NOVEMBER <strong>1977</strong><br />

Number 3<br />

Visited with Bud Wentz down at the<br />

Fay Ranch sale last month. You know<br />

Bud is the one that figured out why<br />

Brahmans have humps ... it is to keep<br />

them from laying flat on their backs so<br />

they won't get their udders and scrotums<br />

sunburnt.<br />

Bud and I have something in common<br />

now that he is writing a column for the<br />

Simmental Shield called "Bud's Brahmantal<br />

Bull. " His writing is always humorous<br />

and he generally pokes a little fun at<br />

someone.<br />

Anyway, he told me that he didn't<br />

realize that "us editors" had so much<br />

fun ... we can take a jab at anyone we<br />

want in our columns and don't have to<br />

worry too much about getting whipped.<br />

What I am leading up to is a couple<br />

of months back, I took a little jab at<br />

my friend, Warren Budd, over in Georgia<br />

and you all can quit worrying ... he is a<br />

good sport and we got us an understanding.<br />

By the way, don't underestimate the<br />

power of The Brahman Journal ... got<br />

me a letter from some Australian wanting<br />

one of those Zebu Journals. He said he<br />

read my comments about the photographer<br />

who took the cover photo and<br />

he wanted to get him some of those<br />

Mexican Zebus. I don't know how he<br />

figures to get them in the country.<br />

Had a friend at Dallas talk to me<br />

about the lack of uniformity in our<br />

Brahman show cattle. (He will probably<br />

want equal time next month). It<br />

seemed like he made sense, but then I got<br />

to thinking that maybe that "lack of<br />

uniformity " was the reason our cattle<br />

are so popular. We got big ones, little<br />

ones, all colors and any size of ear you<br />

could want. I don't know about you,<br />

but I like a little variety... the most<br />

boring thing in the world would be to<br />

be in the Angus business and know<br />

that every calf born was going to be<br />

black, that would take all the fun out<br />

of checking pastures.<br />

This month's featured custom fitter is John Watson of Devine, Texas.<br />

An Interview with<br />

of Watson's<br />

"Our business is Brahmans", says<br />

John Watson. "We at Watson's Cattle<br />

Service are involved with all<br />

phases of the Brahman industry<br />

through breeding, through sales and<br />

through shows."<br />

John Watson gew up in Devine,<br />

Texas. He became interested in the<br />

cattle industry through working for<br />

his grandfather, who maintained<br />

several , head of registered cows.<br />

These cows later became the foundation<br />

for his own cow herd. In<br />

1958, upon graduating from Texas<br />

A & M University with a degree in<br />

Agricultural Education, Watson began<br />

teaching' a course in vocation<br />

agriculture at Devine High School.<br />

Later, he ventured into the retail<br />

store business. For two to three<br />

years during this time, Watson tried<br />

his hand at exhibiting his own cattle.<br />

In 1971, the Watson's sold their<br />

retail store business and began showing<br />

cattle for other people. Watson<br />

exhibited cattle for J. Carter Thomas,<br />

Glenn Keeney, a close friend;<br />

plus his own cattle wearing the L6<br />

brand.<br />

Since that time, the cattle numbers<br />

have increased, the fitting business<br />

has steadily grown and the<br />

Watson's schedule gets busier and<br />

busier. Watson spends a great deal<br />

of time visiting with breeders, selecting<br />

show and sale cattle and, as<br />

he puts it, "just promoting the<br />

Brahman business". He has served<br />

14<br />

on the American Brahman Breeders<br />

'Association Board of Directors for<br />

nine years and is presently serving<br />

as president of the Texas Brahman<br />

Breeders Association.<br />

What makes Watson's Cattle Service<br />

a successful and enterprising<br />

operation? According to John<br />

Watson, their success can be attributed<br />

to an enthusiastic, hard<br />

working, close knit family. John'<br />

and Lucille Watson have four sons,'<br />

Herbert, Warren, Wesley and Clint.<br />

Watson will also tell you that family<br />

involvement has been the most<br />

important ingredient in getting to<br />

the level of achievement that Watson's<br />

Cattle Service has now reached.<br />

1. Do you derive all your income<br />

from custom fitting?<br />

We feel that custom fitting by itself<br />

is not a very profitable way to<br />

make a living. It is certainly hard<br />

work with long hours. There is a<br />

pretty good investment involved in<br />

getting set up in a custom fitting<br />

operation. Custom fitting has helped<br />

us become known in the Brahman<br />

business. Fitting has helped us<br />

sell our own cattle and sell cattle on<br />

a commission basis. We are also involved<br />

in the sale management business.<br />

It takes a little bit of a lot of<br />

things to make it in this world today.<br />

We feel that we have provided<br />

a service that has benefited the<br />

breeders we have worked for.<br />

2. What has been the largest number<br />

of cattle you have handled?<br />

I guess the largest number of cattle<br />

we have handled was in 1975.<br />

In that year, we had 95 head in<br />

Houston. A highlight of the year<br />

was being selected to handle the<br />

special exhibit of cattle sent by the<br />

Mexico Association.<br />

3. What is the biggest problem in<br />

the custom fitting business, other<br />

than economic problems you are<br />

faced with?<br />

The biggest problem for a custom<br />

fitter, once he becomes established<br />

is that of labor. We have tried td<br />

use inexperienced labor and have<br />

found that idea just does not work.<br />

This labor pro blem can be attributed<br />

to the fact that you are gone from<br />

home most of the time during September,<br />

October, February and March.<br />

Being on the road a great deal<br />

makes it hard to keep good men,<br />

even at good salaries. Also, trying<br />

to find added, extra help needed<br />

during the show season, poses<br />

another problem.<br />

4. In the time you ,have been involved<br />

with Brahman cattl~ , what<br />

changes have you witnessed in the<br />

type and style of the Brahman?<br />

In the time I have been involved<br />

in custom fitting, Brahman cattle<br />

have been in constant demand. The<br />

interest in Brahmans has risen a


John Watson<br />

Cattle Service<br />

by: Betty Martin<br />

great deal. Brahman cattle have<br />

gone through some very noticeable<br />

changes, particularly in type.<br />

People today desire longer, trimmer<br />

cattle. Breeders are putting more<br />

height on their animals. These<br />

changes are good, as long as we do<br />

not forget reproduction, beef conformation<br />

and breed character.<br />

5. Are Brahman cattle more<br />

acceptable to cattlemen in your<br />

area than a few years ago?<br />

Brahman cattle have always been<br />

popular in my own area. I cannot<br />

say that I have seen much change in<br />

that. However, I can see where<br />

they have spread into new areas.<br />

6. You mentioned the spreading of<br />

the Brahman influence into new<br />

areas. What is the reason for this<br />

spread?<br />

Brahman blood has spread because<br />

of cross breeding programs. I<br />

think the commercial cow of the<br />

future is a 1/2 Brahman and a 1/2<br />

popular beef breed combination.<br />

Also, if it were not for fitters,<br />

many less Brahmans would have<br />

been shown. At cattle shows over<br />

the past five years, more Brahmans<br />

have been shown than any other<br />

breed. This increase in Brahman<br />

numbers is largely due to five or<br />

six custom fitters. The exhibiting<br />

of Brahman cattle along with the<br />

promotional work of the custom<br />

fitter, has played a very important<br />

role in making Brahmans as popular<br />

as they are now.<br />

7. · Why do so many breeders send<br />

cattle to custom fitters rather than<br />

handling the cattle themselves?<br />

Breeders just do not have the<br />

time, personnel or equipment to<br />

show their own cattle. It has to be<br />

number one in your daily schedule.<br />

Those show cattle have to be taken<br />

care of every day. Breeders simply<br />

cannot devote enough time to their<br />

show cattle, plus the time needed to<br />

look after and manage a cattle operation<br />

as well.<br />

8. To what do you attribute the<br />

popularity of the Brahman breed<br />

among cattlemen?<br />

Certainly I know if it were not<br />

for custom fitters many less Brahmans<br />

would have been shown. At<br />

almost all of the shows over the<br />

past five years there have been more<br />

Brahmans shown than any other<br />

breed. This fact is directly due to<br />

five or six custom fitters. I think<br />

the exhibition of Brahmans plus<br />

these fitters have played a very important<br />

role in making the Brahman<br />

breed as popular as it is today.<br />

9. What are your feelings concerning<br />

the future of the Brahman<br />

industry?<br />

The Brahman industry has more<br />

to offer the cattle industry than<br />

any other breed. We have not<br />

started to promote it to its fullest.<br />

In my opinion the possibilities for<br />

advancement are almost unlimited,<br />

if we will do the best job possible<br />

in breeding our cattle. The next<br />

step toward future growth is to get<br />

out and promote Brahman cattle.<br />

The sky is the limit if we are willing<br />

to work for it.<br />

The purpose of this article is to<br />

encourage ranchers to analyze the<br />

fertility of their cattle, pregnancy<br />

test and to discuss fertility in Brahman<br />

cattle. With the cattle market<br />

in a depressed cycle and the cost<br />

feed high, it is even more necessary<br />

to pregnancy test cattle at this<br />

time in order to avoid carrying open<br />

55 •• animals through the winter. Selling<br />

************************************** sperm including count, volume, motility concentration,<br />

and morphology<br />

test. It is expensive to get a<br />

cow in good breeding condition.<br />

Using an infertile bull on such a<br />

cow wastes calves, the cash crop of<br />

the cattle business.<br />

It is no secret that Brahman<br />

breeders would prefer a higher fertility<br />

rate in their cattle. Available<br />

data indicate that with sizable herds<br />

an 85 percent weaning rate is near<br />

the top. Comparative tests at various<br />

Experiment Stations have borne<br />

out this assertion. Brahmans have a<br />

reputation for being excellent mothers<br />

and putting a lot of their<br />

energy into milk production. It is<br />

known that many first calf heifers<br />

and some older animals will not<br />

cycle as long as they are nursing a<br />

calf. Often when her calf is weaned,<br />

the cow will be in heat within six<br />

days. Brahman cattle are more com-


petitive in conception rate during<br />

the prime of their breeding life but<br />

tend to become alternate year breeders<br />

in older age.<br />

As was brought out at a recent<br />

Brahman clinic, a high percentage of<br />

Brahman cattle in the United States<br />

trace back to a very few bulls from<br />

India. It is possible that the tendency<br />

for more difficult breeding<br />

traces to these animals. Crossbred<br />

Brahman cattle compare favorably<br />

to more fertile breeds.<br />

Zebu cattle in South America of<br />

the Nellore strain attain better than<br />

a 90 percent conception rate. This<br />

tends to enhance the theory that<br />

the trouble with Brahmans in the<br />

United States may be genetic.<br />

Some experiments in Florida and<br />

Louisiana that attempted to eliminate<br />

relative infertility by culling all<br />

open cows did not raise the weaning<br />

rate very much. In one experiment<br />

at the University of Florida<br />

conducted by Dr. Marvin Koger<br />

the weaning rate at the start was<br />

60 percent. By good nutrition and<br />

culling open cows he was able to<br />

raise it to only 70 to 75 percent.<br />

This is certainly a worthy improvement<br />

and may indicate that heredity<br />

is involved to some degree in<br />

infertility.<br />

Wiltbank and Spitzer at the Beeville,<br />

Texas, Experiment Station<br />

have shown that it is necessary to<br />

provide adequate energy in order to<br />

have cattle in good enough physical<br />

condition to come into heat. Further,<br />

they observed that weaning<br />

a calf from a nursing cow will aid in<br />

stimulating the onset of estrus. They<br />

also demonstrated that virgin heifers<br />

can be induced to cycle at the<br />

desired time if they are fed to l'.!.ttain<br />

the proper weight for age. In the<br />

case of Brahmans between 13 and<br />

16 months of age, 50 percent will<br />

come in heat at 700 pounds, 70<br />

percent at 750 pounds and 90+<br />

percent at 800 pounds.<br />

It is very wise of Brahman breeders<br />

to face up to the fertility improvement<br />

problem and take steps<br />

to resolve it. Other breed associations<br />

have faced similar serious problems<br />

and improved or overcome<br />

them in due time.<br />
