The 2019 ABBA National F1 and TBA Brahman Female Sale will be dedicated to long-time ABBA members Henry and Mary Catherine Novak of the J. Henry Novak and Sons ranch in Danbury, Texas.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Novaks were some of the original consignors to the ABBA F1 Sale,\u201d said J.D. \u201cBubba\u201d Sartwelle, Jr. \u201cThey have probably only missed selling in one sale. For the first three years they brought F1 Brahman x Hereford cattle but after that they brought open Brahman heifers too. These shiny heifers would top the sale. If the average was $1500, they would bring $3500-4000.\u201d<\/p>\n

J. Henry Novak and Sons ranch is a family-run, foundation Brahman operation. Henry and Mary Catherine have been married 69 years and have continued the ranching lifestyle of Henry\u2019s parents, A. E. and Carrie Novak started back in 1944.<\/p>\n

According to an article that ran in the 1998 August TBJ issue, Henry\u2019s parents were \u201cDanbury, Texas farmers and ranchers who managed to raise a family and establish a strong ranching and farming operation amid the many ups and downs associated with early Texas agriculture. Along the way they passed their love for their land, cattle and way of life on to son Henry.\u201d<\/p>\n

While farming tended to dominate all the Novak enterprises, their first love was always the cattle. One of Henry\u2019s many memories include a favorite saying of his father\u2019s, \u201cDon\u2019t ever get rid of them cattles, they always make little ones, which always have a value!\u201d<\/p>\n

Henry and Mary Catherine raised their sons, Larry and Terry, as he was raised — with Brahman cattle. Both sons were active junior members.<\/p>\n

In the 1998 article, Henry said that the type of Brahman popular in the show ring is constantly changing, but he never let that influence his breeding program. He went on to say that he had to produce Brahman cattle with meat and lots of bone to be able to sell to the commercial cattlemen in his area. In addition, he sold many cattle internationally.<\/p>\n

Henry served on the ABBA Board of Directors for decades and acted as Director Emeritus for several years as well, while Mary Catherine, was very active in the Ladies of the ABBA and AJBA organizations. Although, the couple has withdrawn from Brahman events some over the last few years due to health issues; they remain beloved friends of the breed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cLos Novaks fueron algunos de los consignatarios originales de la venta de la ABBA F1\u201d, dijo J.D. \u201cBubba\u201d Sartwelle, Jr. \u201cProbablemente, solo se hayan perdido de estar en una subasta. Durante los primeros tres an\u0303os trajeron ganado F1 Brahman x Hereford, pero despue\u0301s de eso tambie\u0301n trajeron novillas Brahman. Estas novillas brillantes encabezari\u0301an la venta. Si el promedio fuera de $1500 USD, traeri\u0301an $3500-4000 USD\u201d.<\/p>\n

El rancho J. Henry Novak & Sons es una operacio\u0301n de Brahman basada en una fundacio\u0301n familiar. Henry y Mary Catherine han estado casados por 69 an\u0303os y han continuado con el estilo de vida que los padres de Henry, A. E. y Carrie Novak comenzaron en 1944.<\/p>\n

De acuerdo con un arti\u0301culo publicado en la edicio\u0301n de agosto de 1998 de TBJ, los padres de Henry eran \u201cGranjeros y rancheros de Danbury, Texas, que lograron criar una familia y establecer una operacio\u0301n de cri\u0301a en granjas y ranchos en medio de los muchos altibajos asociados con la agricultura temprana de Texas. En el camino pasaron su amor por su tierra, su ganado y su forma de vida a su hijo Henry \u201c.<\/p>\n

Mientras que la agricultura tendi\u0301a a dominar todas las empresas Novak, su primer amor siempre fue el ganado. Uno de los muchos recuerdos de Henry incluye un dicho favorito de su padre: \u201cNo te deshagas del ganado, siempre tienen cri\u0301as, \u00a1los cua\u0301les siempre tienen un valor!\u201d<\/p>\n

En el arti\u0301culo de 1998, Henry dijo que el tipo de Brahman popular en la pista de exhibicio\u0301n cambia constantemente, pero nunca dejo\u0301 que eso influyera en su programa de reproduccio\u0301n. Continuo\u0301 diciendo que teni\u0301a que producir ganado Brahman con carne y mucho hueso para poder vender a los ganaderos comerciales en su a\u0301rea. Adema\u0301s de que vendio\u0301 mucho ganado internacionalmente.<\/p>\n

Henry fue miembro de la Junta de Directores de la ABBA durante de\u0301cadas y tambie\u0301n actuo\u0301 como Director Eme\u0301rito durante varios an\u0303os, mientras que Mary Catherine fue muy activa en las organizaciones de Damas de la ABBA y AJBA. Aunque, la pareja se ha retirado de los eventos de Brahman en los u\u0301ltimos an\u0303os debido a problemas de salud; siguen siendo amados amigos de la raza.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
