SAN ANTONIO, TX — The International Brangus Breeders Association (IBBA) has elected Grady Green of El Dorado, Arkansas as its president for the 2025–2026 term. A lifelong cattleman, Green brings extensive experience in both registered and commercial Brangus operations. He currently serves as president of Draggin’ M Ranch, one of the largest registrars of Brangus cattle in the U.S., and is an active member of CDP Brangus, a genetic marketing program comprised of six Brangus breeders.

Green is serving his second term on the IBBA Board of Directors and has held several leadership positions within the IBBA, IBBA’s committees and the Southeast Brangus Breeders Association and Texas Brangus Breeders Association. In 2024, he was honored as the IBBA Breeder of the Year, the organization’s highest recognition.

Raised on the renowned Brinks Brangus and Camp Cooley Ranches, Green developed a passion for the breed early in life. As a high school student, he worked at Camp Cooley Ranch, where he managed up to 1,000 bulls on gain test, assisted with donor cow programs, and oversaw key aspects of ranch operations. This early hands-on experience gave him a deep understanding of cattle breeding, development, and marketing.

Since 2009, Green has served as the general manager of Draggin’ M Ranch, becoming president in 2024. He played a key role in founding CDP Brangus Partners and continues to oversee its programs and annual sales.

A 2009 graduate of the Texas Christian University Ranch Management School, Green lives on the ranch in El Dorado with his wife, Sara, and their two children.

The IBBA, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, was founded in 1949 to promote and advance the Brangus breed. For more information, visit gobrangus.com.
