound at the semen sale with many lots being offered to the public that are not available on the open market. You can view the semen offerings prior to the sale on the ABBA website or pick up a catalog at the ABBA Booth in the NGR Center.
In closing, we would like to thank you for your continued support of the International Sale and of the Brahman breed. Please remember success is where preparation meets opportunity. Are you prepared to take the steps to ensure your success? Hope to see you sale day!

DAM OF THE 2014 INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION, JDH LADY BABETTE MANSO 486/4.
What a great opportunity to be able to purchase an IVF Aspiration on a proven Register of Renown Dam. Murile has garnered much fame by producing an International Champion daughter and an International Champion Produce of Dam. Her proven performance comes as no surprise being sired by the Register of Renown and proven sire, +JDH Mr. Brandon Manso 761/3 who is best known for producing champions like the 2006 International Champion, JDH Miss Suzanne Manso, and the 2007 Reserve National Champion, JDH Mr. Ashton Manso 193/4, among others. The dam to this great female has reached the status of Maternal Merit by weaning off heavy calves on a regular basis. The maternal superiority of her dam was transmitted to Murile with her calving interval over four natural calves being 352 days in addition to ranking in the top 20% of the breed for Milking Ability. This is a great opportunity to purchase an IVF Aspiration on a proven dam that combines all of the things required of a great donor- pedigree, eye appeal and performance. The IVF Aspiration can be done immediately at Trans Ova Genetics and a minimum of five (5) embryos will be guaranteed. As an added bonus any bull owned by Moreno Ranches can be utilized in the procedure.

SHARING OUR BEST WITH YOU! This great young heifer is truly one that is hard for us to sell but it comes with great excitement that we are able to share our best with you in this prestigious sale!!! This beautiful cherry red heifer has the eye appeal that will catch anyone’s attention and the volume, thickness, structural correctness and bone to make you fall in love with her regardless of your focus. Her pedigree is as proven as they come being sired by the International Champion, Show Bull of the Year, Register of Renown and sire of champions, +Mr Winchester Magnum 999/3. Her dam is equally impressive being our top donor who has produced several different international division champions with multiple different matings including the 2011 International Champion, Mr H Hampton Rojo 201/1. This heifer is without question the best one that we have ever offered and has drawn much praise by all who have seen her. She can be the foundation of any herd combining a great pedigree, above average growth and milk numbers and most importantly an attractive look. 518/5 is halter broke and ready for the ring or the front pasture.
