We are still using their genetics in our Simbrah herd today. We developed both bulls, made them Register of Renown as young as ever in history and sold over one million dollars of semen on them. Two of the best Red bulls of all times were 5P Balia 659 and Ward’s Bravo 1/09. We produced our share of the great ones and won our share of shows. We later added cattle from several herds including Raymond Long, Eligio & Esteban Garcia, Carlos Remedios, Dale Sikora, Hudson and several others. I learned a lot about the history, breeding and how to market these cattle from Dr. All of these individuals were very helpful. Lee McKellar, Billy Powell and West Ward. We used bulls from Henry Clay Koontz, Dr. Our goal was to build a functional and gentle herd of Red Brahmans. I had the opportunity to visit some of their many ranches and was very impressed with the quality. They owned thousands of good Brahman cattle. The cattle were bred in Mexico by Reyes Garcia. got back in the Brahman business in the mid 70’s by buying a herd of 1/2 Brahman x 1/2 Indu cows from our good friend Carl Schuster, who had been using them to develop his Charbray herd. Our original ABBA Membership number was 339. and concentrated more on farming, ginning and building grain elevators than on the registered Brahmans.
When Dad got back from the war, they created Guerra Bros. My family started in the registered Brahman business during World War II when my Tio Arcadio, my Dad’s brother who was also my Godfather bought some Grey Brahmans while Dad was in the war.
