BENEFITING BRAHMAN PERFORMANCE RESEARCH
The International Brahman Research Foundation (IBRF) is auctioning off a special semen tank lot in the Southern Royalty III Sale September 30 at Satterfield Ranch in Palestine, Texas with all proceeds going to support IBRF Research projects.

The canister has a capacity of 660 straws. Semen donations on ABBA registered bulls currently are:
More straws may be added by sale date. Updates to the semen tank will be listed on the tank lot page and The Brahman Journal Facebook page.
The tank will be auctioned off live during the sale at Satterfield Ranch in Palestine, Texas or bidders can bid online at Cattleinmotion.com during the sale.
The winning bidder can pick up the tank in person at the sale or it can be shipped at buyer’s expense. The International Brahman Research Foundation (IBRF) is a non-profit organization designed to promote the breed and identify, sponsor and encourage research projects focused on improving the Brahman breed, with special attention given to carcass and milk quality.
This new organization is not affiliated with the American Brahman Breeders Association; however, it aims to support and compliment the association by providing funds to research projects that will progress the breed.
“We are looking to support practical research projects that can be done for under $10,000 that will make a marked difference on the breed,” Carl Lambert said. “There are about eight projects currently being considered.”
Like the Brahman breed itself, the IBRF is not limited by borders, boundaries or language barriers in introducing and promoting the attributes of the American Brahman breed throughout the world.
The IBRF is a 501c3 organization approved at the state level and has been issued a federal tax ID. Any money contributed to the foundation will be fully tax deductible. American Brahman enthusiasts looking to support the IBRF can contact Carl Lambert or email us.
Don’t miss a chance to pick up some great Brahman genetics and to support research projects designed to better the Brahman breed around the world!
