JBBA Member Wins Big in the American Steer Show in Ft. Worth
Congratulations to JBBA member Seth Byers for exhibiting the Champion American Steer at the 2012 Southwestern Exposition and Livestock Show in Ft. Worth, Texas. Seth exhibited a Beefmaster Advancer steer that was produced by a previous JBBA National Champion Female for his sister. This is quite an achievement as Seth had to compete against more than 120 Bos Indicus influenced cattle that classified into the show. His steer topped all of the Brahman, Brangus, Santa Gertrudis, Braford, etc. cross steers in the show. Seth and the steer can be seen in a youtube video found at (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AnxrHhvJwU&feature=player_detailpage) . The steer sold for $50,000.00 which was the highest of all of the breed champions. Congratulations to Seth and the entire family.

Welcome to Beefmaster Breeders United! The Beefmaster breed originated in 1954 based on a 3-way cross between Hereford, Shorthorn and Brahman cattle. Our founder, Tom Lasater, selected these cattle on the “Six Essentials” of disposition, fertility, weight, conformation, milk production, and hardiness. We offer registration for Beefmaster, Beefmaster Advancer, E6 commercial females, and an upgrading program.
Beefmaster cattle have proven to be highly efficient in terms of feed conversion, pasture maintainability and general cost of production. Because Beefmaster cattle have the potential to gain more efficiently on grass and feed, while maintaining highly marketable carcasses, they are less costly to grow and will yield higher returns. Niche markets favorable to Beefmaster influenced cattle include the replacement female market, grass based stocker operations, retained ownership or branded beef programs and even youth or recreational show cattle. Because of their unique genetics and characteristics, Beefmasters help cattlemen take advantage of changing markets while staying true to the basic ranching principles. Ranchers can depend on fertile cows that will consistently raise heavy weaning weight calves in a variety of conditions and climates.
The primary purpose of our association is to provide service and support to its member breeders and other cattlemen using Beefmaster genetics.
