Kallion Farms Brahman cattle are bred to be one
step ahead of the market. The common cattle
in today’s beef industry are bought and sold
based mainly off of their physical appearance
or conformation. But, beauty is only skin deep.
Kallion Farms Brahman cattle are not common,
they are exceptional. We test our cattle for
genetic superiority in Marbling, Tenderness and
Feed Efficiency. We also test our cattle for live
carcass quality through ultrasound technology
and actual carcass quality through extensive
product analysis. What it comes down to is, our
cattle are bred for BEEF. This combination of
traits is passed from generation to generation,
improving the consistency of our product.
Being a BEEF producer means much more than
having pretty cattle. You have to be able to know
they will produce for both your program, as well
as meet the expectations of the end consumer.
Brahman cattle are BEEF animals and at Kallion
Farms we are proving it.

As the host city for the 16th World Brahman Congress, Panama City,
Panama will be "the place to be" for Brahman Breeder's from July 2
through July 7, 2012. The Brahman Journal is especially excited about this
World Brahman Congress, as we have traveled extensively to Panama over
the last 5 years visiting Panamanian Brahman Breeders and have enjoyed
learning about the country. We look forward to providing you news and
information to help make your visit to Panama extra special.
Where will the congress be held
The Congress will be held at the Atlapa Convention Center in Panama
City. Atlapa is a very important convention center in Panama. The center
itself is situated on 8-acres. This fabulous complex borders the Pacific
Ocean and is easily accessible from Tocumen International Airport and
only minutes away from major hotels. A map of the event is on page 7.
Where to stay
If you have not made your hotel accommodations for The World
Brahman Congress now is the time to make reservations. On page 18 you
will find a Hotel Registration form. The current hotels that are listed for
The World Brahman Congress are Hotel Panama, Hotel Continental and
Hotel Manrey.
The Hotel Panama, or Hotel El
Panama, Convention Center and
Casino is a 5-star luxury hotel in
the heart of downtown Panama
City, approximately 10 minutes
from the Atlapa Convention
Center. The hotel is part of the
Summit Hotels & Resorts group,
which is known for its global
network of luxury hotels.
The history behind the Panama Hotel is interesting. In 1946 a group of
visionary businessmen decided to buy a plot of land of more than 60
hectares in the area known as “El Cangrejo”. The President of Panama at
that time was Mr. Enrique Jimenez, who asked the buyers to donate part
of this land to create what is now known as the University of Panama.
Jimenez also asked them to sell six of their best acres to a company
named “Hoteles Interamericanos”. This is where the first large hotel at that
time would be built: El Panama.
Construction on the hotel started in September of 1946 and was not
completed until 1951. The hotel was closed for a few years and was
was reopened with new management that modernized its operational
structure and technology.
Today, the El Panama welcomes guests from around the world with its
distinctive accommodations and Latin flair. If you choose to stay at Hotel
El Panama we know you will be well taken care of, as it is the "Host Hotel"
for The World Brahman Congress.
The Continental Hotel &
Casino is also conveniently
located in the heart of Panama
City, approximately 13 minutes
from the Atlapa Convention
Center. The Continental Hotel is
a tropical oasis offering upscale
accommodations and modern
amenities. The hotel features an
6

open architecture accented with fragrant roses, a wonderful place to relax
after attending seminars and judging at the Congress.
The hotel includes a Las Vegas style casino, a beautiful swimming pool
featuring a cascading fountain, shopping arcade and a gift shop. If you
make The Continental Hotel your "home" while at the Congress, make
sure to visit the Wurlitz Lobby Bar, where you can experience music
played on the renowned and exceptional Wurlitzer pipe organ.
The Hotel Manrey is
about 11 minutes from the
Convention Center, located
in the heart of the financial
and entertainment district
of the city. There are many
restaurants and lots of
nightlife both within the
hotel, as well as just steps
away from the lobby.
Manrey is a newly constructed 4.5 star boutique hotel with 36 rooms.
The ultra-modern lobby is decorated with low-slung tables containing
oversized art-books from Taschen. It has been written up in Glamour
Magazine and this luxury hotel offers a poolside bar, a bar/lounge a french
restaurant and more.

From the ABBA Executive Vice President - Chris Shivers
Desk...
I trust that everyone
had a wonderful Holiday
Season and enjoyed plenty
of food and fellowship.
As we begin 2012, we are
gearing up for another fast
paced year with numerous
Brahman activities. In a few
weeks, these activities begin
with the Winter Board of
Directors Meeting in Ft.
Worth, Texas, in addition
to several shows across the
country. Be sure to check
the Calendar of Events as
the ABBA and its affiliates
have a number of activities planned for the coming year.
As we start a New Year this also provides an opportunity for us to
look forward and make plans and set goals. I encourage you to set
some goals for your operation and what you would like to achieve
over the next twelve months. I hope you set some aggressive but
realistic goals that will help further your program and ultimately
the breed. I realize that sometimes your best made plan can be
challenged by something out of your control, but it is worthwhile to
set the goal and do your best to achieve it. I mentioned earlier that
your ABBA leadership will be meeting in Ft. Worth in a few weeks.
This will provide an opportunity to set goals and further carry out
plans for the betterment of the breed and ABBA. As we enter 2012
there seems to be much excitement in the breed as the best is still
to come with the re-establishment of the cow herd and the shift to
more adaptable and efficient cattle. I look forward to the coming
year and the many positive opportunities that will be presented to
Brahman breeders.
As we look forward to the end of the month I encourage you to
participate in a very important part of ABBA and this is the Board of
Directors elections. Many times I am asked who makes the rules and
policies for ABBA. The answer is the ABBA Board of Directors that you
elect as your representation. This election is your opportunity to affect
the way your organization is operated. The deadline to submit your
ballot is February 1. Be sure to be a part of this important process.
I hope each of you have a great January and get your year
started right. We have a great year ahead of us and I look forward to
experiencing it with you.
See You Down the Road!

Hello Brahman Exhibiters, I am Kaleb
Bendy, the 17 year old son of Rodney
and Melissa Bendy. My younger brother,
Cooper, and I have shown Brahman cattle
for four years. Showing Brahman cattle has
allowed my family to spend quality time
together. In my opinion, the TJBA (Texas
Junior Brahman Association) and AJBA
(American Junior Brahman Association)
rank among the best organizations around.
The TJBA and AJBA offer many different
contests for members to participate in.
These contests offer members opportunities
to win outside the show ring. Cooper and
I also show market hogs and broilers but
Brahman cattle are our favorite animals to
show. Showing Brahman cattle has opened
up many doors for me from meeting many
new and friendly people to winning the first
Herd Building Bull. Winning this bull has
allowed me to start my own F1 program and
a pure bred breeding program.
My Livestock Judging skills, fine tuned
through the TJBA contests, helped me pick
out my show heifers. By doing the Public
Speaking and Sales Talk contest I have
become more outgoing and self confident.
Showing Brahman cattle is fun, challenging,
and competitive. I discovered the strength
of the friendship bond between competitors
when last fall my father had a massive heart
attack. The outpouring of phone calls,
prayers, and offers to help out amazed me.
He had surgery in February and is doing
better now. I invite anyone that is interested
in showing cattle to come to a Brahman
show and look me up. I will gladly introduce
you to my Brahman friends and breeders. I
look forward to meeting new members and
seeing my friends at the up coming shows.
Kaleb Bendy

Breeding Top-Quality Brahman and F-1 Cattle
And Performance-Bred Cutting Horses
Box 129, Madisonville, Texas 77864
Ranch located just west of Madisonville on FM 1452
Ernest Cannon, Owner • Steven Trichel, Manager: 936-348-4116
w w w.j-fr a nch.com
Carolyn Falgout of K Bar Farms was
pleasantly surprised in November when
she was honored by the Florida Parish
Arena in Amite, Louisiana. Falgout was
honored along with two other lifelong
supporters of local agriculture, Thomas
Wesley Ridgedell and Senator Ben
Wayne Nevers by being added to the
Florida Parish Wall of Fame.
It was a real surprise, as each honoree
was invited and told that one of the
other recipients was being honored
that day. Falgout was pleased when she
realized she was receiving an award, “I
really thought I was there to watch my
friends receive a special award and I was
so surprised when they started talking
about me and my experiences.”
These leaders were chosen to be
honored and added to the Florida
Parish Arena Wall of Fame for their
commitment to the creation and
promotion of the Florida Parish Arena.
Raised on a dairy farm, Falgout
grew up in the cattle business and was
a competitive barrel racer. Moving to
Amite with her husband Linny 30 years
ago, Falgout established her K-Bar farms,
where she is well known for breeding top
quality Brahman cattle. Traveling the
globe as a Brahman breeder, Falgout was
the first woman to ever judge a Brahman
cattle show in Thailand.
Falgout is also known for her work
in the oyster industry. But it is her ties
to home and her hard work for the
local arena that has made a lasting
mark on the community. Falgout has
been tireless in her promotion of the
arena and her help in securing funds to
build the first of many additions to the
facility, an outdoor classroom.
Falgout
received
a
framed
commemorative wall hanging, which
included her photograph and a biography
detailing her support for and personal
accomplishments within the industry.
