Membership Tips: Streamlining Your Registrations, Transfers, and Corrections

We understand that delays can be frustrating, especially when it comes to receiving important mail. To help ensure your registration applications, transfers, and corrections are processed as quickly as possible, here are a few helpful tips and reminders:

Submit Registration Applications via Email

The fastest way to process your registration applications is by submitting them via email. Payments can be made online through your account, or you can call our office to pay over the phone. Please email your applications to Madison at [email protected] for prompt handling.

Be Aware of Postal Delays

The postal service has been experiencing delays, so we recommend sending your work ahead of time to avoid any issues. With major shows approaching, please double-check that all of your papers are in order. If you require expedited delivery, we offer FedEx overnight services at the member’s expense.

Transfers

Transfers can be initiated online, with the original papers mailed to our office afterward. Alternatively, you may mail the originals along with the transfer request. Be sure to fully complete the buyer and seller information, including the date of delivery. If either the buyer or seller does not have an ABBA number, we can assign a non-member account number, provided we have their mailing address.

Corrections

Corrections can be made free of charge before the registration papers are printed. Once printed, a $5 correction fee will apply.

Additional Resources

Don’t forget to utilize the Digital Beef User’s Manual for step-by-step instructions on common tasks. It’s an excellent resource for quick answers and guidance!

By following these tips, we can ensure smoother and faster processing of your transactions. If you have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to reach out to our office.

DNA Resources

Don’t forget, we have a DNA Protocol Step-by-Step Guide available on our website to walk you through the process with ease. This guide provides clear instructions to ensure your DNA testing is completed correctly and efficiently.

ABBA Board of Directors Meeting and Virtual Committee Updates

Due to the cancellation of the Ft. Worth meeting caused by inclement weather, the ABBA Board of Directors Meeting has been rescheduled for Thursday, February 20, 2025, in Beaumont, TX. To ensure we remain on schedule with all necessary discussions, several committee meetings will be held virtually ahead of the in-person Board meeting.

The Finance and Executive Committees will meet in person on February 19, while other standing committees will meet virtually to streamline discussions and maximize efficiency. Committee reports will be presented during the Board of Directors Meeting.

For those joining virtual meetings, we encourage you to participate and share your input. If you are unable to attend, please complete the ABBA Virtual Meeting Input Form to submit your questions or concerns.

Thank you for your cooperation and flexibility as we work together to maintain meaningful discussions and ensure a productive meeting schedule. For the full meeting schedule and virtual meeting links, visit our website at https://brahman.org/abba-board-of-directors-committee-meetings/.

ABBA Travels Internationally to Honduras

¡Hola! Hello! Bonjour! Olá! नमस्ते!

Brahman cattle thrive across the globe, and as I’ve mentioned before, our international breeders and associations are vital to the American Brahman Breeders Association (ABBA). As the CEO of ABBA, I recently had the privilege of taking my first international trip to Honduras. It was an incredible experience connecting with dedicated breeders in a country known for its outstanding Brahman cattle.

At ABBA, we are actively listening and strategizing ways to better support the global Brahman community. As we advance in research, implement DNA technology, and foster the worldwide growth of our breed, we remain committed to serving all our members—both domestically and internationally.

I look forward to visiting more countries, engaging with breeders, and strengthening our connections with Brahman associations worldwide. Together, we will continue to shape the future of this remarkable breed.

Best regards,

 

Paul Maulsby 

ABBA 

Executive Vice President

2025 NCBA Cattle Con

Paul, Chloe, and Kylie recently attended the NCBA CattleCon, where they had a great time meeting with cattlemen and women from across the industry. The event provided valuable opportunities to connect with producers, participate in educational seminars, and represent the Brahman breed on a national stage.

Networking with leaders in the cattle industry and learning about the latest innovations in cattle production reinforced our commitment to supporting our members and promoting the versatility and value of Brahman cattle. We’re proud to continue advocating for the breed and building relationships within the cattle community!
