Barzona Bulletin Winter 2024
By Alecia Heinz, Golden Hz Farms, BBAA Secretary From Our Association Secretary W inter is well on its way, although it seems to have been warmer than usual in most places. (The days after I started this article, we had almost 20 inch es of snow and below-zero temps for a week!) The feed efficiency testing has started in Hereford, Texas, and we are all excited to see how the first batch of results will end up. Keep in mind, there are more test dates throughout the year, but you have to reserve your spots! Those pens are limited in quantity and size, so it’s imperative we have your reservation. Bull- buying season has just begun, so don’t forget to shop around! The Barzona Breeders Association is striving to gather data and DNA samples to build the Barzona data base and increase the accuracy of that data. This will help buyers of all kinds choose bulls and females that are going to work on each farm or ranch, regardless of management styles! Also, if you haven’t followed our Facebook page, facebook.com/ BarzonaBreeders/ , please do so. We have started making reels featuring our breeders, and they are so much fun! BB
