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 />

..<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 />

Fertility and Pregnancy<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 />
