American Brahman Breeders Association to hold conventionThe American Brahman Breeders Association is currently planning its second annual convention to be held Nov. 16 and 17 at Moody Gardens Hotel and Spa in Galveston, Texas. The ABBA Convention is a beef industry-focused event, open to both ABBA members and non-member cattlemen who have an interest in Brahman genetics. It will provide workshops and seminars for all ages and experience levels. The ABBA is excited to announce its convention's highlighted seminar: Ranching for Profit. Dave Pratt, a nationally recognized lecturer with Ranch Management Consultants, will help attendees find ranching breakthroughs to increase profit, improve the health of the land, improve business relationships and increase overall ranching satisfaction. Seminars on effective record keeping, online registry capabilities, challenges facing beef producers, understanding the end product, the ABBA F-1 Program, and adding value to cattle will also accompany the Ranching for Profit workshop. As a bonus, those who attend sessions will receive one general Continuing Education Unit. Particular sessions will also provide participants with CEUs for the Beef Quality Assurance program. For the first time, breakout sessions will be provided for youth. These will feature information on the American Junior Brahman Association, a leadership workshop, as well as an ag advocacy seminar presented by Texas A&M University's Farmer's Fight group. Included in the youth program is an opportunity for juniors to explore Moody Gardens Amusement Park. The American Brahman Breeders Association is the world registry for Brahman cattle, the No. 1 beef breed for efficiency, hybrid vigor and environmental adaptability.
