The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo 45th Annual All Breed Range Bull and Commercial Female Sales held February 29 and March 3 proved lucrative to American Brahman Breeders Association (ABBA) program members.
ABBA cattle were well represented. Certified and Golden Certified F-1 program members averaged $2,274.07 on their female pens. By division, twelve pens of Certified and Golden Certified F-1 pairs averaged $2,970.83, two bred Certified and Golden Certified F-1 females averaged $1,900 and 13 lots of open Certified and Golden Certified F-1s brought an average of $1,688.46.
Registered Brahmans also fared well; a total of eight pens of open registered females sold for an average of $2,187.50. Seven registered Brahman bulls were auctioned off on the bull side averaging $3,835.71. Brahmans were the highest averaging breed in the bull sale.
The female sale’s high selling lot, which was also the Overall Grand Champion of the female sale, was a set of Golden Certified F-1 Brahman x Hereford pairs that brought $4,000 to consignor Diamond H Cattle Company of Brenham, Texas. The high selling bull, a registered Brahman called Mr. Dubina Rose 42/0 was consigned by Dubina Rose Ranch of Schulenburg, Texas and brought $5,500.
The Houston All Breed Range Bull and Commercial Female Sale results illustrate the profitability of ABBA program cattle. Not only does registering purebred Brahman cattle improve profit margins in the commercial realm, but certifying Brahman F-1 cattle will also bring increased revenue to sellers.
