BEEF IMPROVEMENT FEDERATION CONFERENCE RECAP

The IBBA Breed Improvement Committee (BIC) had a full day of meetings after the Beef Improvement Federation Conference to discuss not only the topics listed in the article found on pages 40-41, but many more. We will have recommendations to the board as to how we, as an association, will need to address some of these changes as they impact our association and how we incorporate new technologies into our database. I appreciate the opportunity to share this forum in the Brangus Journal. -Dr. Randy Schmidt, BIC chairman

NEW IJRBBA BOARD FORMED

The International Junior Red Brangus Breeders Association (IJRBBA) has been formed to assist the International Red Brangus Breeders Association (IRBBA) with their objectives in advancing the quality and reliability, and value of Brangus cattle for the beef industry while developing and improving scholarship, leadership, and community interest among young cattle people. The IJRBBA will also be assisting state associations with their youth shows and events along with the IJBBA while building life-long friendships.

The IJRBBA board kicked off their inaugural year at the 30th Anniversary IRBBA Annual Meeting and Divas in Red Sale. The IRJBBA hosted a Junior Red Brangus Futurity for both heifers and bulls. The Grand Champion Female was CX Ms Legends Dream 71G exhibited by April Villarreal with Reserve Grand Champion Female going to KTS Ms Dixie 800H exhibited by Truitt Marks. The Grand Champion Bull was Villa’s First Hombre 71G exhibited by April Villareal with Reserve Grand Champion Bull going to GRC George L 101G exhibited by Marcela Garza. During the Texas Junior Brangus

Breeders Association (TJBBA) State Show, the IJRBBA hosted a Meet and Greet Social with ice cream floats to introduce the new association. The IJRBBA would like to thank Villa Ranch for allowing them to use their display to host the event. The IJRBBA board assisted the TJBBA board in the arena for both the state show as well as the Texas Invitational Standard of Excellence Show. The IJRBBA is looking forward to working with the IJBBA and other state associations in the future.

SUPPORTING THE NEXT GENERATION: COME JOIN US!

Each year, members of the International Brangus Auxiliary (IBA) have the awesome opportunity to devote our time and energy to the members of the International Junior Brangus Breeder’s Association (IJBBA). IBA is made up of dedicated individuals whose sole purpose is to assist with furthering the education of our next generation of junior Brangus members through scholarships, and to support them throughout the year at various events.

Each year, qualified IJBBA high school seniors and college undergraduates are awarded scholarships in support of their education. Often times, this money is given in memory of someone affiliated with the Brangus breed who came before them.

During the National Junior Brangus Show you will see members of the IBA supporting the Brangus juniors and their families by sponsoring the IJBBA hospitality room, preparing a pancake breakfast for all attendees, and ending with the presentation of scholarships at the awards banquet. In addition, Brangus promotional items are taken to all Brangus events and sold to raise funds.

Expanding the IBA membership is an ongoing goal for each of us. As a member of IBBA, your input and Brangus experience are invaluable to the IBA organization, but more importantly to our Brangus juniors. Come join us as we celebrate coming out of a very difficult time for our Brangus families and our country, and look forward to the success of 2021. We encourage you to be a part of an organization that supports such a fine group of young people and future leaders!

Anyone interested in joining can contact Janet Greuel, 438 Price Road, Brooks, Georgia 30205.
