The IBBA FOUNDATION wishes to thank Don Cox and the Genetic Edge Sale consignors for allowing us to participate in this grand event. The Genetic Edge is the premier sale in the Brangus breed drawing together both Red and Black and breeders from all walks of the breed who are in pursuit of excellence. We would like to thank the generous donors who dug deep into the embryos they were going to put in and contributed those embryos to this offering. Look closely at the donor list and help us thank all for their contributions. We are convinced it is the most powerful set of embryos in terms of genetic reach and quality ever offered in one sale. We especially appreciate the efforts of Ideal Video Productions and Doak Lambert not only for what they do in Houston but for their contributions throughout the year in assisting in marketing Brangus cattle. Your Foundation is in pursuit of excellence for the Brangus breed and is focused on gaining the recognition the breed has earned in all phases. From the pasture to the plate, we believe our breed when taken as a whole, is unmatched in satisfying all segments of the industry. From the phenotypic excellence, you will see on display here in Houston to range bulls working across
the country to the replacement females and cows in your pasture, we are convinced our breed has no equal. Your contributions and purchases at this sale will serve dual purposes. First, they will contribute the funds necessary to gather the factual data to fully spotlight the achievements and strides the Brangus breed continues to make. We believe rhetoric is cheap and data speaks volumes. That is what this sale and these embryos are all about. The second purpose of this embryo auction is to provide any breeder who is also striving for excellence an opportunity to claim a set of embryos that represent the power and future of the Brangus breed. Please look carefully at the offering. We feel it represents a tremendous opportunity for progress on many levels. Sincerley,
Brandon Belt Brandon Belt President, International Brangus Foundation
