Parys
HOME OF THE 17TH WORLD BRAHMAN CONGRESS
In South Africa
The 17th Brahman World Congress will be hosted in Parys, in the most northern part of the Free State Province in South Africa from April, 5 - 11 2014. The Brahman Breeders’ Society of South Africa in association with neighboring countries will be the host.
About Parys Parys is a small village-town situated on the banks of the Vaal River and has recently become known as the home of the Vredefort Dome World Heritage site on the outskirts of the town. It is located within the summer rainfall region. Summer temperatures range between 8°C to 30°C average, while winter can become quite cold with temperatures dropping to -2°C to 19°C average. The source of the Vaal River is at Klipkapstel in the Mpumalanga Province. The river then flows westwards to meet the Orange River in the Northern Cape. In the area where it flows past Parys, the river forms the border between the Free State and Gauteng provinces and is about 1,120km in length. The Vaal River is the main source of water for the Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan area and a large part of the Free State for irrigation and industrial purposes. It supports about 12 million consumers in Gauteng and surrounding areas. This life giving back bone of the region also offers a perfect setting for some of the most attractive accommodation facilities on the river banks. With easy access highways from Johannesburg and the OR Tambo airport, Parys has become a preferred weekend destination for visitors from the highly populated urban areas. The river and surrounding countryside is popular with water sports and outdoor adventure enthusiasts. For the not-so-physical visitor, charming coffee shops, good restaurants, stylish interior and quaint antique shops line the main street, giving the town an old-world charm. The long established Pine’s Antiques is the largest and oldest antiques dealer in town. There are also numerous art galleries and upmarket fashion shops that offer local art and designer clothing. Pride of the town is two unique 18 hole Golf Estates which were both developed on islands in the Vaal River. These are the only Golf Estates situated on islands in Africa. One has been designed by the well known Nick Price. The Vredefort Dome with its lunar, mountainous landscape provides the backdrop to interesting sights such as the remains of kraals of indigenous tribes who lived in the area during the late Iron Age. The area is rich in plant and animal life; blesbok, duiker, black wildebeest, red hartebeest, kudu, warthog, jackal, caracal and brown hyena can be seen on a number of game farms. A Cheetah breeding programme in the vicinity is of special interest to visitors.
The Venues Two world class facilities, Khaya iBhubesi and The Afri Dome in Parys will be the venues for the technical conference, international show, sales and entertainment during the World Congress.

The Common Thread to
Editor's note: During the Florida Brahman Association field day held last April at Rocking S Ranch some of the showmen from the past were recognized. Marcus Shackelford wrote this article to share some of the history of one of these great showmen and to show the manner in which so many Brahman breeder's are connected together. We hope you enjoy this story as much as we did.
GREATNESS
by Marcus Shackelford
Leonard Godwin, who was manager of Clyde Keys’ Brahman operation, was one of the showmen recognized at our field day. Clyde Keys owned a cement factory in St. Petersburg, Florida and had started a Brahman operation in the outlying areas of the county. Leonard was managing the L. S. Harris Brahman ranch in the early 1950's when Clyde went to the ranch to purchase cattle. L. S. Harris had the Fryatt bull which was a top bull that was producing good cattle. Clyde asked Leonard if he wanted to work for him and offered to double his salary to $80.00 a week. When L. S. would not meet the offer, Leonard moved to the Keys’ ranch and started his program. Clyde Keys was looking to purchase more cattle and Leonard told him about the herd of Dr. Cary Carlton, a veterinarian and larger commercial breeder in Desoto County. Dr. Carlton had bought 48 cows and a bull from Marshall Johnson in Texas several years before and had done really well with them. Dr. Carlton had given $17,000 for the 48 cows and a bull and paid them off in a couple of years, selling many of the calves out of the country. He sold them for $17,250. This photo was taken of Leonard Godwin with his one-monthold son, Wayne, on July 21, 1955. Leonard was the manager for L.S. Harris, president of the ABBA 1958-1960, and then managed the Clyde Keys' Brahman herd. When I heard Marshall Johnson’s name this really peaked my interest because I remembered Sloan Williams had told me that Howard Parker of V8 Ranch had bought the main part of his herd from Marshall Johnson. It seems that Marshall was a good friend with Dr. William States Jacobs, the pioneer Brahman breeder with all of the AA Cattle and his great herd sire, Tippu The Great, among others. Marshall had an agreement with Dr. Jacob's where he could borrow any of Dr. Jacobs’ yearling bulls to breed in exchange for taking care of the bulls. This was a good arrangement since Dr. Jacobs could see the calves and decide if he wanted to breed the bull himself or sell the bull. Either way, Dr. Jacobs got back a mature fat bull, because Marshall took such good care of them and it gave him access to Dr. Jacobs top breeding.

Marshall Johnson's ABBA Membership Certificate. Marshall's Membership number was Number 50. Mr. Parker’s V8 herd was known for its outstanding females which started with the Marshall Johnson cows. Since Mr. Parker didn’t know that much about cattle when he selected them, he would have the cows separated from the calves. He would then select the 40 fattest calves as the ones he wanted and would then have them matched to their mothers. A unique selection process but is seemed to work, as Sloan Williams later bought the V8 cows and the rest is history! To continue my story about Leonard, he took the Marshall Johnson bred cattle of Dr. Carlton back to the Keys ranch and started their program. The Johnson cattle were big cattle and he bred them to JTG Resoto Manso, Jr. 134, a smooth muscular bull. JTG Resoto Manso was a bull that Keys had purchased from a large vegetable grower in South Florida. Keys had originally gone to Jack Garrett, who was breeding Resoto Manso cattle with great success, to buy a top bull. When he explained what he was looking for Jack told him he should have stayed in Florida, because one of the best calves he ever raised he had recently sold to a man in Florida. Keys went back to Florida, tracked down the bull and bought him. The cross of the Resoto Manso bull on the Marshall Johnson cattle was a “golden one” for Leonard and Clyde. There were three National Champions back to back, Keys’ Resoto Manso, Jr. 605, Big Otto, who was National Champion twice, and his full brother, Keys’ Resoto Manso, Jr. 816 who was also National Champion. When I became interested in researching Marshall Johnson and his cattle for this article, it was more difficult than I thought. Over the years I had relied on Margaret "Common Thread" continued on page 14

ETHIOPIAN DELEGATION VISITS
BRAHMAN SHOW AT THE ALABAMA NATIONALS The second week of October always brings the Alabama National Fair to Montgomery,Alabama held at Garrett Coliseum.
Marshall Johnson cows and calves Watkins, Edgar Hudgins, Jack Garrett, Diana Massey and the Sartwelles for most of my history questions and now most all of them are gone. So I turned to my good friend, Sloan Williams, ABBA President, Hall of Famer, Judge and cattle trader extraordinaire, and he did not let me down. Sloan had leased a pasture from Marshall Johnson for 31 years and was one of his good friends. Sloan described Marshall Johnson as a good hard working cattleman. "Johnson started working at 5:00 a.m. and worked ‘till dark," Sloan explained. "He had a lot of commercial cattle at one time and one of his claims to fame was that they struck several good oil wells on his property and with his business sense he worked out good deals for himself." Johnson produced cattle in the 1940's and 1950's that were used by many Brahman breeders. V8 Ranch crossed the Johnson cattle on a Rex A Manso 1/5 son out on an Emperor daughter, V8 470/6, to produce cattle second-to-none and Keys used the Resoto Manso, Jr. 134 crossed on Johnson females with the same kind of results. Johnson didn’t have any children and chose to give back to the community by giving the community hospitals. At one time he built hospitals in Wharton, Edna and El Campo. Marshall even had a 55,000 acre ranch in Florida that he gave to M.D. Anderson Cancer Hospital. While Marshall Johnson never showed a National Champion bull or cow, he sure helped Clyde J. Keys and V8 Ranch with his breeding to help them produce their future National Champions. Consequently, one can say that Marshall Johnson's cattle were a common thread to greatness in the Brahman breed.

The fair is host to several different breed's livestock shows and events. One of the breed livestock shows that draws a number of spectators is an ABBA sanctioned Brahman point show.
Joe Butt (far right) with the delegation from Ethiopia
Several Brahman breeders from across the southeast participate at this show year after year. The 2013 fair attracted a delegation from Ethiopia to study and view the American Brahman cattle that were on display. The delegation was also visiting the College of Veterinary Medicine at Tuskegee University in Tuskegee, Alabama. Doctor Teshome Yehualaeshet hosted the Minister of Agriculture from Ethiopia. The delegation was particularly interested in and fascinated with the Grand Champion Bull, GS Mr.Sugar Manso 505, a 2200 pound bull exhibited by Valley B Enterprises. They loved the great disposition and were impressed with the thickness and muscle of the bull, especially comparing him to their native Boran Bos Indicus cattle of their homeland. Wayne Davis, director of Livestock for the fair indicated his appreciation for their visit and interest in the Brahman Cattle.

REPORTE DE LA ASAMBLEA 2013 DE LA FEDERACION MUNDIAL BRAHMAN los lindos maletines que repartimos.
Por Diana Saporiti “20 años no es nada” dice el tango y aunque con algunos años de más, Peter Bohman, Presidente de la Asociación de Ganaderos del Litoral y Galápagos periodo 2012-2014, y yo, Diana Saporiti, Coordinadora General de la Asamblea 2013, volvimos a tener éxito, como 20 años atrás, en organizar otra reunión de la Federación Mundial Brahman. Tenemos la satisfacción del deber cumplido por los comentarios hechos sobre el evento por los representantes de 13 países y los ganaderos nacionales. Sin embargo, esta labor no hubiera sido posible sin el apoyo económico de la M.I. Municipalidad de Guayaquil representada por su nuestro Alcalde, Abogado Jaime Nebot Saadi y la Prefectura del Guayas representada por nuestro Prefecto, Licenciado Jimmy Jairala Vallaza . Cabe agradecer a otro grupo de personas que pusieron su empeño para que esta Asamblea sea un verdadero éxito y a quienes estamos profundamente agradecidos por su apoyo incondicional: A Lorens Olsen Pons y su esposa Gardenia quienes prestaron su hacienda “ LA VICTORIA” para realizar el almuerzo de clausura y además de ser el Presidente del comité organizador, Lorens como Alcalde de Bucay, nos hizo una bienvenida sin precedentes en esta ciudad. A Carlos Javier Andrade por los viajes realizados a diferentes países para visitar ferias ganaderas y promocionar nuestro evento y además por dar una parrillada de bienvenida a los visitantes en las instalaciones de la AGLYG en Durán donde el “ guacamole” que ofreció fue muy comentado por la delegación mexicana que lo encontró “ padrísimo”. A Estefano Landucci quien también viajó a diferentes ferias internacionales para promocionar el evento. A mi querido Enrique Baquerizo Luque, gerente de la AGLYG, quien me ayudó muchísimo con sus consejos y nos apoyó en todo lo que fuera necesario para lograr el éxito. Al Staff de la AGLYG que nos ayudaron, cada uno en su especialidad, con una sonrisa y buena voluntad. Gracias al grupo Quirola por sel auspicio de carpetas y un lindo almuerzo en la sede de la AGLYG el día 12 de Octubre durante el juzgamiento de la raza Brahman y a las empresas que nos apoyaron comprando stands donde exhibieron sus productos en el foyer del salón Isabela y por supuesto, a Gustavo Toro de Sexing Techologies que nos auspicio un conferencista y
No puedo dejar de mencionar a las estudiantes de veterinaria y zootecnia de la Universidad Católica de Guayaquil que durante 15 días estuvieron asistiéndome, sin horario, en todo lo que fuera necesario y que además cargaron cajas, subieron bajaron como hormiguitas laboriosas y creo que hasta algunos días, ayunaron pues no había tiempo para comer. Tampoco puedo olvidar a mis dos asistentes estrellas: Maira Tigrero y Verónica Sánchez que estuvieron allí en todo momento para no dejarme cometer ningún error y vigilando cual halcones, que todo saliera bien. Un evento de ésta naturaleza, implica el trabajo de grandes profesionales que, aunque son personas que pertenecen a empresas, con su labor hacen que cualquier suceso salga bien y por eso menciono a: Zully Moreno y Paulina Sacoto del HOTEL HILTON COLON, a Carmen Elena Fuentes de Torres de BANATIER S.A. que organizo el almuerzo de clausura en Bucay y a Anita Saltos de ECUADOR EXPEDITIONS que organizo los tours y el transporte para nuestras idas y venidas. Ecuador Expeditions nos fue enviado por el departamento de turismo de la Prefectura del Guayas por medio de su directora, Olga Guerra. En fin, si sigo agradeciendo a todos quienes ayudaron, la lista se haría interminable pero un “GRACIAS” con mayúscula no está demás a todos los que han quedado anónimos y que contribuyeron. Logramos que vengan delegaciones de 13 países: Argentina, Brasil, Bostwana, Costa Rica, Colombia, Estados Unidos, Filipinas, México, Nicaragua, Panamá, Perú, Sudáfrica y Venezuela. El 8 de Octubre empezaron a llegar las delegaciones, pero no fue hasta el 9 de Octubre que, ya instaladas en el hotel, comenzamos a recibir a todos quienes estaban listos para inscribirse y dejarnos saber que ya estaban en Guayaquil. Volví a saludar a los que había conocido en Houston cuando estuvimos en el Live Stock & Rodeo y a otros a conocerlos aunque, después de casi año y medio de escribirles via email, me parecía que ya los conocía de toda la vida. A las 16H30 nos embarcamos en un bus que nos llevaría a la sede de la AGLYG en Durán para asistir a la parrillada que nos daba Carlos Javier Andrade que para esta ocasión, había sacrificado una de las vacas del Rancho CJA. Ni que decir que fue muy amena la reunión y la comida estuvo

a la altura de ganaderos conocedores de lo que es buena carne. La cena transcurrió en un ambiente cordial y lleno de expectativas de lo que serían los próximos días. Y…no nos olvidemos del “guacamole” que estuvo “padrísimo”.
Las Peñas, Malecón 2000, La Rotonda, El Reloj Morisco, El Municipio, El Palacio de Cristal, La Catedral, El Parque Seminario. En su recorrido, hubo comentarios de lo linda que es la ciudad y lo limpia que estaba.
El jueves 10 de Octubre comenzó la Asamblea de la Federación Mundial Brahman a las 9H30 en el Salón Floreana del Hotel Hilton con la asistencia de las delegaciones de los países arriba mencionados. Armelinda Ibarra, Secretaria de Actas de la ABBA (American Brahman Breeders Association) comentó, llena de asombro, que esta era la primera vez en la historia que una Asamblea de la WBF ( Federación Mundial Brahman) haya tenido tantos países y delegados presentes. Llewellyn Labuschagne de Sudáfrica y Presidente de la Federación Mundial de la Raza Brahman, estuvo de acuerdo así como, el resto de los asistentes. Obvio que Peter y yo nos miramos y supimos que habíamos puesto a Ecuador en el mapa de los países respetados por esta organización.
Más tarde, llevamos a los delegados al Parque Histórico, dónde nos encontramos con los acompañantes para hacer un recorrido por el mismo en su parte histórica y se deleitaron con la casa de caña y haciendas, así como, con los edificios antiguos de nuestra ciudad. Posteriormente, degustaron un almuerzo en Plaza Lagos (que llamó profundamente la atención por la belleza arquitectónica) y como a las 15h00 regresamos al hotel para alistarnos para la Inauguración Oficial.
Durante esta reunión, se trataron diferentes tópicos sobre la Federación y sobre la Raza Brahman: •

En el Salón Isabela del Hotel Hilton, nos esperaba una mesa adornada con un manto de flores tropicales, 15 banderas atrás de las sillas, una de las cuales era de Guayaquil, y un pódium que esperaba los discursos correspondientes. Los delegados fueron sentándose uno a uno delante de su bandera. La del Ecuador le tocó al Prefecto del Guayas, Lic. Jimmy Jairala, la de Guayaquil y representando al Alcalde Abgdo. Jaime Nebot, a Doménica Tabacchi, Vice-Alcaldesa. La mesa estuvo presidida por Peter Bohman y Llewellyn Labuschagne. Los países fueron ubicados en órden alfabético. La conductora de la ceremonia, Carolina Jaume, anunció el Himno Nacional que todos coreamos con profundo respeto. Acto seguido, Lorens Olsen Pons en su calidad de Vicepresidente de la AGLYG y Presidente del Comité Organizador de la Asamblea de la Federación Mundial Brahman, dirigió un emotivo discurso al público asistente en el cual exaltó y agradeció la ayuda recibida por parte del Alcalde Abgdo. Jaime Nebot Saadi y el Prefecto Lic. Jimmy Jairala, hizo entrega de un trofeo al Sr. Peter Bohman por su labor incondicional hacia la crianza de la Raza Brahman. Se coronó a la Reina de la Asamblea Mundial Brahman y AGLYG, Srta. María Paula Cucalón. Hizo entrega de la corona y bandas respectivas la Srta. Isabel Dueñas Borbor, Reina saliente. Se entregó pergaminos a la Sra. Armelinda Ibarra, Secretaria Ejecutiva de ABBA, Sr. Bob Hudgins, Past President ABBA, Sr. Chris Shivers, Secretario Ejecutivo de la Federación Mundial Brahman e Ing. Pedro Vallarino, Presidente del Congreso Mundial Brahman Panamá 2012. Me sorprendió recibir un pergamino por mi aporte como coordinadora general de la asamblea y más me sorprendió que me lo entregara Lic. Jimmy Jairala.
La parte más emotiva de la ceremonia, fue la entrega de un pergamino a la Sra. María Eugenia (Mami) Blankenship León de México, por parte de Peter Bohman para honrarla como patrona de la raza Brahman en Iberoamérica.
Por último, se hizo entrega de un pergamino al Sr. Peter Bohman Descalzi, por su gran labor desempeñada como Presidente de la Institución en su lucha cotidiana por conseguir mejores días para el sector pecuario del país.
Como muestra tangible de los agradecimientos por sus valiosos aportes para poder llevar a cabo este evento mundial, se entregó pergaminos para nombrarlos Amigos del Año de la Federación Mundial de la Raza Brahman a los señores Ab. Jaime Nebot Saadi, Alcalde de Guayaquil y al Lic. Jimmy Jairala Vallaza , Prefecto de la provincia del Guayas. Hizo la entrega Llewellyn Labuschagne, Presidente de la Federación Mundial de la Raza Brahman.
Para cerrar con broche de oro, Domenica Tabacchi, Vice Alcaldesa de Guayaquil y en representación del Alcalde de la ciudad, Ab. Jaime Nebot, dirigió un discurso a los presentes para agradecer, felicitar y poner Guayaquil a las órdenes de los visitantes extranjeros.
El Sr. Llewellyn Labuschagne dirigió unas palabras de agradecimiento al pueblo ecuatoriano y después habló el Lic. Jairala quien exaltó el evento y la labor de la Asociación de Ganaderos del Litoral y Galápagos en su programa equino entre otras cosas. Se presentó un video Institucional que recordó tantos años de la AGLYG. El presidente de la AGLYG, Sr. Peter Bohman dirigió unas palabras al público presente con alusión a algunos de los premiados bromeando sobre alguno de los presentes y el público recibió su discurso con muchos aplausos y sonrisas. También se entregaron pergaminos a: Enrique Baquerizo Luque, por su aporte al éxito de la Expo Feria 2013, Leonel Plaza “mejor vaquero”, al Ing. Tony Zambrano por su labor en el programa “Incluyete”, a los señores Andrés Fernández Salvador, Dr. Luis Fernando Gomez Lince y post morten al Ing. León Febres Cordero Rivadeneira por haber sido sobresalientes criadores de la raza Brahman de antaño. El Vice-Presidente del Comité Organizador de la Asamblea, el Sr. Carlos Javier Andrade recibió un pergamino como el Mejor Ganadero 2013 y el Sr. Paul Olsen Pons otro nombrándolo como nuevo Presidente vitalicio de honor de la AGLYG. Así transcurrió la inauguración no sin antes hacer entrega de un pergamino al Dr. Esteban Quirola Figueroa dedicándole la 68ª Expoferia ganadera de Guayaquil en Durán. Post morten se entregó a su hija, Carmen Julia Descalzi de Hidalgo, un pergamino al Sr. Atilio Descalzi Mendoza mencionando la elaboración de su busto para ubicarlo en el edificio de la sede institucional. Los 70 años de vida institucional de la AGLYG le fueron dedicados post morten al Ab. Jaime Nebot Velasco.
Después de tomarnos foto tras foto y foto pasamos al coctel de bienvenida para socializar con los visitantes y pasar un rato ameno. Con el Dr. Eduardo Alava como moderador, el 11 de Octubre se dio inicio a las Conferencias con oradores invitados por el Comité Organizador que vinieron a nuestro país para compartir sus conocimientos sobre la raza Brahman. El interés suscitado para estas conferencias, sobrepasó nuestras expectativas. Estos fueron los temas y los conferencistas: Rodrigo Lasso Donoso de Ecuador: La llegada del ganado al Nuevo Mundo y su influencia en la formación de los países Americanos. Dr. Joe Paschal de USA: La Raza Brahman, el denominador común de las razas cruzadas Dr. Alfredo Haynes de Argentina: El rol del ganado Brahman en la ganadería Argentina. Dr. Emilio Zilli De Bernardi de Mexico: El Cebú Brahman Mexicano, origen, situación actual y prospectiva ante el norte y el sur. Llewellyn Labuschagne de Sudáfrica: 60 años en Sudáfrica – la notable raza Brahman. Dr. Fabio Jaramillo de Colombia: Selección práctica de ganado Brahman para concursos.

Dr. Jose Felix Avellaneda de Venezuela: Sistemas de producción intensivo de lácteos en pasto para diversificación de hatos de carne. Dr. Paul Loayza de Ecuador: Manejo reproductivo eficiente en ganadería de carne. Durante las jornadas de conferencias, algunas señoras de los delegados aprovecharon para ir de compras al mercado artesanal y a otros malls. Otros se fueron a un paseo por el Rio Guayas. En la noche ABBA ofreció una cena en honor de los ganaderos Brahman y nos presentaron a la delegación de los Estados Unidos uno por uno. Posteriormente entregaron un diploma a Peter Bohman y otro a Diana Saporiti. El 12 de Octubre, estaba el grupo de ganaderos extranjeros listos a las 8H30 en la

puerta del hotel para acudir a la Expo Feria de Durán. Durante todo el día se procedió al Juzgamiento de la Raza Brahman. En la mañana se juzgo a las hembras y en la tarde a los machos. Resultaron ganadores: 165 Ejemplares en Competencia de 19 Expositores GRAN CAMPEONA; #717-11 CE MISS ALICIA 717-11; HDA. DON MANUEL (Ing. Carlos Encalada) GRAN CAMPEONA RESERVADA; #6263 LO MISS LAURA 6263; HDA. VICTORIA (Sr. Lorens Olsen) GRAN CAMPEÓN; #122-11 MR CJA 122-11; RANCHO CJA (Ing. Carlos Andrade Ruzzo) GRAN CAMPEÓN RESERVADO; # 2-12 MR 2-12; RANCHO CJA (Ing.Carlos Andrade Ruzzo) Al medio día el Grupo Quirola ofreció, con invitaciones personales, un almuerzo privado para las delegaciones extranjeras que estuvo amenizado por el cantante Alex del Rio y el Disc Jockey Jimmy Plaza. El domingo 13 de Octubre nos encontramos todos a las 6H30 en el restaurante del hotel para tomar un desayuno bien grande pues a las 8H30 nos íbamos a embarcar en el “tren de la dulzura” que nos llevaría hacia Bucay. Grande era emoción de muchos pues algunos, nunca habían viajado en tren. A las 7H30 estábamos ya casi todos subidos al bus mientras Anita Saltos llamaba a todos para que no se nos quede nadie pues se había decidido que nos embarcáramos en el tren en la estación de Yaguachi. Y hacia allá salió el primer bus, seguido del segundo. Un tercero se quedé esperando a los rezagados. Llegamos a Yaguachi y nos dedicamos a tomar fotos, solos, en grupo, en pareja etc. mientras hacíamos tiempo para que el tren llegara ya que este sale de la estación de Durán. Otros, volvían a desayunar cositas ricas que vendían en la estación. Las llamadas del tercer bus no se hicieron esperar, pidiendo que no nos fuéramos sin ellos. Aquí comenzó la angustia pues a lo lejos ya oímos el pito del tren y los comentarios: ¡ya viene el tren, ya viene el tren! o “the train is coming, did you hear the train?”. Victoria Lambert de la revista BRAHMAN JOURNAL creo que se acabó algunos disquitos de la cámara tomando fotos. Finalmente, en la curva se vio la locomotora que venía pitando y al mismo instante el tercer bus que se parqueaba. Allí venía la Ab. Reina Cedeño del departamento de turismo del Municipio y yo no quería que se quedara. En fin todos subimos al tren felices y contentos de este paseo novedoso. Ya sentados en sillones cómodos con mesas en la mitad, la Srta. Encargada del vagón en que estábamos un

grupo, nos repartía una rica ensalada de frutas para el trayecto y con otro pito del tren salimos de la estación. Y comenzó el trac, trac, trac de los rieles y a pasar los campos de arroz, cacao, Milagro ( donde la gente nos saludaba y nosotros respondíamos) y así fuimos admirando los cultivos hasta que comenzamos a sentir el cambio de clima y de paisaje: estábamos llegando a Bucay. El tren disminuye la velocidad y cerquita vimos la estación que es hermosa. Había tanta gente en la calle y en la estación que pensamos que era una fiesta o algo así. Para sorpresa de todos nosotros, la fiesta era en honor nuestro y es así que nos reciben con una banda de pueblo donde redoblaban los tambores, el trombón y los platillos. Nos bajamos de los tres vagones para dirigirnos a los buses que nos llevarían a la hacienda “LA VICTORIA” pero había más comité de bienvenida y un grupo folclórico nos cortó el paso con sus bailes y amores finos y por último nos sacaron a bailar a casi todos. Fue un momento muy feliz y muy acogedor para todos quienes habíamos realizado la travesía. Este recibimiento se lo debemos a Lorens Olsen, Alcalde de Bucay y sus colaboradores. Una vez en la hacienda, nos recibió en la puerta Lorens junto a su esposa Gardenia de Olsen y sus hijos, que nos hicieron sentir como en casa y nos dieron unas chalinas muy bonitas para conmemorar ese día. Durante el almuerzo y después de un discurso de bienvenida, pudimos escuchar a Schubert Ganchozo, ver los caballos de paso peruanos, el grupo folclórico Candilejas mientras degustábamos una riquísima parrillada. Carlos Javier Andrade entregó a los representantes de los países que asistieron a este evento mundial, unos recuerdos para conmemorar estos días que compartimos como una gran familia. Al finalizar el almuerzo y siendo hora de irnos de regreso a la ciudad de Guayaquil, pedí el micrófono para dar las gracias nuevamente al Sr. Alcalde de Guayaquil, Ab. Jaime Nebot Saadi y al Sr. Prefecto del Guayas, Lic. Jimmy Jairala pues gracias a ellos, pudimos tener la Asamblea de la Federación Mundial Brahman 2013. Ya de vuelta en el hotel, vinieron las despedidas, las gracias, los abrazos, una que otra lágrima y la gran pregunta: ¿volveremos a vernos algún día? Yo creo que sí, porque muchos irán a Sudáfrica en Abril de 2014. No me cabe más que dar nuevamente las gracias y sobre todo a Peter Bohman por haber confiado en mí para ser la coordinadora general de este evento que culminó con gran éxito. Muchas gracias,

Nutritional Programs for the Cow Herd
Creating a Nutritional Plan
Dr. Stephen Blezinger
Editor’s note: This is part two of a two-part series. Part one was in the Oct. issue of The Brahman Journal.
With the previous discussion in last month's magazine in mind, several steps need to be taken to develop a complete nutritional management plan. Here are a number of the steps that are needed to put this in place: 1) Forage sampling and analysis will need to become a constant part of your program. Begin sampling pastures and harvested forages on a regular basis. These analyses will go into the development of a forage nutrient database for your operation. Maintain these numbers over time so that you can develop and track average nutrient values for specific forages during specific periods of time. For instance, nutrient values for hay cut and baled in June of each year. Each cutting should be sampled and tested. The analysis should be recorded along with the conditions, such as fertilization records, moisture conditions, maturity estimate, etc. The more of this data you can collect the better you can understand and even predict performance. 2) Develop a relationship with a good forage lab. Get several recommendations if possible of a lab that is consistent with a short turn-around time. Talk to the lab about your sampling intentions and you may be able to negotiate a lower fee per sample. 3) Develop a relationship with a qualified nutritionist. This person may be at a local or national feed company or maybe an independent. They can be of assistance in developing and tracking much of the information discussed here. 4) Develop a nutrient delivery and requirement calendar. This can be done fairly quickly and easily using a spreadsheet on the computer but this is not a prerequisite. It can be done just as effectively on paper. The main thing here is to put it in writing somewhere so it can be tracked and used to plan. You can use this to schedule what the nutrient availabilities will be at and over given periods of time. Be sure to include all nutrients. Even a shortage of one nutrient can affect overall performance. Do not expect this to be completely accurate from the very beginning. This will be a work in progress. It will give you a way to anticipate what you will need to do, such as which supplements to purchase, etc., as you look forward. Against the nutrient supply from your forages you then plot the nutrient needs for different groups of cattle. By subtracting the supply of each nutrient against the requirements you can develop a good estimate of what level of supplementation you will need at any given point in time. From this you can begin evaluating supplement forms and determine what will best fill the gap. Since you are planning in advance it give you an opportunity to evaluate and price a range of forms, such as liquids, tubs, dry feeds, and commodities. Your nutritionist can help you project animal requirements as well as determine the form and cost of feed and supplement that best fits your operation. This can also provide the opportunity to forward contract these inputs so you can lock in all or part of this cost and better manage the risk. 5) Create a similar planning calendar for each production group. Once each group is planned for an overall feed/supplement purchasing plan can be collated. 6) Update your calendar continuously and remember that things are not set in stone. You may have projected that your average crude protein level of your forage base is 8% but the forage analysis shows it is actually 7.5%. Additionally, the temperatures may be somewhat colder than average meaning. This means nutrient requirements, especially energy, will be somewhat higher than average. Subsequently supplementation levels or nutrient values may need to be adjusted upward somewhat. 7) Consistently evaluate cow body condition to make sure your plan is working. Are cows under or over conditioned? The visual evaluation is an important indicator of plan accuracy and effectiveness. In conclusion, every business has to plan for its expenses. It has to determine how it will best utilize its resources. A cow-calf operation is no different. In fact this type of planning and may be even more important since there are so many variables on the farm/ranch. A written nutritional plan and calendar will improve the producer’s ability to plan and project nutrient supplies and demands and make the best use of critical resources.

Hey Y’all - My name is Kelli Lucas. I am the 17-year old daughter of Reggie and Carmie Lucas, and we reside in the small community of Deville, Louisiana. I have one brother and sister, Heath and Lesley. I am honored to be serving as the 2013-2014 AJBA Secretary and LJBA President. Currently, I am a senior at Buckeye High School, where I am actively involved in 4-H, Sr. Beta, FCCLA, Science Club, and Spanish Club. After graduation in May, I plan to attend Louisiana Tech University where I will major in Kinesiology, and then pursue my degree to become a Doctor of Physical Therapy. I am proud to say that I have been raised around cattle my entire life. My family and I maintain a small herd of Beefmaster and Brahman cattle. Through the AJBA and LJBA, I have learned many life lessons, and established many lifelong friendships. I hope to see everyone at the upcoming junior and open shows. Good luck to all exhibitors, and remember that success only comes with hard work!
Kelli L ucas
Hello, my name is Jesse DeJournett; I am the new director from the great state of Arkansas on your AJBA board. I started showing in 2005, at the age of eight. My first show heifer was a Brahman influenced commercial heifer. My older sister Molly had also been showing commercial heifers for a couple of years. Since we were serious about showing, my parents decided that we would invest in registered Brahman cattle that we could enjoy as well as show; the rest is history. I’ve been showing Brahmans since 2006. I was not as aggressive in the show ring as my sister at first, but I sure enjoyed the Brahmans and their personalities. After my sister became too old to show, I realized I did have a passion for it, and that I didn’t want to see my show career pass me by. She definitely inspired me the most to show. Brahman influenced cattle have been in my family for several decades. Currently, I help my brother produce rodeos for our 3D rodeo company, which was started by my dad, older brother, and grandpa. My brother rode bulls and after suffering a career ending injury, they started loading up the practice pen bulls that they had and hauled them across the rodeo circuit. Brahmans have always had a heavy influence in the sport of rodeo because, as we all know, they can have a bit of a temper sometimes. Brahman cattle aren’t my only passion; I’m also an avid football fan. I started playing in fourth grade and, now as a junior, I’m the starting left offensive tackle for my high school team. I’m also very involved in my local FFA and 4H chapters, where I hold the position of Pocahontas FFA Chapter Vice-President. Of course, being from Arkansas, I’m also a Razorback fan. The University of Arkansas is where I plan to attend college and hopefully play football. I was always told to get more involved in whatever I was doing, which is why I wanted to become the director for the state of Arkansas. I encourage everyone to get involved when and where you can, especially in our great youth organization. As I learned with the loss of a teammate this past summer, life is shorter than you think, and you don’t know how many opportunities you will get to do something special. I look forward to meeting all of you, and I’m always excited to discuss Brahman cattle or football, especially with fans of rival teams.

Texas Brahman Association Field Day The Texas Brahman Association Field day was held October 5th at the Grimes County Fairgrounds. The host of the event, Jim-Bob Trant of JT Brahmans had an interesting line up of speakers for the event. The purpose of the field day was to grow awareness of the performance programs offered by the ABBA and their importance. Donnie Robertson of Robertson Livestock demonstrated the carcass ultrasound on a January 2013 bull. The bull JTB Franklin K 341-1150/2 had been donated by Trant for the ultrasound demonstration and had excellent ultrasound data results. Chris Shivers, Executive Vice President of the ABBA was on hand to discuss the importance of data collection as well as how to enroll in the ABBA's National Carcass Evaluation Program. Texas Senator Tommy Williams gave a brief state government update.
Jim-Bob Trant was the field day host
Dr. Lourens Havenga, CEO of Multimin gave a presentation on their product, MultiMin 90. MultiMin 90 provides zinc, manganese, copper and selenium in a readily available injectable. These trace minerals play a critical role in reproduction and immunity. Sponsors for the event were Pfizer-Zoetis, Coufal-Prater Equipment, Multimin and Producer's Cooperative Association. During the field day an award was presented to Stamford, Texas native Charles W. Stenholm, the 26 year former U.S. Congressman, who was recently named as the Texas Brahman Association’s 2013 Beef Booster of the Year. Since 1962, the Texas Brahman Association has recognized a deserving person or entity for outstanding contributions to the beef industry and counts a distinguished list of industry leaders, doers and thinkers among its recipients.

“Charlie Stenholm is a most deserving recipient of this year’s award for outstanding leadership and service to the agriculture industries through his many years as a member of Congress and the House Agriculture Committee," said TBA President, Tommy Stadler of Floresville. "His work since 2004 as a Senior Policy Advisor at OFW Law Firm in Washington D.C. has placed him squarely in the middle of every major agriculture issue to come before Congress. He comes from the country and he knows country folk; he has served all agriculture producers well and has done it for many years.” Stenholm graduated from Tarleton State University with a Bachelor of Science degree and received his Master Degree in 1962 from Texas Tech University. Charlie Stenholm was first elected to the House of Representatives in 1978. He is considered by many to be among the most respected and effective Ag Policy advisor in our nation’s capitol and spends considerable time on energy, food safety, water and other issues. He currently serves as Co-Chair for the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget and on the Boards of Directors of the Concord Coalition and the Business and Industry Political Action Committee.

TBA Field Day was a family friendly event with the Trant family
J. D. Sartwelle, Jr., a past TBA President and current Vice-President of the ABBA made the presentation of the award. “This recognition of Charlie Stenholm’s considerable contributions to Texas and U.S. agriculture are a tribute to what he has done every day for many years for production agriculture," expressed Sartwelle. "This TBA Beef Booster of the Year Award is recognition by an agriculture producer group that receives the benefits of his work. Charlie Stenholm has truly lived a life of service to his fellow man.” If you missed this years event make plans for the 2014 Texas Brahman Association Field day, as Jim-Bob Trant of JT Brahmans will host the TBA field day again next year.

"Parys" continued from page 10 Left - Vredefort Dome World Heritage site outside Parys – view from Steenkampsberg, the highest point. Below - Suspension bridge over the Vaal River.
Boer War in 1889 brought a period of destruction as the town saw much of the guerrilla warfare because the surrounding hills and woody river islands provided an ideal place for snipers. There is a story that General Christian De Wet, in order to escape the British, took refuge in the maternity hospital that was at the corner of Breë and Venus Streets – the building that today is known as The Coach House, a well established guest house. Parys was burnt down between October and November 1900 and only the Dutch Reformed Church and the Methodist Church were left standing. By April 1901 the women and children had been transported to the Vredefort Road concentration camp near Koppies. They were released after May 31, 1902. At the end of the war a fresh start had to be made.
Khaya iBhubesi offers secure and exclusive accommodation, each room with its own distinctive appearance and ambience, providing ultimate luxury through simplicity.
The Afri Dome Indoor Arena This spectacular indoor arena will host all animal related congress activities as well as informal day and evening functions during the World Congress. The arena hosts up to 3,000 people, 500 stables under roof with én suite tack rooms, indoor and outdoor rings as well as stable yards & loading ramps. Other facilities available include airconditioned arena boxes (suites) for private use on the first floor, a restaurant, bar and a boma braai area. A shuttle service to and from the Afri Dome will be available to congress attendees for the duration of the Congress.
History of Parys Parys was established in 1876 on the farm ‘Klipspruit’ to cater for the needs of farming communities who had to travel a long way to participate in religious services. The establishment of a local congregation was highly desired by the Dutch Reformed Church. Discussions about the establishment of a town were held with the owners of two farms in the area, ‘Klipspruit’ and ‘Vischgat’; and subsequently two towns developed: Vredefort on Vischgat and Parys on ‘Klipspruit’. The name “Parys” was evidently suggested by a German land surveyor who had served in the Franco-Prussian war and who likened the Vaal River to the Seine. It was hoped that the town would develop on both sides of the river. The fact that the two banks of the river were in different provinces seems to have been overlooked! The first Village Management Board was appointed in 1883. When gold was discovered on the Witwatersrand, Parys prospered as many travellers passed through on the main road from Bloemfontein and Kroonstad. However, the outbreak of the Anglo-
Many irrigation canals, which are still in use today, were built and the abundance of water meant that electricity could be generated as well. The first electric lights glowed in Parys around Christmas 1912. Work on the first reinforced concrete bridge over the Vaal started in 1914 but the outbreak of the First World War caused delays. However, the bridge was completed in December 1915. Unfortunately, not many of the old buildings remain today. The current Parys Palm Court Motel is one of the survivors, as are the museum and a few houses in town. The town hall was built in the 1930s in Art Deco style. The Mimosa Gardens which for a long time was the main holiday resort for visitors consists of 12 erven originally sold for about 5 pounds each. An old suspension bridge that was constructed in 1919 is still in use today and has become a land mark in Parys.
Vredefort Dome World Heritage Site This geological phenomenon was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO on July 14, 2005 and is recognized worldwide as the largest and the oldest meteorite impact site on earth. The lunar landscape of this site in the Vredefort/Parys District was caused when a giant meteorite of approximately 10km in diameter and a weight of 750,000 million tons (larger than Table Mountain) struck the earth at a speed of 20,000 kilometres per second and sank to a depth of 17 kilometres. On impact it released an amount of energy equivalent to the simultaneous detonation of more than 780,000,000 hydrogen bombs. This impact occurred 2,000 million years ago. Immediately after the impact crustal material was accelerated outwards and a series of concentric folds was formed around the centre of the impact area, much like the rings that form and spread outwards when a stone is thrown into a pond. During the ensuing 2,000 million years erosion has removed a great deal of the upper geological strata to the extent that what we see today are the remnants of this historical impact at a level coinciding approximately with the bottom of the crater. From the highest point of the Steenkampsberg visitors can experience breathtaking views of the Vredefort Dome and the Vaal River from where the series of concentric folds and deep ravines of the Dome are clearly visible. The area extends for a distance of about 64km along the southern bank of the Vaal River and inland for between 5 and 9km. The site has always been and remains an important study field for geologist from all over the world. For information on the 2014 World Brahman Congress go to www.brahman.co.za br ahmanjournal . com

day at La Vic toria
and the Brahman cattle looked tremendous. Results from the event can be seen on page 24. The final event was a train ride through the country side and a field day at La Victoria. The field day was definitely a high light of the trip. Visitors were greeted at the train station by a brass band and folkloric dancers. Buses were on hand to transport everyone to the field day. The fields of Brahman cattle and lovely horses were all set in a background that was beautiful to behold. Dancers and a band were just part of the entertainment at the field day. Visitors also enjoyed seeing the display of horses and were even encouraged to take a ride around the lake. The hospitality of Lorens Pons Olsen and his family was remarkable, as they opened their lovely La Victoria ranch to all the international visitors of the meeting and hosted a truly unforgettable day. Ecuador has some tremendous Brahman cattle and the breeders have done a great job with their genetics. If you have not yet traveled to Ecuador it should be on your list of “Brahman countries” to visit. The breeders will greet you with open arms and you will get to see some Brahman cattle that are certainly impressive. Make sure to visit our online version of the magazine to see our new bonus pages of the magazine and see additional photos of the field day and the World Brahman Federation Meeting. "WBF" continúa en la página page 18 El acto final fue un viaje en tren a través del campo y un día de campo en La Victoria. El día de campo fue sin duda una parte destacada de nuestro viaje. Los visitantes fueron recibidos en la estación de tren por una banda de música y danzas folclóricas. Los autobuses estaban a la mano para el transporte de todo el mundo para el día de campo . Los campos de ganado Brahman y caballos preciosos fueron fijados en un fondo que era hermoso a la vista . Bailarines y una banda eran sólo parte del entretenimiento en el día de campo . Los visitantes también disfrutaron viendo la exhibición de caballos y hasta se animó a dar un paseo alrededor del lago. La hospitalidad de Lorens Olsen Pons y su familia fue notable, ya que abrió su hermosa hacienda La Victoria a todos los visitantes internacionales de la reunión y organizaron un día inolvidable .
