| The American Brahman, the first beef breed developed in the United States, has played an important role not only in crossbreeding programs throughout the United States and beyond, but also has become a common thread connecting other American breeds developed in the last century. American Brahman influence in the beef industry is felt world-wide, and cattlemen on every continent seek their genetics. Their development is an unparalleled success story. Today's cattlemen breed Brahmans for all the right reasons. | ||

| Reminders on filling out paperwork
When ordering or releasing A.I. certificates, please include the ABBA registration number of the animal and membership name of person paying for the A.I. certificates. If anyone has any questions and/or concerns regarding the processing of paperwork, we ask that you contact Armelinda or Chris at 713-349-0854. |
||
| Herd Inventory Update Needed
Help yourself and ABBA by cleaning up your herd inventory. Take time to go through your records to pull out registrations on cattle you no longer own or have died. Cancel certificates by sending to ABBA to remove from your herd inventory. This could possibly move you into a lower bracket on the activity fee scale, which could save you money - up to $200. An accurate herd inventory can also be used in filing several government programs when an accurate herd count is needed. |
||
| Reminder to Membership
You can use your credit card to pay for ABBA work. This prevents any hold up in work if you incorrectly figure the amount due. American Express, MasterCard or Visa are accepted. We welcome you to keep one of these major credit cards on file. |
