2nd Annual ABBA Membership Convention pre-registration now available


The American Brahman Breeders Association will be holding its second annual convention November 16-17, 2012. The convention will bring families, breeders, vendors and livestock professionals together to learn more about the Brahman breed, best practices in ranching and other updates for ABBA members. In addition to the workshops and seminars, time will be set aside for family activities.

The ABBA Membership/Member Services Committee has already started making plans for this fun and educational event. Over the coming weeks we will continue to unveil some of these exciting plans.

The first session planned will spotlight the Ranching for Profit School that will be sponsored by Dubina Rose Ranch. This business school of the livestock industry will serve as the general session on Saturday morning, November 17. Dave Pratt, a nationally recognized lecturer, will help you find the breakthroughs you've been looking for to increase profit, improve the health of the land, improve the relationships in your business and increase your satisfaction with your ranch. A complete schedule of events will be available by September 1.

Make plans now to attend this year's Membership Convention. Pre-registration for the convention is now available for $50. This price will be guaranteed until October 18. If you choose to preregister for the event, you will also be entered for a chance to win a free two night stay at the Moody Gardens Hotel and Spa. The drawing will be held at the 2012 National Show in Dallas on October 18.  After the drawing, registration will increase to $100.
