REGISTRATIONS AND TRANSFERS Questions

The American Breeds Registry Association (ABRA) processes all applications for registrations, transfers, duplicates, performance and accounting for ABBA registered cattle and ABBA F1 female certificates. The following is their address and contact information:

American Brahman Breeders Association
PO Box 14100
Kansas City, MO  64101-4100
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 in Houston.  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.
