The primary purpose of the International Red Brangus
Breeders Association (IRBBA) is to identify Red Brangus ancestry,
record transfer of ownership, compile performance information,
create communication among the membership and promote the Red
Brangus breed. For purebred cattle to be of value, absolute accuracy
of parentage is mandatory. Without this background information,
breeding programs cannot function and genetic strengths and
weaknesses cannot be identified with confidence.
The compilation of breed information is the dual
responsibility of the breeder and the breed association. If a
breeder's records are exact and up to date, and this information is
transmitted to the IRBBA as recommended, the processes of recording
and transferring can be very simple. Complete procedures have been
developed that parallel the parameters designated by our Bylaws and
related policies. The IRBBA Handbook is prepared for the purpose of
acquainting Red Brangus breeders with the steps they must follow to
enroll, certify, register and transfer Red Brangus foundation and
purebred cattle. We highly recommend that every new and old IRBBA
member analyze this information very closely before submitting their
business to the IRBBA office for processing. This will simplify
everyone's efforts and will certainly expedite the workflow to and
from your operations.
The sole desire of the IRBBA staff is to assist Red
Brangus breeders with their cattle operations. If we can
intelligently communicate with each other concerning our joint
responsibilities in recording breed information, our efforts can be
more efficiently utilized to hasten the progress of Red Brangus
cattle, which is the mandatory ingredient in assuring financial
success for everyone involved. |
Types Of Membership
There are three types of Association memberships:
active membership, and
associate membership. Membership
applications can be obtained from the IRBBA. Memberships shall be
approved by a majority vote of the Board of Directors. If such
application is rejected, the applicant may submit his application at
the next annual meeting of the Association, when such application
shall be approved or rejected by a majority of the members present
and voting. Rejected memberships are subject to an appeal procedure
and hearing.
Active members shall be reputable breeders of Red Brangus cattle
of good character. Individuals, partnerships, corporations,
co-owners, syndicates, ownership by a trust or estate, or heir of
any deceased person holding membership in his lifetime may become
active members. Active members are eligible to record cattle at the
membership rate. Memberships are not transferable except as provided
above with respect to heirs of deceased members.
Associate membership shall be granted to any person of reputable
character, interested in the promotion of the best interests of the
Red Brangus breed of cattle. However, associate members shall be
without voting power or the right to record cattle at membership
rates.
