Brangus Gold Heifers Making Profitable Impact

San Antonio, TX, May 14, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The International Brangus Breeders Association (IBBA) is pleased to announce that Brangus Gold, the IBBA’s commercial female verification program, is starting to reap rewards for participants in the sale ring. On May 2, 2009 at the Jordan Livestock sale in San Saba, Texas 94 Brangus Gold-tagged females earned an average of $996/head, well above the average sale price.

Ricky McKinnerney, co-owner of McKinnerney Ranch in Richland Springs, Texas has participated in the Brangus Gold program since its inception. “Good Brangus bulls and cows and good management have increased the herd’s uniformity and productivity. The Brangus Gold program has increased demand and increased profit with satisfied repeat customers.”

The Brangus Gold program provides verification of at least 50% Brangus blood and verification of the ranch of origin. Along with the IBBA’s OptimaxX program and Total Herd Reporting (THR), Brangus Gold is part of a suite of services that the IBBA offers breeders. If you have any questions concerning the benefits of participation in IBBA Commercial Marketing Programs, please contact Grant Keenen at (210) 696-8231.
