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.

• Please verify private herd numbers and ABBA numbers on all animals before submitting applications to ABBA.
• F1s:  Be sure to list the original certification number for qualified dams.
• Include Color code for both registered and F1 animals.
• Please list a contact number on the Self-Billing Worksheet….most questions can be answered with a quick phone call.

Nancy Thomas and Carol Robel of the Kansas City office would like to thank all our members for their patience and understanding in getting through the initial period of our computer program transition.  They appreciate your patience.

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.

REGISTRATIONS AND TRANSFERS TO BE PROCESSED BY ABRA

Effective September 1, 2007, the American Breeds Registry Association (ABRA) will be processing all applications for registrations, transfers, duplicates, performance and accounting for ABBA registered cattle and ABBA F1 female certificates.

Phone:  816-595-2442
Fax:       816-842-6931

The headquarters for ABBA will remain in Houston, Texas where the ABBA staff will be housed.  You will continue to be able to visit and contact the ABBA office and staff at the current location of 3003 S. Loop West Suite 520, Houston, Texas.  The only change taking place is that all paperwork will be “outsourced” and processed at the Kansas City, MO address.  The ABRA staff will also handle questions and/or inquiries regarding the paperwork you submit to be processed.

If anyone has any questions or would like to speak to an ABBA staff member, you are welcomed to contact Chris Shivers or Armelinda Ibarra at 713-349-0854.  We will be happy to discuss this in further detail and will continue to work closely with the ABBA membership in keeping you informed to help make this transition as smooth as possible.
