PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
Fellow Senepol Breeders,
Another year has come and gone and with it we enjoyed another educa-tional and fun convention. This years theme was reproduction and the speakers could not have been better. Our first speaker was Dr. Ky Pohler from the University of Tennessee. Dr. Pohler is a reproductive physiologist who is presently conducting research about embryo mortality. We also had the pleasure of hearing from James Chenevert and his wife Hilda, the owners of Continental Genetics. Their facility specializes in semen collection and embryo production. We were all able to learn more about what their facility can offer us, as well as all of the options for shipping our genetic products after they are produced.
The convention was attended by a diverse group of breeders from many different regions including Brazil, South Africa, Guatemala, Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Puerto Rico and the U.S.
As most of you already know, Hans announced his retirement at this years convention. I know he would have liked to continue serving the SCBA on and on, but he has decided to take a less active role in the SCBA.
Hans, I personally want to thank you for all of your years of service to the SCBA and the Senepol breed. I know I will be contacting you from time to time for not only your opinion and advice but also for your historical perspective. Enjoy you retirement, my friend!
I have often heard that change is the only true constant and this truth inevi-
tably reminds me of a quote from Eric Hoffer that goes something like this, In times of change learners will in-herit the earth, while the learned will find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists. The SCBA is proud to have a board full of diverse individuals with rich life and business experiences. Our board members are diverse in age, geography, education and back-ground, but they all share an innate ability to think outside of the box. Our directors are learners.
There are advances being made in genetics everyday and it will not be long before the knowledge gained through genetic testing will be one of a cattle breeders most valuable tools. Through its breeders, the SCBA has been proactive in genetic testing of Senepol cattle for various traits. Iden-tifying the positives of your herd is a must for improvement, but identifying the negatives is just as important. An old and experienced purebred cattle producer once told me that your herd is a result of everything you choose to breed for and of everything you refuse to breed against. Read that again and let it sink in.
I have a very positive outlook for our association and for Senepol cattle. We are fast becoming a breed that has worldwide industry acceptance because of its unparalleled heat toler-ance embodied in a docile bos tau-rus animal . Learn what the industry needs and produce cattle they can use and you will be a guaranteed success.
Mark Sanders

CARTA DEL PRESIDENTE
Compaeros Criadores de Senepol,
Otro ao ha llegado y se ha ido, y con l he-mos disfrutado de otra convencin educativa y divertida. El tema este ao fue la reproduc-cin, y no poda haber habido mejores confe-rencistas. Nuestro primer conferencista fue el Dr. Ky Pohler de la Universidad de Tennes-see. El Dr. Pohler es un fisilogo reproductivo que actualmente dirige la investigacin acer-ca de la mortandad de los embriones. Tam-bin tuvimos el placer de escuchar a James Chenevert y a su esposa, Hilda, dueos de Gentica Continental (Continental Genetics). Sus instalaciones se especializan en la reco-leccin de semen y la produccin de embrio-nes. Todos pudimos aprender ms acerca de lo que nos ofrecen sus instalaciones, as como las opciones para embarcar nuestros produc-tos genticos despus de que son producidos.
A la convencin asisti un grupo diverso de criadores de diferentes lugares, incluyendo Brasil, Sudfrica, Guatemala, Repblica Dominicana, Venezuela, Puerto Rico y Es-tados Unidos.
Como muchos de ustedes ya saben, Hans anunci su jubilacin en la convencin de este ao. S que le hubiera gustado conti-
nuar sirviendo a SCBA por siempre, pero ha decidido tomar un papel menos activo en SCBA.
Hans, personalmente te quiero agradecer por todos tus aos de servicio con SCBA y la raza Senepol. S que estar en contacto contigo con frecuencia no slo para pedir tu opinin y consejo, sino tambin para co-nocer tu perspectiva histrica. Disfruta tu jubilacin, amigo mo!
Con frecuencia he escuchado que el cam-bio es la nica constante verdadera, y esta certeza inevitablemente me recuerda una cita de Eric Hoffer que va ms o menos as: En tiempos de cambio los aprendices here-darn la tierra, mientras que los conocedo-res estarn perfectamente equipados para tratar con un mundo que ya no existe. La SCBA orgullosamente tiene una directiva llena de personas diversas con grandes ex-periencias en la vida y el negocio. Nuestros miembros de la directiva son de diferentes edades, ubicacin geogrfica, educacin y antecedentes, pero todos comparten una habilidad innata para pensar fuera del cua-dro. Nuestros directores son aprendices.
Se estn logrando avances en la gentica
diariamente, y no pasar mucho tiempo antes de que el conocimiento adquirido a travs de las pruebas de gentica sea una de las herramientas ms valiosas de los criadores de ganado. A travs de estos criadores, la SCBA ha sido proactiva en las pruebas de gentica hechas al ganado Se-nepol para diferentes caractersticas. Poder identificar los positivos de tu manada es una obligacin para mejorar, pero identifi-car los negativos es igualmente importante. Un productor de ganado purasangre, viejo y con mucha experiencia, una vez me dijo que tu manada es el resultado de todo por lo cual ests a favor de criar y todo por lo cual ests en contra de criar. Vulvanlo a leer y asimlenlo.
Tengo una visin muy positiva para nuestra asociacin y el ganado Senepol. Estamos convirtindonos muy rpidamente en una raza que tiene una aceptacin mundial en la industria debido a su incomparable tolerancia al calor, presentada en un dcil animal Bos Taurus. Aprende lo que la in-dustria necesita y produce ganado que pue-dan usar y as tendrs el xito garantizado.

The 39th Anniversary SCBA Convention was June 1st - 3rd, 2016 in Baton Rouge, LA USA this year and was a grand time for everyone. We started things off with a cocktail social on Wednesday evening at the hotel lounge where everyone could register, receive their convention packets and meet and greet in a casual, fun environment.
Thursday morning we held the SCBAs first business meet-ing where members and guests introduced themselves and we covered a variety of SCBA topics. This year the SCBA hosted guests from South Africa, Guatemala and Brazil and it was good to hear from them. We also heard from nominees to the Board of Directors as to their goals for the SCBAs future.
After the meeting we were honored to have a presentation by Ky G. Pohler, PhD, Reproduction Physiologist from University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture. His presentation on Em-bryo Mortality was very educational and well received. With a break for lunch his presentation continued into the afternoon. Later in the afternoon we were joined by the Continental Ge-netics team: James and Hilde Chenevert, Mandy Cooper and Mona Olinde. An educational and entertaining group who most of us have worked with in the past but met for the first time during this convention. They made a short presentation about what CG has been busy doing over the last year and prepping us for our tour of the facilities planned for Friday.
Friday started with the conclusion of our business meeting and election of new members of the board. The afternoon was another educational opportunity when we headed to the
La Convencin SCBA del 39no Aniversario fue del 1 al 3 de junio, 2016, en Baton Rouge, La, EUA, este ao y fue algo maravilloso para todos. Comenzamos las actividades con un coctel social el mircoles por la tarde en el recibi-dor del hotel, en donde todos se podan registrar, recibir sus paquetes para la convencin y conocer y saludar a todos dentro de un ambiente casual y agradable.
El jueves por la maana tuvimos la primera junta de tra-bajo de SCBA, en la cual los socios e invitados se presen-taron, y abarcamos una gran variedad de temas de SCBA. Este ao el SCBA fue anfitrin de invitados desde Sud-frica, Guatemala y Brasil, y fue muy agradable saber de ellos. Tambin tuvimos noticias de los nominados a la Jun-ta de Directores con respecto a sus metas para el futuro de SCBA.
Despus de la unta tuvimos el honor de asistir a una pre-sentacin del Dr. Ky G. Pohler, Fisilogo en Reproduccin de la Facultad de Agricultura de la Universidad de Ten-nessee. Su presentacin sobre la Mortandad del Embrin fue muy educativa y bien recibida. Con un descanso para comer, su presentacin continu hasta entrada la tarde. Despus, se nos uni el equipo de Gentica Continental: James y Hilde Chenevert, Mandy Cooper, y Mona Olinde. Un grupo muy educativo y entretenido, con quien muchos hemos trabajado en el pasado, pero que apenas nos co-nocimos en esta convencin. Hicieron una presentacin corta acerca de lo que ha ocupado el tiempo de CG a lo largo del ao pasado y nos prepararon para un tour de las instalaciones, planeado para el viernes.
El viernes inici con la conclusin de nuestra junta de tra-

Louisiana State University facility of Continental Genetics where many Senepol are housed. We were given a compre-hensive tour of the grounds as well as the office and labora-tory spaces. Our breeders were able to see the system, ask questions and assess the Senepol there.
Lunch on Friday was hosted by Continental Genetics and was an appreciated example of Louisiana cuisine and hospitality. This was followed by a trip out to see where some Senepol cows being flushed reside. Due to the heavy rain that day we were a bit limited as to what we could see but look forward to another opportunity soon.
Our annual banquet was held at the Crowne Plaza where we enjoyed a delicious steak dinner, award presentations and the fun auction. This years award winners were as follows:
The Frits E. Lawaetz Award for Outstanding contributor to the Senepol breed went to James Chenevert of Continental Genetics. James and the whole Continental Genetics team have worked with the Senepol breed and breeders diligently for years. The SCBA appreciates their passion for the breed and all they do to promote the breed as well as export quality Senepol genetics around the world.
The Mario Gasperi Award for Breeder of the Year went to Mark Sanders for his consistent and continuing effort working both as a breeder and with breeders to help Senepol thrive internationally.
bajo y la eleccin de los nuevos integrantes de la Junta. La tarde fue otra oportunidad educativa cuando fuimos a las instalaciones de Continental Genetics en la Universidad del Estado de Louisiana, en donde se alberga a muchos Senepol. Se nos dio un tour exhaustivo de los terrenos, as como de los espacios de laboratorio y oficinas. Nuestros criadores pudieron ver el sistema, hacer preguntas y valo-rar a los Senepol que ah se encontraban.
La comida el viernes estuvo a cargo de Continental Genetics y fue un ejemplo muy bien apreciado de la gastronoma y hospitalidad de Louisiana. Despus de esto hubo un viaje para ver dnde viven algunas de las reses Senepol que estn siendo purgadas. Debido a la lluvia tan intensa de ese da, estuvimos un poco limitados respecto a lo que podamos ver, pero esperamos tener otra oportunidad pronto.
Nuestro banquete anual fue en el Crowne Plaza, en donde disfrutamos una deliciosa cena de carne, presentaciones de premios y la subasta divertida. Los ganadores de pre-mios de este ao fueron:
El Premio Frits E. Lawrence por Contribucin Sobresa-liente a la Raza Senepol fue para James Chenevert de Continental Genetics. James, y todo el equipo de Conti-nental Genetics, han trabajado con la raza Senepol y sus criadores durante muchos aos de manera diligente. La SCBA reconoce su pasin por la raza y todo lo que hacen para promoverla, as como para exportar gentica Senepol de calidad hacia todo el mundo.

Mario Bruun, President and Founder of ITC Group and Ca-bana San Pablo, has more than 25 years of progressively responsible experience directing as many as 300 employees in technological companies located in Bolivia, Paraguay, Chile, Peru and United States. Mario has led these companies through start-up, survival, turnaround and growth.
Marios greatest strengths are his creativity, drive and leader-ship. He thrives on challenges, particularly those on creativity and innovation. Among some of his significant achievements, Mario introduced the first Of-fice Center Chain in Bolivia (similar to Kinkos) in the early 90s. In the early 2000s, he installed and implemented the first Telemedicine Hospital Net-work in Latin America, based in Argentina. In 2005, he built the first state-of-the-art intelli-gent building and the first Tier 4 datacenter in the region, in Bolivia.
Because of his passion for wild-life and life in the countryside, Mario purchased a ranch back in 2008 in which he decided to start a different and creative project for Bolivian market. He invested and developed the Senepol breed with the help and support from Sacramento Farms and SCBA good friends. Senepol has solidly become alternative number one in the market for cross breeding.
Born and raised in Santa Cruz, Bolivia (South America), Ma-rio still resides there with his wife Alba and his three grown children. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Texas A&M University in Texas and a Master of Business Adminis-tration (MBA) degree from NUR University in Bolivia.
Mario Bruun, Presidente y Fundador del Grupo ITC y Ca-bana San Pablo, tiene ms de 25 aos de experiencia pro-gresivamente responsable dirigiendo a hasta 300 empleados en compaas tecnolgicas localizadas en Bolivia, Paraguay, Chile, Per y Estados Unidos. Mario ha dirigido estas com-paas a lo largo de su arranque, supervivencia, recuperacin y crecimiento.
Las mayores fortalezas de Mario son su creativi-dad, empuje y liderazgo. Sobresale en retos, es-pecialmente en aquellos que implican creatividad e innovacin. Dentro de sus logros ms signifi-cativos, est el que Ma-rio introdujo la primera Cadena de Centro de Oficinas en Bolivia (algo similar a Kinkos) a prin-cipios de los 90s. A prin-cipios de los aos 2000, instal e implement la primera Red de Hospi-tales de Telemedicina en Amrica Latina, con base en Argentina. En 2005

Dan Queener, Rivers Edge Farm
I have spent most of my life working with registered cattle. First with Polled Herefords, then Brafords and Angus. We ran approx. 150 to 175 brood cows. This was our only source of income. When my Dad passed away in 2013 my wife and I decided to sell out. We have since purchased a smaller farm in Northeast Tennessee.
We soon realized we had to have cattle again. After looking at several different breeds we chose Senepol. We purchased 20 females from Mark Sanders owner of Millertown Sene-pol June of 2015. I do not know of any breed of cattle that can have a more positive effect for people that have a Cross Breeding program. No breed of cattle is perfect, but Senepol cattle have the traits that will improve any herd.
I want to thank you for the opportunity to work with you to promote our breed of cattle. I feel like any time one of us sells cattle to a new customer it is a benefit to us all. Let us all work together to make our organization grow and benefit us all.
Respectfully yours Dan Queener,
Casi toda mi vida la he pasado trabajando con ganado de registro. Primero con Polled Herefords, despus Bradfords y Angus. Trabajamos con aproximadamente 150 a 175 reses de cra. Esta era nuestra nica fuente de ingreso. Cuando mi pap falleci en 2013 mi esposa y yo decidimos vender. Desde entonces hemos comprado una granja ms pequea en el noreste de Tennessee.
Muy pronto nos dimos cuenta de que tenamos que tener ga-nado nuevamente. Despus de ver varias razas diferentes, es-cogimos Senepol. Compramos 20 hembras a Mark Sanders, dueo de Senepol Millertown, en junio de 2015. No conozco alguna raza de reses que tenga un efecto ms positivo para la gente que tiene programa de Cra Cruzada. Ninguna raza de res es perfecta, pero el ganado Senepol tiene las caractersti-cas que mejorarn cualquier manada.
Quiero agradecerles la oportunidad de trabajar con ustedes para promocionar nuestra raza de ganado. Siento como que cada vez que alguno de nosotros vende ganado a un cliente nuevo, es un beneficio para todos nosotros. Trabajemos jun-tos para hacer que nuestra organizacin crezca y nos benefi-cie a todos.
Respetuosamente, Dan Queener

This year the SCBA took a little extra time before the 2016 Convention to visit with several of our USA breeders and their herds. Mark Sanders, a member of the Board of Di-rectors hosted 6 international travelers and SCBA members from South Africa, Guatemala and Brazil. They were joined by our guest speaker, Dr. Ky Pohler and drove from Tennes-see through several states to the hotel in Baton Rouge, LA. You can read his trip report on the next page.
I also decided to take this opportunity to make a road trip of it by driving from Wilmington, NC to the Convention in Baton Rouge, LA. This gave me the opportunity to visit with SCBA members as I drove through South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Missis-sippi and Louisiana. I would like to thank all those who welcomed me into their homes, introduced me to their herds and shared their stories and time with me.
We wish we could have visited with more of our breeders and hope to work together to put together Se-nepol events that will bring members together when-ever time and travel allow.
Power Line Farm (1000335)
Owner Bobby Griffin has been an active member of the SCBA for decades. He has served the SCBA as a member of the Board of Direc-tors, as well. We met at his farm in south central Georgia to show me his grass fed herd. Power Line has been very active in the Senepol breed-up program resulting in quality Fullblood Se-nepol that produce highly sought Sene-pol genetics as well as increased value at the feedlots.
Este ao la SCBA se tom un poco de tiempo extra antes de la Convencin de 2016 para visitar a varios de nuestros criadores de Estados Unidos y sus manadas. Mark San-ders, integrante de la Junta Directiva recibi a 6 viajeros internacionales y socios de SCBA de Sudfrica, Guatema-la y Brasil. Se les uni nuestro orador invitado, Dr. Ky Pohler, y manejaron desde Tennessee a travs de varios estados hasta el hotel en Baton Rouge, LA. Pueden leer el reporte de su viaje en la siguiente pgina.Tambin decid tomar esta oportunidad para hacer de esto un viaje por carretera la manejar desde Wilmington, NC has-ta la Convencin en Baton Rouge, LA. Esto me dio la oportu-
nidad de visitar a nuestros socios de SCBA al ir mane-jando por Carolina del Sur, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, y Louisiana. Quisiera agradecer a todos aquellos que me recibieron en sus hogares, me mostra-ron sus manadas y compar-tieron sus historias y tiem-po conmigo.
Nos hubiera gustado visitar a ms de nuestros criadores y esperar poder trabajar juntos para organizar even-tos Senepol que unirn a los socios cuando lo permi-tan el tiempo y los viajes.
Granja Lnea Energtica (1000335)
El dueo, Bobby Griffin, ha sido un socio activo de SCBA durante dcadas. Tambin ha estado en SCBA como inte-grante de la Junta Directiva. Nos encontramos en su ran-cho en la parte sur-central de Georgia para mostrarme su manada alimentada con pasto. Power Line ha estado muy activo en el programa de mejora en la crianza de Senepol, dando como resultado Senepol Sangre completa de calidad que producen una gentica Senepol ampliamente solicita-da, al igual que un valor incrementado en los cebaderos.
SCBA ROAD TRIP

Hipp Farms (1100869) and Huckaville Farms (1100868)
In the Florida Panhandle/south Alabama area we have a sev-eral Senepol breeders. My first visit in the area was with a couple of new SCBA members who joined last year. Jason Hipp of Hipp Farms and Curtis Mitchell of Huckaville Farms chose to bring Senepol into their herds after looking into sev-eral different breeds. Once they learned all that Senepol has to offer they bought some from different breeders in the area.
Their farms are a few short miles from each other so it was an easy trek to meet them both, as well as their kids, and see their properties. Their herds are a good mix of different breeds that they want to use as breed-up animals with the Senepol focus. As a person fairly new to the breed myself, Ill be following these breeders as they continue to grow. An exciting time for breeders, for sure.
Five Star Senepol Farm (1100431)
Next I drove about 20 miles south to Five Star Senepol in Adel, GA. George and Myrna Fiveash first joined the SCBA almost a decade ago and have been active Senepol breeders ever since, having raised over 75 registered Pure and Full blood Senepol.
We spent quite some time touring their gorgeous property and interacting with their equally gorgeous animals. It was obvious that they take great pride in their herd and for good reason.
Granjas Hipp (1100869) y Granjas Huckaville (1100868)
En el rea noroeste de Florida/sur de Alabama tenemos varios criadores de Senepol. Mi primera visita en el rea fue con un par de nuevos socios de SCBA que acaban de integrarse el ao pasado. Jason Hipp de Granjas Hipp y Curtis Mitchell de Granjas Huckaville escogieron integrar ganado Senepol a sus manadas despus de investigar acer-ca de varias razas diferentes.
Una vez que aprendieron todo lo que Senepol les puede ofrecer, compraron algunos de los diferentes criadores en el rea. Sus granjas estn a algunas millas de distancia una de la otra, as que fue un recorrido fcil para en-contrarme con ambos, as como con sus hijos, y ver sus propiedades.
Sus manadas son una buena mezcla de diferen-tes razas que quieren usar para mejorar la crianza con el enfoque Senepol. Siendo yo misma una per-sona relativamente nueva con la raza, estar siguien-do a estos criadores mien-tras siguen creciendo.
Seguramente ser un tiempo muy emocionante para los criadores.
Granja Senepol Cinco Estrellas (1100431)
Despus manej unas 20 millas hacia el sur hasta el Senepol Cin-co Estrellas en Adel, FA. George y Myrna Fiveash se unieron a SCBA hace casi una dcada y han sido criadores Senepol activos desde enton-ces, habiendo criado ms de 75 Senepol Purasangre y Sangre completa registrados.
Pasamos bastante tiempo recorriendo su hermosa propie-dad e interactuando con sus animales igualmente hermo-sos. Era obvio que se enorgullecen de su manada, y con muy buena razn.

MJGJ Ranch (1100528)
Another breeder in the Florida Pan-handle/south Ala-bama area is MJGJ Ranch. Members since 2009 Re-becca and Michael
Watkins have raised dozens of percent, pure and full blood Senepol.
Due to his busy schedule as a commercial pilot I did not get the opportunity to meet Mike but I finally did get to meet Re-becca face-to-face. She and I had spoken several times over phone and email, both learning a little more each time as we worked to catch things up for their herd.
Their herd was im-pressive with prime examples of what Senepol can be.
FC Ranch (1001435)
The last ranch I was able to visit was FC Ranch in Crestview, FL where Frank and Chris Wierer welcomed me with open arms. Mem-ber since 1995, FC Ranch has been raising percent to fullblood Se-nepol for decades.
Their herd was flush with new born calves and soon to birth dams.
Chris and Frank brought up some good ideas that the SCBA hopes to put into action this year and continue into the future.
Rancho MJGJ (1100528)
Otro criador en el rea noroeste de Florida/sur de Alabama es el Rancho MJGJ. Socios desde 2009, Rebecca y Michael Watkins han criado docenas de Senepol de sangre porcen-tual, pura y completa.
Debido a sus horarios tan ocupados como piloto comer-cial, no tuve a oportunidad de ver a Mike, pero finalmente puede conocer a Rebecca cara-a-cara. Ella y yo habamos hablado varias veces por telfono y por correo electrnico, las dos aprendiendo un poco ms cada vez al ir tratando de actualizar las cosas para su manada.
Su manda era impresionante con ejemplos perfectos de lo que puede ser el Senepol.
Rancho FC (1001435)
El ltimo rancho que pude visitar fue el Rancho FC en Crestview, FL, donde Frank y Chris Wierer me recibieron con los brazos abiertos. Socios desde 1995, el Rancho FC ha estado incrementando el porcentaje al Senepol sangre completa durante dcadas.
Su manada estaba llena con becerros recin nacidos y hembras a punto de parir.
A Chris y Frank les surgieron algunas ideas muy buenas que el SCBA espera poner en marcha este ao y continuar en el futuro.

Note from Rebecca:
I want to thank all of the people who I got to visit with on this trip. I know some of you live 20+ miles from your herds and the fact that you all took time out of your busy days to open your homes and ranches to me is humbling. I wish I was a better story teller and photographer because I did not do you justice in this brief article. Neither words nor photos can express the warmth and joy I experienced on this journey. I hope to get to see you all again soon and that I or other SCBA team members get this same opportunity again with SCBA breeders everywhere.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Cheers, Rebecca
Nota de Rebecca:
Deseo agradecer a todas aquellas personas a quienes pude visitar en este viaje. S que algunos de ustedes viven a 20 millas o ms de sus manadas y, el hecho de que todos se tomaron tiempo de sus das muy ocupados para abrirme las puertas de sus casas y ranchos es una leccin de humil-dad, Quisiera ser mejor narradora y fotgrafa porque no les hice justicia en este breve artculo.
Ni las palabras ni las fotografas podrn expresar el calor y alegra que viv en este viaje. Espero poderlos ver a todos muy pronto y que algunos otros socios del equipo SCBA o yo misma puedan volver a tener esta misma oportunidad con los criadores de SCBA en todos lados.
Desde el fondo de mi corazn, muchas gracias.
Saludos, Rebecca

Viaje en reversa a EUA
5/29 - 5/30 Guests arrive: Carlos and Kadu Battistella from Brazil (Senepol 77K); Julio Lainfiesta (Finca Maria Olga) and Jaime Recinos from Guatemala; Wilhelm Oosthuysen and Danie Nieuwoudt from Senepol Cattle Breeders Society of South Africa all arrive into Knoxville, Tennessee
5/30 Guest speaker, Dr. Ky Pohler and the rest of the travelers loaded in our rented van and we began our tour starting with a visit to one of Millertown Senepols farms where I keep yearling heifers and a few cows. After about an hour of picture taking and Q&A we visited another one of my farms where I keep a group of cows that are close to calving and cow/calf pairs. After another session of picture taking and Q&A we continued on to Dan Queeners Rivers Edge Farm, in Surgoinsville, TN where he has a nice herd that he is crossing with Red Angus. Dan explained that the reason he become a Senepol breeder was because of the heat his cattle would have to deal with because of his farms lack of shade and that his market for the composite he is breeding will have the same conditions. Dan is a well-respected third generation seed stock producer from Georgia. Our travelers are very interested in herd improvement through genetics from the USA and they ask a lot of questions about experience and availability. We left Dans ranch and continued on to another of my farms where I keep herd sires and developing young bulls. Everyone is impressed by the uniformity, disposition and condition of the animals. It is important to them that my herd is entirely grass developed.
29/5 30/5. Llegaron los invitados: Carlos y Kadu Battiste-lla de Brasil (Senepol 77K); Julio Lainfiesta (Finca Mara Olga) y Jaime Recinos de Guatemala; Wilhelm Oosthuysen y Danie Nieuwoudt de la Sociedad de Criadores de Ganado Senepol de Sudfrica. Todos llegan a Knoxville, Tennessee.
30/5 - El orador invitado, Dr. Ky Pohler y los dems viajeros se subieron a nuestra van rentada y comenzamos nuestro re-corrido, iniciando con una visita a uno de los ranchos Sene-pol en Millertown donde tengo novillas jvenes y algunas vacas. Despus de aproximadamente una hora de tomar fo-tografas, y de preguntas y respuestas, visitamos otro de mis ranchos donde tengo un grupo de vacas que estn prximas al parto, y parejas de vacas con becerros. Despus de otra sesin fotogrfica y de preguntas y respuestas continuamos hacia el Rancho Rivers Edge de Dan Queener, en Surgoins-ville, TN, donde tiene una buena manada que est cruzando con Red Angus. Dan explic que la razn por la cual se con-virti en criador de Senepol era debido al calor que su gana-do tendra que soportar por la falta de sombra en su rancho, y que el mercado para la combinacin que est criando ten-dra las mismas condiciones. Dan es la tercera generacin en su familia, muy respetada, de productores de Georgia. Nues-tros viajeros estn muy interesados en la mejora de manadas a travs de la gentica de Estados Unidos, y hacen muchas preguntas acerca de la experiencia y disponibilidad. Salimos del rancho de Dan y continuamos hacia otro de mis ranchos donde tengo machos y toros jvenes en desarrollo. Todos estn muy impresionados por la uniformidad, disposicin y condicin de los animales. Es importante para ellos que mi manada est totalmente desarrollada con base en pasto.
31/5 Alrededor de las 8 a.m. recog a todos, incluyendo al Dr. Pohler, e iniciamos nuestro viaje hacia el sur a otros ran-chos. Paramos en el Lookout Mountain Genetics (Mirador Gentica de Montaa) en Fort Payne, en donde hicimos un recorrido por las instalaciones de un recolector de semen. De ah, visitamos a Teddy Gentry en Fort Payne, Alabama. Llegamos ah alrededor de las 10:30 a.m., en donde fuimos recibidos por Teddy, quien nos dio un recorrido de su ganado y dio una pltica breve acerca de la gentica que estaba desa-rrollando y que tena para ofrecer. Nos fuimos alrededor de las 12:00 p.m. y continuamos hacia el rancho Swannee Car-vers, ubicado en Horton, Alabama. l y su esposa nos tenan preparada una deliciosa comida cuando llegamos. Despus de comer recorrimos su rancho y vimos su hermosa mana-da Senepol. Despus de tomar muchas fotografas y hacer preguntas, nos fuimos para seguir hacia el rancho de Carl
SCBA TRIP REPORT
By Mark Sanders
5/29/2016 - 6/11/2016
Reverse trip to USA
16
5/31- At around 8:AM I picked up everyone including Dr Pohler and we started our trip through the South to the other ranches. We made a stop at Lookout Mountain Genetics in Fort Payne where we toured a semen collection facility. From there we visited Teddy Gentry in Fort Payne Alabama. We arrived there at around 10:30AM where we were greeted by Teddy who did a tour of his herd and gave short talk about the genetics he was developing and that he had to offer. We left there at around 12PM and continued on to Swannee Carv-ers ranch located in Horton Alabama. He and his wife had a wonderful lunch prepared for us upon our arrival. After eat-ing we toured his ranch and looked at his nice Senepol herd. After a lot of picture taking and Q&A we left and continued on to Carl Parkers ranch, Parkers Senepol, in Rogersville Alabama. Carl drove us around to his different ranch loca-tions where we saw many good Senepol cows and bulls. Carl handed out a flyer with info on the genetics he had for sale. Carl fielded a lot of questions about his genetic offerings and of course a lot of pictures were taken. We all left there including Carl to eat at a nice local country restaurant. We continued on from there to spend the night in Tuscaloosa, AL.
6/1- We left Tuscaloosa at around 10AM to visit Earl Kings ranch, King Farms, in Jackson, AL. We were joined my Earls son, SCBA Director Ronnie King, along the way and he es-corted us to his fathers ranch. Earl and his granddaughter had nice lunch prepared for us. After lunch we toured his ranch and looked at the bull and cows he was developing. After much talk and many pictures we continued on to John DeGrootes Oak Lane Ranch, in Pascagoula, MS. We arrived at about 3PM and immediately started a tour of Johns ranch. John talked about the genetics he had to offer and fielded many questions. We left Johns ranch and continued on to Baton Rouge arriving in time for the meet and greet hosted by the SCBA.
6/2- We attended the SCBA national convention where we were treated to a wonderful talk by Dr. Ky Pohler about repro-ductive physiology and genetic improvement. After Dr.Pohler spoke James Chenevert and his wife, Hilde, spoke about their semen and embryo collection facility located in Baton Rouge. A lot of their talk revolved around how hard it is to deal with both the US and foreign governments when trying to get health papers approved for export.
6/3- We went to Continental Genetics to tour their collection facility and to look at the Senepol bulls they are currently col-
Parker, Parkers Senepol, en Rogersville, Alabama. Carl nos llev a los diferentes lugares en su rancho en donde vimos muchas vacas y toros Senepol muy buenos. Carl nos dio un volante con informacin acerca de la gentica que tena a la venta. Carl contest muchas preguntas acerca de sus ofertas de gentica y, por supuesto, se tomaron muchas fotografas. Todos, incluido Carl, nos fuimos a comer a un restaurante lo-cal muy bonito. De ah seguimos nuestro camino para pasar la noche en Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
1/6 Salimos de Tuscaloosa alrededor de las 10 a.m. para visitar el rancho de Earl King, King Farms (Rancho King), en Jackson, Alabama. En el camino se nos uni el hijo de Earl, el Director de SCBA Ronnie King, y nos escolt al ran-cho de su pap. Earl y su nieta ya nos tenan preparada una muy buena comida. Despus de comer visitamos su rancho y vimos los toros y reses que estaba desarrollando. Despus de mucho platicar y tomar fotografas, continuamos hacia Oak Lane Ranch (Rancho Oak Lane), de John DeGroote, en Pascagoula, MS. Llegamos alrededor de las 3 p.m. e inmedia-tamente iniciamos un recorrido del rancho de John. l nos habl acerca de la gentica que tena para ofrecer y contest muchas preguntas. Nos fuimos del rancho de John y conti-nuamos hacia Baton Rouge, llegando justo a tiempo para la reunin de ambientacin ofrecida por el SCBA.
2/6 Asistimos a la convencin nacional de SCBA, en donde escuchamos una muy buena pltica por parte del Dr. Ky Po-hler acerca de la fisiologa reproductiva y la mejora en la ge-ntica. Despus de que habl el Dr. Pohler, James Chenevert y su esposa, Hilde, hablaron acerca de sus instalaciones de re-coleccin de semen y embriones en Baton Rouge. Gran parte de su pltica gir alrededor de lo difcil que es tratar con los gobiernos tanto forneos como de Estados Unidos cuando se busca que autoricen los papeles de salud para exportacin.
3/6 Fuimos a Continental Genetics (Gentica Continental) para recorrer sus instalaciones de recoleccin y ver los toros Senepol de los cuales estn recolectando actualmente. James dijo que actualmente estn trabajando en un sitio web que mostrar el inventario y precios del semen disponible. Cuan-do este sitio est listo, se podr pedir el semen simplemente proporcionando la informacin del cliente y escogiendo el semen que se desee. El Dr. Pohler vol a casa alrededor de las 5 p.m.
4/6 Julio Lainfiesta y Jaime Recinos regresaron a Guatema-la. Wilhelm, Oosthuysen y Danie Niewuwoudt se fueron por aire para visitar a Sebastaio de Aguiar, dueo de Sacramen-
17
lecting. James said they are currently working on a website that will show available semen inventory and price. When this site is done you will be able to order semen just by filling in the customer info and choosing which semen you want. Dr. Pohler flew home at around 5PM.
6/4- Julio Lainfiesta and Jaime Recinos returned to Guate-mala. Wilhelm Oosthuysen and Danie Nieuwoudt continued on by air to visit Sebastaio De Aguiar owner of Sacramento Farms in Okeechobee, FL. Kadu and Carlos Battistella and I drove our rented van back to Knoxville, TN
6/5-6/8 Kadu and Carlos stayed in Tennessee where we re-visited the animals at Millertown Senepols and discussed all the activities of the previous days. Both Battistellas are very excited about the future of their ranch, Senepol 77K, espe-cially about the prospects of the use of the new genetics he saw on this trip.
6/8-6/10 Kadu, Carlos and I flew to Florida to visit Sacra-mento Farms as well. We toured the ranch looking at various groups of cattle. First we looked at some very uniform yearling heifers. Bulls were next. We saw about eight mature herd bulls. Later in the visit Sebastiao had his herd manager bring differ-ent groups of cow/calf pairs into the pens so we could have a close look. There were many good pairs. We were happy to see the uniformity in his herd.
6/11- We left for the airport early to catch our flights home.
Summary
I am confident that this trip created bonds and a mutual trust between breeders. Trust is a huge hurdle when doing business and when the business is international it is more difficult.
These breeders were able to see many different phenotypes in production. This will help them to map out a strategy for their own management system. The genetic offerings were many and diversified. This was something that the South African were pleasantly surprised to find.
There were a few shipments of genetics (semen and embryos) that went to all three of these countries in the first quarter of this year. I am confident that this trip will result in sales in the future.
to Farms (Granjas Sacramento) en Okeechobee, Florida. Kadu, Carlos Battistella y yo manejamos nuestra camioneta rentada de regreso a Knoxville, TN.
5/6 8/6 Kadu y Carlos se quedaron en Tennessee, en don-de volvimos a visitar a los animales en Senepols Millertown y hablamos acerca de las actividades del da anterior. Los dos Battistellas estn muy emocionados acerca del futuro de su rancho, Senepol 77K, especialmente acerca de los prospec-tos de uso de las nuevas genticas que vio durante su viaje.
8/6 10/6 Kadu, Carlos y yo volamos a Florida para visitar tambin Sacramento Farms (Granjas Sacramento). Reco-rrimos el rancho viendo varios grupos de ganado. Primero vi-mos unas novillas jvenes muy uniformes. Despus vimos los toros. Vimos alrededor de ocho toros maduros de la manada. Ms tarde durante la visita Sebastiao pidi a su manejador de la manada que trajera diferentes grupos de pares vaca/bece-rro a los establos para que pudiramos verlos ms de cerca. Haba muchos pares muy buenos. Nos dio mucho gusto ver la uniformidad en su manada.
11/6 Nos fuimos temprano al aeropuerto para tomar nues-tros vuelos a casa.
Resumen
Confo en que este viaje ha creado lazos y una confianza mutua entre los criadores. Los La confianza es un obstculo muy grande cuando se est negociando, y ms an cuando la negociacin es internacional.
Estos criadores pudieron ver muchos fenotipos diferentes en produccin. Esto les ayudar a delinear una estrategia para su propio sistema de manejo. Las ofertas de gentica fueron muchas y muy diversificadas. Esto fue algo que a los sudafri-canos les sorprendi gratamente encontrar.
Hubo algunos embarques de gentica (semen y embriones) que se fueron a cada uno de estos tres pases en el primer tri-mestre de este ao. Confo en que este viaje producir ventas en el futuro.
