• In 1987, Paulo Brito and Ovidio Carlos de Brito purchased 127 females from US cattle breeders who had imported them from Brazil during the early 1980's. By December 1987, the ranch had been purchased and was in production, starting with Brazilian semen.
  
  
• The location of this ranch was carefully chosen because of its climate and nearness to Houston, a major port of entry to the United States and exit to the world.
  
  
• The TEXAS CONNECTION Company currently runs over 500 head of purebred Nelore cows and is using the latest technologies (ie in vitro fertilization, embryo splitting) in its future production. Nelore produced at the Texas TEXAS CONNECTION can now be found in various states in the U.S., in Mexico, Australia, Thailand, Guatemala, Spain, Bolivia, Paraguay, Argentina, and other countries.
  
  
• The TEXAS CONNECTION in Brazil (Grupo OMB) has a solid 50 years of outstanding selection behind it, having bred more than 2 million females with 14 different breed lines. Its 2700 loyal buyers, both in Brazil and around the world, can measure its success.
  
  
• Ovidio Miranda Brito was involved from the beginning in developing the polled variety of Nelore in Brazil. His bull, Caburei, and his cow, Simpatia, both hold registration #1 in the polled register; therefore it is only proper that about 70 percent of the Texas operation's cattle are polled.
