SEPTEMBER 2018 COVER This month marks the one year anniversary of the devastating Hurricane Harvey. The Red Brahmans featured on the cover are owned by Dinah Weil of HK Cattle and all survived that catastrophic storm! We thought this was an appropriate tribute to the hardiness and tenacity of the Brahman breed.
