Junior EBBA Members

 I have 2 Brahman one is Rosa, a Heifer from the Moreno Ranches. To share about Rosa I like her massiveness in terms of muscle she is very feminine in the way that she is built. I have enjoyed breaking her from a young calf as we have formed a special bond. My second cow is Ava she is a Tyson Ward Cow. She is now bred, but gentle and loving. She definitely has feminine qualities in her length while having depth of body. She is an easy going cow and stands by my side which makes her spectacular in showmanship competitions.  I have been showing Brahman now for close to 2 years. With the experience I have received during this time we are ready to expand into a larger territory for more experience in showing our Brahman. I work really hard to train and condition my cows. Each have exceptional qualities. I am involved in AI and work with our Vet in using the ultra sound. I am very active in my 4H and I am on the 4H Livestock Judging Team. We have been very successful as a Team and went to Nationals in January of this year. I placed 3rd in the State competition for 2024. My end goal once i graduate will be to attend college majoring in animal science as I want to specialize in Embryology. 

I am from Scobey, MS and I have shown different breeds of cattle since I was 8 years old.  I started out showing haired cattle, and now I show both haired cattle and Brahman cattle.  I hope to continue to breed and show both.  I want to continue to show throughout my Junior Show career, and then continue to breed and raise both haired and Brahman Cattle.

My name is Alyssa Busbee. I am from a little town called Marshall, Arkansas. I grew up on a farm outside of Marshall raising Angus. However, I have recently started showing Brahman. I hope though this process I can start my own herd of Red Brahman Cattle. I have been showing in little shows since 2015, and I am currently expanding my future in the showing world.  A short term goal of mine is to become a better showman. A long term goal of mine pursuing a life in raising Brahman show cattle. 

 My name is Emma Bush, I’m from south Louisiana, and I’ve being showing for 9 years. My main projects are breeding gilts, miniature Herefords, and red/grey Brahman.

It all started when I was about 6, I saw Brahman cattle and started researching and looking and finally I got my first Brahman heifer when I was 10 and researched the genetics and it is my base from where I am today.  My goals are to have lots of Brahmans, learn more about the breed and genetics of the cattle and the history of them.

 I'm from Alvin, TX and just starting showing Brahman cattle about a year ago.  I joke that I'm transplanting I-Heart cattle (from North Carolina) to Texas one head at a time, :).  My goal is to raise quality cattle and positively influence our generation.

 I’ve been showing Brahmans since 2020. My favorite Brahman (Holly Ann) is the first one I halter broke by myself and the first Brahman baby to be born on Hollow Oak Farm. I also like to rodeo when I’m not working with the cows. My favorite event is team roping.  My goal is to become more knowledgeable every day about Brahmans, this way I can continue to produce quality cattle in the future on my family farm. 

 I’m Zachery, and my family calls me the “cow whisperer” on our farm because I’m pretty good at calming down all the new halter calves being started. I like going to shows to see all my friends and show my heifer “Rockstar”.  My goal is to do really good at the shows and make lots of new friends!

I'm Kody Stalnaker from Lake Butler, Florida. I have grown up on my family's farm in Lake Butler. We run a small herd of commercial cattle, that's where I got my first steer at age 9. I showed a pig the year before at 8 years old and won Junior showmanship at our local county fair. That's what got me hooked on showmanship. I show Angus, Simmental, and currently have a string of Brahman cattle that we travel all over Florida,Georgia, Mississippi, The Carolinas, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas showing. One of my biggest accomplishments so far was a class win and intermediate division championship at the 2023 Houston Rodeo and livestock show with NC Miss Pickett from Candler Cattle. In my spare time I like to fish, duck and turkey hunt and help my dad working cattle.  I plan to attend ABAC and study Agriculture Education or Agriculture Science.

I am attending Suwannee High School.  I am currently serving as the Suwannee FFA Chapter President and I compete in events such as livestock judging and forestry!  I have shown cattle since 2017 but have only been around the Brahman breed since 2021.  I hope to attend Blinn College in Brenham, Texas and minor in Animal Sciences.  One of my goals is to be a leader that younger youth can look up to.

My name is Little Bruce Van Meter, I live in Armuchee, GA.  I am 8 years old.  My Dad and I raise Polled Red Brahman cattle as well as Simmental, Angus and SimAngus cattle.  We show Brahman cattle all over the country and this is my favorite thing to do.  I love to show at the EBBA Shows and the AJBA All American.  I hope to continue learning and growing in the Brahman business.  I want to some day have my own Brahman operation and continue to show and sell cattle across the country.

 I am from Starke, Fl and have been showing cattle since I was 8. This is my second year showing Brahman and I am really enjoying them. My grandparents started raising Brahman cattle in 1951 so it made sense for me to make the switch. I hope to continue purchasing and showing cattle throughout the years so I can build my herd to produce and sell when I am older.  My goal is to build my brand so that I have my own herd when I graduate high school.
