    R.A. “ROB” BROWN JR. R.A. BROWN RANCH THROCKMORTON, TEXAS 1 Selection Committee Saddle and Sirloin Portrait P.O. Box 36397 c/o Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center Louisville, KY 40209 Dear Selection Committee, On behalf of the American Quarter Horse Association, American Simmental Association, Red Angus Association of America, Senepol Cattle Breeders Association, and the nominating committee, please accept the nomination of R.A. “Rob” Brown Jr. for the prestigious Saddle & Sirloin Portrait Award. Enclosed you will find his resume, biography and letters of support. Rob Brown built one of the substantial ranches in the country that encompassed a Quarter Horse band, seedstock herds of various cattle breeds, commercial cow-calf herd, stocker operation, cattle feeding, and farming. His livestock have made a significant impact on the world’s genetics, and he provided the leadership for one of this country’s most successful coordinated marketing programs in Ranchers Renaissance. His leadership in various local, state, university, and national industry organizations is breathtaking. He has given his time freely, and his efforts have made a profound positive impact on the industry. Few if anyone has had the breath of leadership in the industry as his resume, biography and letters of recommendation will attest. Rob has lived by the motto of “be progressive but practical, and embrace science but respect tradition.” Not only has he had a lasting impact on the industry living by this motto, he has also instilled these values into his highly successful family, which will assure Brown family leadership for years to come. Sincerely, Tom Brink, Red Angus Association of America; Dr.
