Brahmans are tough, and American breeders are experimenting with genetic crosses to make them even tougher. They've had a major influence on our cattle. There were Brahmans at the Houston show this year, the largest breed category out of 4, total cattle.

During Brahman shows and sales, stands are filled with ranchers sporting International Committee badges that note their nationalities. In the sawdusty rows of tethered bulls and heifers, breeders lure buyers in with living-room-like stage sets complete with foliage, comfortable ranch furniture, and in one case, a frozen daiquiri machine. The biggest Brahman breeder in Texas, J. Hudgins, has a map on the wall with pushpins in every town where it's sent cattle or their genetic material.

They're clustered in central and south America but extend to South Africa, southeast Asia and Australia. After visiting the rodeo, buyers will often come by Hudgins' ranch, where live animal sales take place - and take care of other errands as well while they're in the city.

Rachel Cutrer, owner of V8 Brahmans in Boling, said international buyers account for 30 percent of her sales overall, and 99 percent of sales at the Houston show. The International Committee, she said, is a big reason for that. There is no other show like Houston that has the international presence. A lot of other shows are trying to get that market, and I think it's because of the volunteers and the hospitality that they have here.
