ABBA OFFICERS & EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE President: George Kempfer Vice President: Loren Pratt Seceretary/Treasurer: Jim-Bob Trant Immediate Past President: J.D. Sartwelle, Jr. Larry Ford Dr. Scott Satterfield Rick Butler Craig Fontenot Joe Ward Larry Barthle

Important Rule Changes from the Board Of Directors Meeting In Fort Worth 1.

The previous (computer-generated) Color Rule has been changed and the ABBA Registry System has been reset to allow the breeder to determine the color of an animal at the time of registration. Any member wishing to change the color designation of an animal that was previously assigned a color by the old computer method may return the Original Certificate to the ABBA Office to have the corrections made for a fee of $5 per transaction. Check the website soon for a posting of the full new Color Rule (color-chart method). The new Color Rule (color-chart method) will go into effect starting at the International Show in Houston this year.

The DNA and Parent Verification Rules that went into effect on January 1, 2017, have been postponed and reset to the old rules that were in effect as of December 31, 2016. The postponement will last until the Winter Board Meeting of January 2019, at which time a plan for reinstatement will be determined beginning with embryo transfer (E.T.) calves. The ABBA registry system will no longer require DNA parent verification for E.T. calves to process registration papers. The ABBA encourages all members to take advantage of this postponement period by continuing to submit DNA samples on all animals including but not limited to donor dams, herd sires, replacement females and any cattle deemed important to the future of your program. Please work to resolve any outstanding DNA issues and ensure that all held-up registrations are received from the ABBA Office. Use this transition period to be better prepared for the future reinstatement of DNA Parent Verification Rules beginning in 2019.

| THE BRAHMAN JOURNAL

President George Kempfer will be naming a Special DNA Sub-Committee to use this 1-year

postponement period to better prepare for and handle the demands of future DNA Rules. This Sub-Committee will work to review current DNA technologies; improve communication by and between testing Labs; integrate cattle that were tested on dated technology; and develop a seamless process to marry the DNA-testing and reporting process with our new Online Animal Registry and Pedigree System (Livestock Genetic Services). This Sub-Committee will work with ABBA members, the testing laboratories and Livestock Genetic Services to make any necessary revisions to our DNA requirements and propose a path to successfully move forward with the eventual reinstatement of DNA-testing requirements. 4.

Please remember to stop by the ABBA Booth in Houston to sign up for your new Enhanced Username and Password. The new Online Registry System will not utilize your existing login information. You must create a new account to access the Online Registry portion of the new Online Registry System. There will be a banner displayed above the ABBA Booth reminding members to create their new online accounts.

There is an Aged Cattle Registration Moratorium in effect from 03/01/2018 to 08/31/2018 for cattle over 24 months of age.

The Sardo Negro Herd Book will be added to the ABBA Herd Books. All Herd Books will be opened for a six month period (effective 3/1/18 to 8/31/18) allowing members to transfer animals from one herd book into another at a fee of $10.00 per animal.

| THE BRAHMAN JOURNAL

Las anteriores Reglas de Color (generadas por computadora) han sido cambiadas y el Sistema de Registro de la ABBA ha sido reiniciado para permitir a los criadores determinar el color de un animal en el momento de hacer el registro. Cualquier miembro que desee cambiar el color que previamente se le asignó a un animal, por el método de selección anterior, debe regresar el Certificado Original a las Oficinas de la ABBA para tener las correcciones hechas con un valor de $5 dólares por cambio. Checa el sitio web para ver un artículo completo de las Nuevas Reglas de Color (método de tabla de colores). Las nuevas Reglas de Color (método de tabla de colores) tendrán efecto a partir del evento Internacional en Houston de este año.

La verificación parental y de ADN que tomaron efecto el primero de Enero de 2017, han sido pospuestas y reiniciadas junto con las reglas anteriores que fueron puestas en acción el 31 de Diciembre del 2016. El aplazamiento durará hasta la siguiente reunión de Invierno de la Mesa Directiva en Enero del 2019, en la cual se determinará un plan para de reintegración que comenzará con la transferencia de embriones (E.T). El sistema de Registro de la ABBA no requerirá de verificación parental por medio de ADN para el proceso de registro de papeles de las transferencias de embriones. La ABBA exhorta a todos los miembros a aprovechar este período de aplazamiento al continuar enviando muestras de ADN de todos los animales incluyendo madres donadoras, sementales, hembras de reemplazo y cualquier ganado considerado importante para el futuro de su programa. Resuelva cualquier problema de ADN pendiente y asegúrese de que todos los registros retenidos se reciban en la oficina de la ABBA. Usen este período de transición para estar mejor preparados para el futuro restablecimiento de la regla de verificación parental por ADN que comenzará en 2019.

El presidente George Kempfer nombrará a un subcomité especial de ADN para trabajar este primer año, durante el periodo de aplazamiento, en estar mejor preparado y manejar las futuras situaciones con respecto a las reglas de ADN. Este subcomité trabajará para revisar la actual tecnología de ADN; mejorar la comunicación entre los laboratorios de pruebas; integrar ganado que haya sido examinado por pruebas anticuadas; y desarrollar un proceso continuo para unir las pruebas de ADN con el proceso de reporte de nuestro nuevo sistema de Registro y pedigree en línea (Licestock Genetic Services). Este subcomité trabajará con los miembros de la ABBA, los laboratorios de pruebas y el Servicio Genético de Ganado para hacer las revisiones necesarias de nuestros requerimientos de ADN y proponer un camino para un avance exitoso en la futura reinserción de las pruebas de ADN requeridas.

Por favor tengan presente pasar al estand de la ABBA en Houston para registrar su nuevo usuario y contraseña de Enhanced. El nuevo sistema de registro no utilizará su actual información de inicio de sesión. Deberá crear una nueva cuenta para entrar a la sección de los registros en línea en el nuevo Sistema de Registros en línea. Habrá un anuncio expuesto arriba del estand de la ABBA recordando a los miembros que deben crear sus nuevas cuentas en línea.

Hay una moratoria para el ganado viejo registrado que durará del 1° de Marzo del 2018 al 31 de Agosto del 2018 para ganado de más de 24 meses de edad.

El libro de Ganado Sardo Negro será agregado a los libros de ganado de la ABBA. Todos los libros de ganado estarán abiertos por un período de seis meses (del 1/01/2018 al 31/08/2018), permitiendo a los miembros transferir animales de un libro a otro por un costo de $10 dólares por animal.

HALL of FAME 2018 Inductee

I. W. Whitaker Renowned Brahman breeder I. W. Whitaker will be inducted into the Brahman Hall of Fame during the ABBA’s Annual Membership Meeting on February 28. The induction ceremony will be given by Brahman historian Marcus Shackelford. I.W. joined the ABBA in 1961 and with his two sons, Wayne and Joe Doe, operated the 2,200-acre I. W. Whitaker and Sons Ranch in Freestone County. The operation included approximately 300 registered Brahman cows and 600 Brahman crossbreds. The Brahman cows originated primarily from Frank Buffalo’s herd in Palacios, Texas. The Whitaker Brahman herd has been characterized by its quick rise to prominence. In only 14 years, it became one of the leading purebred Brahman units in the country. CONTINUED ON PAGE 20

El reconocido criador de Brahman I. W. Whitaker será incluido en el Salón de la Fama del Brahman durante la Reunión Anual de Miembros de la ABBA el 28 de febrero. La ceremonia de inducción estará a cargo del historiador de Brahman Marcus Shackelford. I.W. se unió a la ABBA en 1961 y con sus dos hijos, Wayne y Joe Doe, operaron las 2.200 hectáreas de I. W. Whitaker and Sons Ranch en el condado de Freestone. La operación incluyó aproximadamente 300 vacas Brahman registradas y 600 cruces Brahman. Las vacas Brahman se originaron principalmente de la ganadería de Frank Buffalo en Palacios, Texas. La ganadería de Whitaker Brahman se ha caracterizado por su rápido ascenso a la prominencia. En solo 14 años, se convirtió en una de las unidades de Brahman de raza pura líderes en el país. Con su hermano M.M. Whitaker de Port Lavaca, Texas y su cuñado R.Q.

With his brother M.M. Whitaker of Port Lavaca, Texas and brother-in-law R.Q. McSwane of Bay City, Texas, I.W. showed under the banner of Three W Ranches and established a highly successful show string. Among the champions shown under this banner was the 1972 National Grand Champion Brahman bull IW’S REXCRATA 204, a +SUGARLAND’S REXCRATA 1 son.

Gran Campeón Nacional de 1972 Brahman Bull IW'S REXCRATA 204, un hijo de + SUGARLAND'S REXCRATA 1.

Whitaker had purchased +SUGARLAND’S REXCRATA 1 at the 1967 National Brahman Sale in Houston, Texas from the United States Sugar Corporation’s Sugarland Ranch of Clewinston, Florida.

I.W. tuvo una gran previsión, +SUGARLAND’S REXCRATA 1 cruzó sorprendentemente bien con la genética de Buffalo. El toro tuvo un gran impacto en la raza Brahman. Él engendró muchos sementales en todo el país.

“My dad bought that bull on my mom’s birthday,” Wayne Whitaker said. I.W. had great foresight, +SUGARLAND’S REXCRATA 1 crossed amazingly on the Buffalo genetics. The bull made a huge impact on the Brahman breed. He sired many herd bulls across the country. Whitaker, also a heavy equipment contractor, was well known throughout the breed and was very active in state and national association activities. He was elected to the association’s board of directors in 1969 and was serving his second term as Texas Brahman Association president when he passed away suddenly in 1972 at the age of 52.

Whitaker había comprado + SUGARLAND'S REXCRATA 1 en la venta nacional de Brahman de 1967 en Houston, Texas, animal proveniente de la corporación de Azúcar en Sugarland Ranch Clewinston, Florida, Estados Unidos. "Mi papá compró ese toro en el cumpleaños de mi madre", dijo Wayne Whitaker.

Whitaker, también es un contratista de equipos pesados, era bien conocido en toda la raza y fue muy activo en las actividades de asociaciones estatales y nacionales. Fue elegido miembro de la junta directiva de la asociación en 1969 y estaba cumpliendo su segundo mandato como presidente de la Asociación Texas Brahman cuando falleció repentinamente en 1972 a la edad de 52 años. Cuando se le preguntó a su hijo Wayne qué pensaría I.W. de ser incluido en el Salón de la Fama, él dijo: "Él estaría muy orgulloso". Él siempre quiso ser presidente de la ABBA. Todavía era joven cuando murió, así que por supuesto no pudo serlo".

When asked what I.W. would think of being inducted into the Hall of Fame, his son Wayne said, “He would be very proud. He always wanted to be President of the ABBA. He was a young man still when he died so of course he didn’t get to see that.”

International BRAHMAN FRIEND of

THE YEAR 2018 Recipient

Ignacio Llano The American Brahman Association will present the International Friend of the Year award to Ignacio Llano of Paraguay on February 28 at the Annual Membership Meeting in Houston, Texas. “Ignacio is one of the top young, upcoming breeders in the world,” ABBA Recording Secretary Armelinda Ibarra said. “He is a true supporter of American Brahman genetics and has been extremely helpful to the association.” Llano is a fourth-generation breeder who has been around Brahmans since he was born in 1984. His family has raised Brahmans since the mid-1970s. Their ranch, Las Talas, has been competing in Paraguay’s National Show since 1980 with July marking their 38th consecutive show. Their operation is not limited to the show ring; they also market commercial crossbred Brahmans as well as purebred animals, and they were the number one seller of bulls in Paraguay in 2017, selling more than 400 bulls. Las Talas is an influential and competitive ranch in their area. It was one of the first to send animals to Brazil when the market opened up in 1994. It also sent animals to the World Brahman Congress in 1990 when it was held in Argentina. Their bull TALA PONCRATA 440 was selected as Grand Champion. Their herd is strongly influenced by J.D. Hudgins genetics, particularly the late Leslie “Bubba” Hudgins’ Division. “Bubba Hudgins did a great job here in Paraguay, and not just for us, but a lot of top breeders,” Llano said.

La Asociación Americana de Criadores Brahman presentará el premio Amigo Internacional del Año a Ignacio Llano de Paraguay el 28 de febrero en la Reunión anual de miembros en Houston, Texas. "Ignacio es uno de los criadores más jóvenes y de los mejores del mundo", dijo la secretaria de registros de la ABBA, Armelinda Ibarra. "Es un verdadero defensor de la genética americana Brahman y ha sido extremadamente útil para la asociación". Llano es un criador de cuarta generación que ha estado con la raza Brahman desde que nació en 1984. Su familia ha criado la raza Brahman desde mediados de los años setenta. Su rancho, Las Talas, ha estado compitiendo en el Juzgamiento Nacional de Paraguay desde 1980, y en Julio marcó su trigésimo octavo show consecutivo.

Dear Friends, The Henry Clay Koontz Memorial Trophy has been presented annually to the Brahman breeder with the highest earned points in the Show Ring at the International Show. This bronze sculpture has become a coveted award, as it recognizes the dedication of those Brahman exhibitors who continually promote our breed through this highly competitive process. Now, after over twenty years, we have decided to give this trophy to the American Brahman Breeders Association with deep affection and many memories. It is our hope that you will continue this annual tradition for us. The trophy, which is a bronze sculpture of our herd sire, The HK Millionaire 61/9, is by the famed artist, Sonny Timme. It was created from his sketches and molds made of The HK Millionaire on site in 1985. There were only five replicas of this bronze fired before the mold was destroyed. It is a bronze replica of a National Champion that, in many ways, changed the breed. For our family, the purpose of the trophy was twofold: to honor a man who cared deeply for his Brahman cattle, and to honor those association members who have taken the breed to the forefront by means of the show string. No one is more aware than I am of the time, the expense and the energy it takes to develop a champion! I thank you for the privilege bestowed on me and my family in allowing us to honor a most beloved man with this tribute … as well as honoring those who have followed so closely in his footsteps. Please accept this trophy with our blessings. Most sincerely,

Mary Sue Koontz Nelson

FRIENDS of THE YEAR 2018 Recipients

Ji Ginn & Dr. Ashby Green Jill Ginn and Dr. Ashby Green of Neogen GeneSeek will receive the American Brahman Breeders Association (ABBA) Friend of the Year awards during the Annual Membership Meeting on February 28. Both recipients are field representatives of Neogen GeneSeek, a company that the ABBA added to the list of acceptable DNA-testing facilities to be used by breeders. The transition from exclusively using Zoetis to using two companies was a rocky one with several technology issues, but these two individuals were always there to help breeders and the association along the way. “Both were selected because they have been a huge help to the ABBA staff and our members,” Armelinda Ibarra said. “They have gone above and beyond their call of duty. They are field reps, but throughout the transition, they personally tried to help each and every member who reached out to them. They didn’t have to do that. They genuinely care.” Ginn is Neogen GeneSeek’s Texas field representative, and Dr. Green is the Florida representative. Ginn grew up around the feedyards of Hereford, Texas. As an animal health rep she called on ranches and feedyards. She bought cattle for a national packer, is past president of the American National CattleWomen, past president of Texas CattleWomen and has been involved in many industry committees. She has a BS degree from Texas A&M. Dr. Ashby grew up on a Mississippi crop, timber and livestock farm. He graduated from Mississippi State University with a degree in animal science and from Auburn with a veterinary degree before setting up a mixed-animal practice back home. He was an extension veterinarian at MSU, launched Posilac at Monsanto, led NAIS at the state of Florida veterinarian’s office, and was vice president of producer education for NCBA’s Beef Quality Assurance program. Ashby “retired” to a commercial cow-calf partnership in Florida and established AG-DEO, LLC, an animal-health consultancy. Congratulations to both of them and thanks for their meaningful contributions and support of the association and membership!

Jill Ginn Dr. Ashby Green Jill Ginn y el Dr. Ashby Green de Neogen GeneSeek recibirán el premio a “Amigo del Año” de la Asociación Americana de Criadores Brahman (ABBA) durante la Reunión Anual de Miembros el 28 de febrero. Ambos son representantes de campo de Neogen GeneSeek, una compañía que ABBA agregó a la lista de instalaciones de pruebas de ADN aceptables para ser utilizadas por los criadores. La transición del uso exclusivo de Zoetis al uso de dos compañías fue complicada y con varios problemas tecnológicos, pero estas dos personas siempre estuvieron allí para ayudar a los criadores y a la asociación en el camino. "Ambos fueron seleccionados porque han sido de gran ayuda para el personal de ABBA y nuestros miembros", dijo Armelinda Ibarra. "Han ido mucho más allá de sus responsabilidades laborales. Son representantes de campo, pero a lo largo de la transición, intentaron ayudar a todos y cada uno de los miembros que se comunicaron con ellas personalmente. No tenían que hacer eso. Ellos realmente se preocupan". Jill Ginn es la representante de campo de Texas de la compañía, y el Dr. Green es el representante de Florida. Ginn creció cerca de los campos de Hereford, Texas. Como representante de salud animal, recorrió ranchos y canales de alimentación. Compró ganado para una empacadora nacional, fue ex presidenta de American National Cattle Women, ex presidenta de Texas Cattle Women y ha participado en muchos comités de la industria. Ella tiene una licenciatura BS que obtuvo de la universidad Texas A & M. El Dr. Ashby creció en un cultivo de Mississippi, una granja de madera y ganado. Se graduó de la Universidad Estatal de Mississippi con un título en ciencias animales y de Auburn con un título veterinario antes de establecer una práctica de animales mixtos de vuelta en Mississippi. Fue veterinario de extensión en MSU, lanzó Posilac en Monsanto, dirigió NAIS en la oficina veterinaria del estado de Florida y fue vicepresidente de educación de productores para el programa de Garantía de Calidad de Carne de NCBA. Ashby "se retiró" a una sociedad comercial de vacas y terneros en Florida y estableció AG-DEO, LLC, una consultoría de salud animal. ¡Felicitaciones a ambos y gracias por sus significativas contribuciones y apoyo a la asociación y membresía!

The 2018 ABBA

National F1 Female Sale Dedication

Robbie Hamilton Written by J.D. “Bubba” Sartwelle, Jr. The 31st Annual National F1 Sale and TBA Sponsored Brahman Female Sale will be dedicated to Robbie Hamilton of Wharton, Texas, a long-time enthusiast of the American Brahman Breeders Association’s F1 female program. Beginning in 2007 the sale has been dedicated to individuals who have been instrumental to the long-time success of the ABBA F1 Program and to this annual Sale. This year’s sale will be managed by Milton Charanza’s Broken Triangle Cattle Co. and will be held at the Caldwell Livestock Commission in Caldwell, Texas on Saturday, March 17. The 2018 sale will boast some 500 plus Golden Certified and Certified F1’s to include open, exposed, bred, and pairs and over 200 head of Brahman females suitable for F1 production. The sale will also include a few Brahman, Angus and Hereford bulls, all F1 ingredients as well as F1+ females. Robbie Hamilton and wife Maurene were early participants in the ABBA F1 Program begun in 1979. A recent review of the records of the ABBA F1 Program shows that Robbie has certified just short of 2000 head of F1 females. His H & M Cattle Company has participated in every National F1 Sale as well as the prestigious stock show sales of Fort Worth, San Antonio and Houston. In judging competitions at these sales, H & M females are always the cattle to beat; H & M females have won every judging at major events not just once but many times. Robbie is always quick to say that he has had much help along the way; from meager beginnings, Robbie has come a long way and he recognizes the help of others. Robbie’s dad had a mechanic shop in Wharton when Robbie was growing up. He spent a lot of time in that shop and learned the ways of being a mechanic. Once out of high school he worked for his uncle and among other things began to learn to appreciate

La Trigésimo primera Subasta Nacional Anual de F1 y La Subasta de hembras Brahman patrocinada por la TBA será dedicada a Robbie Hamilton de Wharton, Texas, quien por años ha sido entusiasta del programa de hembras F1 de la Asociación Americana de Criadores Brahman. Desde el 2007 esta subasta ha sido dedicada año con año a personas que han sido de gran ayuda para el éxito del Programa F1 de la ABBA y la subasta anual. La subasta de este año será llevada a cabo por Broken Cattle Co de Milton Charanza y tendrá sede en la Comisión de Ganaderia de Caldwell, Texas el sábado 17 de marzo. La subasta de este año contará con más de 500 certificados de oro y certificados de F1 para incluir ganado abierto, expuesto, criado y pares; y más de 200 cabezas de hembras Brahman preparadas para la producción de F1. La subasta incluirá de igual manera algunos machos Brahman, Angus y Herford, todos los ingredientes para crear F1 así como F1 + hembras. Robbie Hamilton y su esposa Maurene fueron de los primeros participantes en el programa de F1 de la ABBA que comenzó en 1979. Una reciente revisión de los registros de este programa muestra que Robbie ha certificado un aproximado de 2000 cabezas hembras F1. Su empresa H&M Cattle Company ha participado en todas las Subastas Nacionales de F1 así como en las prestigiosas subastas de ganado en Fort Worth, San Antonio y Houston. En juzgamientos realizados en las subastas, indican que las hembras de H&M siempre son excelentes ejemplares para ofertar; las hembras de H&M han ganado cada juzgamiento en los mejores eventos no solo una sino muchas veces.

a cow while baling hay on a small-time basis. He wanted to own cows, so he borrowed $300 and purchased three Hereford heifers as his entry into the business. Robbie’s big break came when Temple Koonce of J. D. Hudgins had an engine on a hay baler that he couldn’t start. He called for Robbie to bale the hay, and he has made all of the Koonce’s hay since. Mr. Temple learned of Robbie’s Hereford heifers and shortly made it possible for Robbie to purchase on credit a JDH bull for F1 use. To this day Robbie is a custom hay man and continues to make large amounts of hay for several long-time customers. In the sixties, Robbie formed a partnership with Ailes Mathis of Wharton, where Mathis supplied the land and Robbie supplied labor and management; thus H & M Cattle Company was formed. H & M Cattle soon purchased 20 Hereford females out of the keeper heifers of Dr. Cyrus Cathy of Hamilton, Texas. Their partnership lasted until Mathis’s death after 22 years. Once again, Robbie felt that the help of others enabled him on his journey. Robbie learned early on that the female in the pasture was his most important asset. He has painstakingly emphasized the females in his mix and has purchased high quality, good-uddered, easy-doing Hereford females from many of the leading Polled Hereford operations in the country. They have come from Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi and Tennessee. He has always used JDH bulls in his program. Robbie has given of himself to the ABBA F1 Program. Several years ago, he served on the ABBA F1 Advisory Group and has been a speaker on nearly every F1 Field Day for the last twenty-five years. He has judged the Denver National’s Car Lot Hereford Bull show and has served as a bull grader numerous times at the San Antonio and Houston Stock Show sales. J. D. Sartwelle Jr., long time sale manager, says, “It is no accident that Robbie is known as Mister F1 to many people. He has raised a high bar for his cattle and for others in the ABBA F1 program. He has helped to strengthen the reputation for F1 cattle everywhere. Robbie Hamilton has worked at becoming one of the best and is a most worthy recipient of this honor.”

otras personas. El papá de Robbie tuvo un taller mecánico en Wharton mientras crecía. El pasó muchísimo tiempo en el taller y adquirió las habilidades para convertirse en mecánico. Cuando terminó la preparatoria trabajó con su tío y entre otras cosas, comenzó a apreciar a una vaca mientras se empacaba el heno en una base de tiempo reducido. Él quería tener vacas, así que prestó $300 dólares y compró tres novillonas Herford para entrar al negocio. El gran salto de Robbie llegó cuando Temple Koonce de J.D. Hudgins tuvo un motor en una empacadora de heno que no pudo arrancar. Llamó a Robbie a empacar el heno, y desde entonces ha hecho el heno de Koonce. El Sr. Temple se enteró de las novillonas Herford de Robbie y pronto hizo posible que Robbie pudiera comprar a crédito un toro JDH para uso de F1. Hasta el día de hoy Robbie es un empacador de heno y continúa trabajando para sus muchos clientes de toda la vida. En los 60s, Robbie realizó un convenio con Ailes Mathis de Warthon, donde Mathis proporcionaría la tierra y Robbie ofrecería la mano de obra y la administración; fue cuando H&M Cattle Company se formó. H&M Cattle pronto adquiriría 20 hembras Herford, crías de la ganadería del Dr. Cyrus Cathy de Hamilton, Texas. La relación de negocios con Mathis duró hasta su muerte 22 años después. Una vez más, Robbie sintió que la ayuda de otras personas enlazaba su camino. Robbie aprendió que desde el principio las hembras en el pasto eran su activo más importante. Ha seleccionado minuciosamente a las hembras de su mezcla y ha comprado hembras Herford de mejor calidad, de buenas ubres y mansas en muchas de las ganaderías de Herford en el país. Éstas han venido de Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi y Tennessee. Él siempre ha utilizado toros JDH en su programa. Robbie se ha entregado completamente al Programa de F1 de la ABBA. Mucho tiempo atrás, sirvió en el consejo de F1 de la ABBA y ha sido conferencista en cada uno de los Días de Campo de F1 en los últimos veinticinco años. Ha sido juez de los juzgamientos Nacionales en Denver para toros Herford y ha servido como calificador de toros numerosas veces en las subastas de ganado de San Antonio y Houston. J.D. Startwelle Jr., organizador de subastas desde hace muchos años, menciona, “No es de la nada que Robbie es conocido como Sr. F1 para muchas personas. Él ha establecido un estándar alto en su ganadería y para otras ganaderías en el programa de F1 de la ABBA. Ha ayudado a fortalecer la reputación del ganado F1 en muchas partes. Robbie Hamilton ha trabajado para convertirse en uno de los mejores y tiene más que merecido el reconocimiento de este honor.”

Maternal Performance Sire Program The Maternal Performance Sire program recognizes the Brahman sires that have produced Maternal Merit Cows. This is a way to recognize the bulls who excel maternally. They are known as maternal sires because their daughters are productive, fertile, have good milk production, etc. There are two levels of excellence associated with the Maternal Performance Sire Award. Bulls who have produced three (3) to five (5) Maternal Merit Cows receive Silver recognition. Bulls who have produced more than six (6) Maternal Merit Cows receive Gold recognition. This year the ABBA is recognizing the following Silver Performance Sires.

(+)SCD DIDOR ESTO 623 produced the most Maternal Merit Cows in this year’s list of Maternal Performance Sires inductees.

The Maternal Merit Cow must maintain an MPPA of 101 or better. The MPPA, or Most Probable Producing Ability, is used to compare cows with a different number of offspring on an equal basis. It would hardly be fair to compare the 205 day weaning ratios of a cow with only two calves to a cow with six calves. The MPPA is calculated by the following formula: MPPA = H + ( C - H ); Where: H = 100, the herd average weaning weight ratio; N = the number of cows included in the cowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s average; R = 4, the repeatability factor for weaning weight ratio; C = average for weaning weight ratio for all calves the cow has produced. There are two levels of excellence for the Maternal Merit Award, thus, rewarding a cow for even higher levels of efficiency in production. A cow meeting all of the previously listed criteria

| THE BRAHMAN JOURNAL

is termed an Elite Maternal Merit Cow. A cow reaching all previously stated criteria, yet weaning four calves (instead of three) and attaining a 105 MPPA (instead of 101) is termed a Supreme Maternal Merit Cow. Calving by the 36th month of age and maintaining the calving interval are the most restrictive requirements of the program. Many breeders have managed programs that do not allow cows to meet this opportunity, particularly if the heifers calve earlier than the rest of the herd and if cows are placed in an embryo transfer program. While the cows achieving this status do not necessarily reflect the best of the breed, they are unquestionably efficient, productive cows and deserve the recognition given them. Recently the ABBA changed the criteria of the Maternal Merit program and also added a new award level of Elite Plus. Visit brahman.org to learn more.

EDUCATION SHOWRING

The Texas A&M Excellence in Beef Cattle Initiative and International Beef Academy

Written By Joe C. Paschal, Livestock Specialist, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, Corpus Christi, Texas

Although most of the US is not tropical or subtropical, parts of Texas, some of the southeastern US, Mexico, Central and South America, Africa, Asia, and Oceania are. Over 70% of the world’s beef and dairy cattle are raised in those environments. Several months ago, the Texas A&M Animal Science Department employed a new Department Head and Professor, Dr. Cliff Lamb. Dr. Lamb was formerly the Assistant Director and Professor at the University of Florida North Florida Research and Education Center in Marianna, FL. His primary extension and research efforts focused on applied reproductive physiology. Dr. Lamb is refocusing our efforts, particularly in beef cattle, especially in cattle with Bos indicus influence in tropical and subtropical areas. With over 30 faculty members in A&M Animal Science engaged in teaching, research, and extension activities involving Bos indicus influence cattle, Dr. Lamb’s new International Area of Excellence for Cattle Adapted to Subtropical/Tropical Environment Initiative will bring closer collaboration within and outside the department, especially with beef producers, both purebred and commercial. As part of this initiative, Dr. Lamb is moving forward to improve the current beef cattle teaching and research facilities,

provide funding for graduate student fellowships, and is seeking three Endowed Professorships in beef cattle production “to recruit, reward and provide resources for building premier beef cattle teaching, research, and Extension programs”. Each of these require outside funding. The facility fund would need $5 million while the graduate student fellowships would require $1.5 million and the endowed professorships $3 million. The facility funds would be used primarily for the A&M beef cattle facility on campus, known as the Beef Center. Improved cattle handling facilities, more classroom and “hands-on” teaching space, and a general renovation are needed after 30 years of regular use. A selection of cattle breeds and crosses more typical of Texas might also be included. In addition to these initiatives, Dr. Lamb is pursuing three additional areas that are novel, I think, for a university or a department. The first of these is offering and funding high impact learning experiences to students. These would include field trips and conferences, both national and international. When I was a student at A&M, even though I was from an agricultural background, these were important experiences for all of us. Now many of our students at A&M are not from agricultural backgrounds; getting them involved visiting ranches,

Brahman cattle thrive anywhere in the world, but do especially well in the subtropical and tropical climates between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.

feedyards, and processing plants, and attending and perhaps presenting at producer conferences and meetings would add greatly to their education and experience. To fund these high impact experiences and cover student travel costs $500,000 is targeted. The second area is the International Beef Academy. The Academy is an educational program that will encourage industry leaders, professionals, and beef producers from around the world to come and learn at Texas A&M. Dr. Reinaldo Cooke, Associate Professor, was recently hired to head up the Academy. Dr. Cooke was formerly an Extension Beef Cattle Specialist and Associate Professor in Oregon. Dr. Cooke is from Brazil and he received his MS and PhD degrees at the University of Florida. His research efforts focus on management strategies to improve productive efficiency in beef cattle, including nutrition, health, growth, and reproductive responses in Bos indicus and B. taurus cattle. The Department has recently hired a second faculty member to assist Dr. Cooke and the Academy, Dr. Kyle Pohler, who will be on board later this year. The Academy is structured around nine core curriculum courses, of which six would be required, for which the student would receive a certificate of completion. The targeted audience would be students who had completed a B.S. in Animal Science, or an equivalent degree, anywhere in the world. All but the last course would be taught solely online, and all courses would be taught in English, so knowledge of the language would be needed by those enrolled. The courses would be conducted by Texas A&M Animal Science faculty and would also include guest lecturers to address specific topics as experts in their field.

The nine topics that have been identified to be taught in this order are: 1.

Global Beef Production

Cattle Welfare and Behavior

Forage Production and Utilization

Nutritional Management and Requirements

Reproductive Physiology and Management

Breeding and Genetics

Immunology and Herd Health Management

Safety of Beef Products

Carcass and Beef Quality

Students would be required to enroll in the first topic, then select a minimum of six of the others, and finally come to the A&M campus in August to attend the TAMU Beef Cattle Short Course and conclude the Academy course work with some â&#x20AC;&#x153;hands onâ&#x20AC;? learning and site visits. Dr. Lamb and Dr. Cooke envision the Academy to be selfsustaining, but the initial set up costs is estimated at $500,000. Students enrolled will pay per course and it is anticipated that the enrollment per course will be capped at 30 per year. If you think you might be interested in enrolling in the Academy, or know someone who might be interested on enrolling, or are interested in supporting the beef cattle initiatives at Texas A&M, contact Dr. Lamb at gclamb@tamu.edu or give him a call at 979-845-1543. I know he will be interested in hearing from you!

Positive Beneﬁts of Pursuing Art

T he Brahman Way! Written By Carl Lambert

For those of you who have visited cattle breeders in the Yucatán peninsula in Mexico, you most likely have landed in a little ranching town called Tizimín. Tizimín is approximately a one and one-half hour drive east from Mérida, Mexico. If you have never visited the area I hope you will visit in November of 2018, as Mérida will be hosting the AMCC National Cebu Show. Mérida is the capital and largest city of the Mexican state of Yucatán as well as the largest city of the Yucatán Peninsula. It is a beautiful city with a tremendous cultural center, amazing restaurants and shops. It really should be on your “must visit” list of places to go. Since Tizimín is the leading producer of beef cattle in the state of Yucatan, it was not hard for my wife Victoria and I to decide to invest in a small ranch in the area. We really enjoy both Mérida and Tizimín and our ranch is on the outskirts of Tizimín next to a small Mayan village called Sucopo. We purchased our ranch in 2015, but had been visiting the area for a year and a half looking at different properties. Over that time period we made many good friends in both Tizimín and Mérida. We have always been welcomed with open arms and the people of the town have been more than helpful. In an effort to “give back” to the community I visited with friends and asked for some suggestions of things we could do to improve the lives of the people living in Sucopo, the village close to our ranch. Everyone had wonderful ideas and we narrowed those ideas down to two projects. A technology project and an art project. The technology project was to install a cell tower in the town’s medical clinic so nurses could contact a larger medical facility to get assistance and advice when treating patients. Since there is little to no cell service in the area we felt that this would help the community. The tower was installed late last year and it has been a big success and has helped in the medical care of the population.

| THE BRAHMAN JOURNAL

The art project was suggested by good friend and artist Tere Magaña. She and her husband, Fernando Duarte Vera, own a restaurant in Tizimín called Chamorros Grill. Tere’s art work is on display in the restaurant and it is really beautiful work. This project could not have been accomplished if it were not for the help of Tere and Fernando. Our idea was to have Tere give the children in the school art lessons. Victoria and I would provide the supplies and the children would create paintings of Brahman cattle. Tere visited with the school and selected ten students from the primary school of David Vivas Romero, located in Sucopo. The artistic effort was for the young students to study ads from several of The Brahman Journal publications and express themselves by creating a painting of their favorite Brahman animal. The students spent four to six hours a week for two months developing their skills and learning different technics while working on their paintings. We bought all the paintings from the students and they were very excited to have learned a new skill and also to have earned money in the process. All the paintings were brought back to the USA and they will be on display at The Brahman Journal booth during Houston. The paintings themselves will be sold and the proceeds will go to the school and the students. The Brahman

Journal will also create note cards with the art on the front of each card and a photo of the artist and their painting on the back of the note cards. All the proceeds of these cards will also go to the school and the artists. This art project was a great way to get the residents of Sucopo involved with our love of Brahman cattle and to give a little back to the community. I hope you will stop by the booth during Houston and see these lovely paintings in person. Visit The Brahman Journal website to purchase note cards and help support these young artists.

SHOPPING

The Western Hat Specialists

Oklahoma City-based Shorty’s Cowboy Hattery has an elaborate temporary showroom each year at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo that looks like an Old West storefront. You may have seen the setup while perusing the vendor booths in the NRG Center near the Brahman exhibitor stalls. Shorty Koger, owner of Shorty's "Caboy" Hattery, has been attending the HLS&R for many years. The hattery makes specialty hats adorned with beads, animal hide and rhinestones, in addition to traditional style hats. Koger has sold hats to customers from as far away as Italy and Japan, and her clientele includes Brahman breeders like Sam and Nan Duplantis, Carl and Victoria Lambert, Micheal Martin and Will Detering. In addition to making custom hats, Shorty’s team is skilled in restoring favorite cowboy hats to like-new condition. Whether your own hat needs to be refurbished or you need to restore a family member’s hat for future generations, rest assured they will make sure your hat is cared for properly and returned to you restored to nearly new condition. Not every hattery can perform a full western hat renovation. At Shorty’s Hattery, the first thing they do is open the hat’s crown and then the crown and brim are measured and documented on the renovation form. The hat is completely disassembled and the hat band, sweatband, lining and edge binding on the brim (if applicable) are removed in preparation for the hat to be placed in a chemical bath which cleanses the hat and restores its original stiffness. A renovation specialist will then take a soft brush to remove any excess spots. After the spots are removed and the hat is cleaned, the hat is put in a specially designed spin dryer and it will be hung to dry. A wood block will be inserted in the crown to give it shape. A wood wedge is then set at a ninety-degree angle where the crown meets the brim. This is one of the “trademarks” of a highquality custom hat. The crown is smoothed and any spots that did not come out in the chemical bath are sanded. The brim is also sanded to remove any remaining spots there and then ironed to reset the stiffness in the brim. Finally, the hat is then reassembled, and the hatband and lining are sewn back into the hat. It is an intricate process where the hat undergoes a deep cleaning, re-blocking, shaping, and if necessary, a new leather sweatband and new liner are added. Shorty’s Caboy Hattery is located in Oklahoma City’s Historic Stockyards district but the team travels to events across the country. They sell a variety of custom hats and high-quality merchandise. Koger is well known in the agricultural and equine community for her amazing custom hats as well as her philanthropic endeavours. She has worked diligently to raise money for the fight against breast cancer, supporting cancer patients currently being treated across the country. To learn more about this specialty hattery, visit the Shorty’s website at shortyshattery. com or visit their booth in person during the International Brahman week in Houston.

PASSAGES

Rest in Peace

Dr. Robert Louis Barlow Jr. Dr. Robert Louis Barlow Jr., 80, of B & P Brahmans in Mathews, Alabama, passed on October 20, 2017, surrounded by his family at his home. Dr. Barlow earned his degree in Veterinary Medicine from Auburn University. He ran a large animal veterinary practice and specialized in beef cattle medicine. He had a passion for cattle and a hard work ethic, which he passed down through his family. Many people simply knew him as, “Doc.” He was an avid Brahman enthusiast. From a very young age, he had set his mind to one day having his own Brahman herd. He purchased his first set of eight Brahman heifers in 1975. He purchased a (+)JDH MR KARU MANSO 800 son early on from Leslie “Bubba” Hudgins and later purchased a (+)JDH MR WOODMAN MANSO son. According to his grandson Matthew Pounds, the JDH Woodman son over JDH Karu son’s daughters made some of their nicest calves. Dr. Barlow and his daughter Kathryn “Kathy” Pounds hauled their show string around the country together. “I will always treasure the memories we made traveling the Southeast showing cattle,” Kathy said. “All three kids in the backseat and me and dad in the front. We showed as a hobby and as long as we placed somewhere in the middle we were happy. We traveled to so many shows. His cattle were his passion.” Dr. Barlow was a regular face at Brahman events across the country. Brahman breeders will remember his kind manner and great sense of humor. “I can picture him sitting at the show box with our Brahman friends,” Kathy said. “Everybody loved talking to Doc.” In addition to showing and raising cattle, Dr. Barlow participated in the association and served on the ABBA Board of Directors. The funeral was held on Tuesday, October 24, 2017 with a burial after at the Palmer Cemetery in Furman, Alabama. At his funeral, his granddaughter Morgan Pounds said, “When you think of him just work a little harder that day.” He was preceded in death by his wife of 59 years, Julie Thompson Barlow; his daughter Mary Penn Lavallee; and his granddaughter, Amanda Elaine Pounds. He is survived by his daughter, Kathy Barlow Pounds; his son; Robert Louis Barlow III (Roseanna); his grandchildren, Matthew Pounds (Whitney), Morgan Pounds, Kaitlyn Barlow, Robert Louis “Bo” Barlow IV; great grandchildren, Will, Lane and Jace. His family has changed the name of the Amanda Pounds Memorial Scholarship, which is given at the AJBA All American National Junior Show, to the Barlow-Pounds Memorial Scholarship. Anyone who would like to make donations to honor their memories should contact the Amerifirst Bank, 8165 Vaughn Road, Montgomery, Alabama 36116.

A Remembrance from Matthew Pounds... Dr. Robert Barlow and “Papa” to many was a man we all could look to for guidance. I cannot even begin to describe how much influence he had on my life, from my passion for Brahman cattle to my moral compass. He is probably the person I spent most of my time with from the time I was 10 until he passed. The reason I spent so much time with him was because of how much I admired him not necessarily for what he had and worked so hard to earn but because of what he believed. He was very confident in what is right and wrong, and many times told me the only rule we needed to live by is the golden rule, “do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” He was not always right and neither are any of us, but his life was a testament to what he believed: “keep your word and commitments”, “if you say you are going to do something you better try your very best to do it”, “be there when you say you are going to be there”, “don’t make excuses, if you are wrong own it and take the consequences with humility”, “be respectful and earn your place”. It was many years of working with him and around him and learning and listening before I had earned the right to have an opinion about how we worked the cattle together, and through those years of listening quietly and learning, I learned the most valuable lessons he could have ever taught me. One of those is if you are going to have an opinion or idea you better believe in it yourself and be able to back it up, but also humbly take the answer, “It’s mine and we are doing it my way” if your opinion is not wanted. This is who my Papa was to me and how I remember him. Papa will be greatly missed, and I will strive to continue his legacy, following the golden rule and raising quality Brahman cattle.

RODOLFO BAZÁN

2018 L.I.F.E. RANCHER OF THE YEAR Rodolfo “Popo” Bazan was named 2018 Laredo International Fair & Exposition (L.I.F.E.) Rancher of the Year. L.I.F.E.’s main mission is to promote the areas of agriculture, horticulture, home economics, and the vocational/industrial trades. The L.I.F.E. organization tries to carry out its mission by working with and for the youth of the community, specifically those involved in the vocational/industrial clubs, and countywide 4-H Clubs and FFA Chapters. Popo is a well-known Brahman breeder and owner of the renowned RB Cattle Company. “My brother and business partner Ruben and I had the opportunity to purchase a ranch in Duval County,” Popo said. “In 1990 we founded RB Ranch’s cattle operation with 20 registered polled Brahman cows we purchased from my dear father-in-law and mentor Mr. Angel R. Laurel, who was a cattleman extraordinaire.” RB Ranch’s program advanced thanks to the innovative technology available of its time, first with artificial insemination and later with embryo transfer using the best donor cows with the top sires of the industry. In 2008 Rodolfo (RB Cattle) started with an intensive vanguard program of In-Vitro Fertilization utilizing reverse sorted sexed semen, permitting RB Cattle to create a top quality female foundation that has allowed Rodolfo to reach his dreams of raising the RB Brand to a highly reputable domestic and international herd of Registered Brahman Cattle. To assure continuance in RB’s progressive Breeding Program, in 2010 Rodolfo cloned his first female, Miss RB

789/5, the 2008 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Reserve Senior Champion and 2008 World Congress Reserve Senior Champion resulting in five genotypically and phenotypically identical heifers. As of today, Popo has more than 12 clones from different top champions and great proven donor cows. RB Genetics are well spread internationally with presence in Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Brazil, Panama, Costa Rica, Bolivia and as far as Australia and the Philippines. For Rodolfo it has been a wonderful experience as he has had the opportunity to travel to numerous countries worldwide creating and nourishing a wide and select friendship with countless Brahman enthusiasts and promoting the breed as well as RB Genetics. For the past 25 years RB has exhibited show cattle in the most prestigious shows in the United States, garnering many grand champion and division titles.

CANDLER CATTLE COMPANY

Although the championships have been numerous and very rewarding Rodolfo’s most gratifying experience was in 2016 when he took his beloved Grandson Andres to his first Junior Brahman show at the All American Junior Brahman Show in West Monroe, LA. Andres was awarded a green ribbon for his sixth-place finish and Popo was more excited than Andres.

CONTEST SHOWRING

2017 ABBA National Carcass Evaluation Program

Information provided by Joe C. Paschal, Livestock Specialist Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, Corpus Christi, Texas

A total of 37 purebred Brahman steers from three ranches were enrolled in the 2016-2017 ABBA Carcass Feed Out Program at Graham Land and Cattle Co. feed yard in Gonzales, Texas. The steers were weighed, processed implanted, vaccinated, dewormed, tagged and placed on feed and were then re-implanted after 82 days on feed, DOF (Date On Feed). The steers were marketed to Kane Beef in Corpus Christi, Texas in two groups based on level of fatness in August and September after an average of 235 DOF. The carcass data was collected by Dr. Joe Paschal, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Livestock Specialist. A one-inch thick slice of steak from the 12th-13th rib interface was collected and aged for 14 days for tenderness evaluation. Dr. Tanner Machado, Associate Professor of Animal Science, Texas A&M UniversityKingsville, aged the steaks and performed the tenderness evaluation. Average on-feed weight of the steers was 604 lbs. and the average sale weight was 1271 lbs. Average daily gain was 2.84 lbs./day. Average dressing percent of the steers was 63.9% and hot carcass weight was 780 lbs. Average ribeye area (REA) was 13.7 square inches. REA per hundred pounds of carcass weight is a more useful

measure of actual muscling than actual REA since REA increases as cattle get heavier. In these steers, REA/CWT was 1.76 sq. in. per cwt (1.8 is considered acceptable). Average fat thickness over the 12th-13th ribs, which is used in the determination of carcass yield grade, was 0.35 inches. Fat has the greatest effect on carcass yield grade and value; every 0.4 inches of fat cover increases yield grade by a full grade. The higher numerical levels are lower in percent lean. Average yield grade was a very desirable 2.4. Average marbling score (MS) was Slight 67, corresponding to a Select+ quality grade. Eighty-three percent of the cattle graded Select or Choice. Average Warner-Bratzler Shear Force (WBSF) was 8.5 pounds, below the 8.8 considered somewhat tough. Average pen temperament score, collected for the first time this past year, was 2.1 (a score of 1 is considered gentle and 5 is wild). The program recognizes the breeders of the top 10 steers with the highest overall ABBA Carcass Index, which is a weighted average of each steerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance ratio for the traits of ADG, REA/CWT, MS, and WBSF; the top sire groups (having at least three progeny) with the highest Carcass Index values, and the top sire groups in each of the four traits.

REGISTRAR SE HACE CADA VEZ MÁS FÁCIL CON EL PROGRAMA CATTLEMAX Los productores de ganado de todo el mundo reconocen el software de gestión de rebaños CattleMax como una herramienta integral para proporcionar una solución de mantenimiento de registros con información organizada, actualizada rápidamente y fácil de analizar para la toma de decisiones. CattleMax está disponible en planes para ganado registrado y comercial, cada uno con varias opciones de tamaño de hato, para ayudar a proporcionar un programa que se adapte a cualquier operación. El plan Ganado Comercial está diseñado para ranchos ganaderos que mantienen registros esenciales como inventarios, tratamientos médicos, historias de partos y movimientos de pastos. También hay áreas de registro para ranchos que rastrean mediciones adicionales como pesos y alturas, proporciones y datos de piel. El plan Ganado Registrado está diseñado para ranchos que mantienen registros detallados con EPD, imágenes, pedigríes e interfaces de asociación de la raza para más de 30 razas. La interfaz de la ABBA en CattleMax permite a los criadores de Brahman realizar lo siguiente:

Primeros Pasos: Importar el inventario de ganado de la ABBA, incluidos animales activos, pesas, EPD y pedigrí de 3 generaciones. Mantenerse Actualizado: importar inventarios de ganados así como datos de rendimiento actualizados, incluidos EPD, pesos ajustados y datos de ultrasonido. Ahorrar Tiempo: Registrar electrónicamente ganado utilizando la plantilla de tablas de la ABBA según la información en su cuenta CattleMax. Con el plan de ganado registrado, los productores también pueden crear páginas imprimibles que incluyan la imagen, el pedigrí, la identificación y los comentarios de un animal. Todas las opciones de CattleMax mantienen registros históricos de producción, que proporcionan una base para el proceso gerencial de toma de decisiones. Los productores pueden utilizar la información de producción que ingresan en el programa con opciones de informes flexibles. Actualizar fácilmente la información clave de su ganadería, incluidos el inventario, crías, partos, médicos, pesajes y registros financieros. Hay muchos informes preestablecidos para elegir y/o los productores pueden crear sus propios informes personalizados para analizar información específica de su operación. Estos informes también pueden ser filtrados y agrupados con ciertos criterios, como un rango de edad, ubicación de pasto, o padre para incluir solo los animales que les interesan. Muchas personas quieren minimizar la cantidad de tiempo que pasan frente a la computadora. Con esto en mente, CattleMax simplificó el proceso de actualización de registros con características diseñadas para ahorrar horas de ingreso de datos. Por ejemplo, la función de Actualización de manada permite a los productores actualizar múltiples registros para grupos de ganado en unos pocos clics. Una versión gratuita, de prueba por 21 días, de CattleMax está disponible para que los productores agreguen sus propios registros de ganado para ver de primera mano sus características, su facilidad de uso y ahorro de tiempo que se han incorporado para mejorar no solo sus registros, sino también el tiempo que dedican a ingresarlos. CattleMax es amigable para dispositivos móviles y web, por lo que se puede acceder a los registros en cualquier momento y en cualquier lugar con cualquier dispositivo con conexión a Internet: iPhones, iPads, Androids, computadoras portátiles y de escritorio PC / Mac, etc. Esto también es útil para ranchos con empleados múltiples o diferentes ubicaciones: los registros son en tiempo real, por lo que los cambios realizados se visualizan de inmediato en otras cuentas. Para obtener más información sobre cómo CattleMax puede beneficiar a su registro de ganado Brahman, visite htttp://www.CattleMax.com/Brahman o comuníquese con el equipo de soporte del ranchero en Estados Unidos al 800-641-2343.

REPRIMAND OF TROY THIBODEAUX AND CIRCLE T CATTLE COMPANY The ABBA instituted an investigation of the willful infraction of show rules by Circle T Cattle Co. and Troy Thibodeaux based on allegations that two heifers (6/6 MS Liberty and 23/6 Lady Dorothy) were shown and exhibited in the 2017 Kickoff Classic with their natural conformation, structure, or appearance surgically altered. Mr. Thibodeaux admits that at least one of the two animals was surgically altered in the course of being treated for a life-threatening infection. Regardless of the reasons for the surgery, Mr. Thibodeaux now understands that presentation of the animal at the Kickoff Classic violated the ABBA Show Rules. Mr. Thibodeaux acknowledges this violation and has accepted the following punishment: • Mr. Thibodeaux, individually, is ineligible to exhibit cattle at an ABBA approved show for five (5) years. Circle T Cattle Co. can continue to exhibit and show cattle without Mr. Thibodeaux’s direct participation. Specifically, Mr. Thibodeaux may be present at shows and exhibits, but

184

| THE BRAHMAN JOURNAL

is not allowed to enter the make-ready area, enter the show ring, exhibit or show an animal himself, accept prizes, or be photographed with animals. Mr. Thibodeaux, individually, is not eligible for any cumulative ABBA award during his suspension. • Mr. Thibodeaux, individually, is ineligible for ABBA membership for three (3) years and, as such, is denied all privileges of the Association in his individual capacity. • Circle T Cattle Co. will retain its membership and shall be permitted to show and exhibit cattle; however, Circle T’s membership shall be placed on probation for a period of three (3) years effective December l, 2017. Any violative conduct by Circle T (or anyone exhibiting an animal on behalf of Circle T) during the probationary period will result in a five (5) year suspension of Circle T’s ABBA membership and a five (5) year show ban for Circle T Cattle Co. Mr. Thibodeaux and Circle T Cattle Co. are committed to fully complying with the ABBA’s Rules, Bylaws, and Constitution in the future.

Congratulations

CRISTINA GUERRA & JUSTIN LaGRANGE On November 25, 2017 Cristina Elena Guerra and Justin Ross LaGrange were married at St. Anne’s Catholic Church in San Manuel. This is the same church in which the bride’s parents, Carlos and Sister, were married. Parents of the groom are Charles and Maggie LaGrange from Edinburg,TX. Serving as Matron of Honor was the bride’s sister, Laura Guerra Ramirez. The groom’s father was the best man. Father Chris Santangelo officiated the marriage. Their outdoor reception was held under the oak trees at La Muneca Ranch. We were blessed with perfect 67 degree weather. Our families thank everyone for your support. The newlyweds honeymooned in Jamaica and the Cayman Islands. Justin is a produce farmer and Cristina owns Tina G, a jewelry and gift shop in McAllen. They now reside in Edinburg, TX.

The Livestock Marketing Association held an auctioneering quarterfinal in Paris, Texas November 8, 2017. Brahman Breeder Philip Gilstrap of Pendleton, South Carolina won Reserve Champion. There were 25 contestants all competing for a shot at the World Livestock Auctioneer Championship to be held in Bloomington, Wisconsin in June 2018. The top ten will continue to the finals. There are three quarterfinal competitions across the USA this year. The top ten from each as well as the International Champion will compete for the coveted title of World Livestock Auctioneer Champion. A panel of five judges judge the contest with the criteria of: would I hire this auctioneer, clarity of chant and voice quality, conduct of the sale, bid catching ability and would this auctioneer be a spokesperson for the industry. Good luck to Gilstrap at the Championship in June!
