After the meeting the directors, members and their families enjoyed a lively lunch provided by ARBA at Salt Grass Steak House.

It was a wonderful time for members and their families to socialize and share their love for the Red Brangus cattle.

A tour of the Genetic Development Center in Navasota, Texas, followed lunch. Directors, members and their families were given a tour of the facilities by General Manager Ryan Doerner.
