people The Common Thread to Editor's note: During the Florida Brahman Association feld day held last April at Rocking S Ranch some of the showmen from the past were recognized. Marcus Shackelford wrote this article to share some of the GREATNESS history of one of these great showmen and to show the manner in which so many Brahman breeder's are connected together. We hope you enjoy by Marcus Shackelford this story as much as we did. Leonard Godwin, who was manager of Clyde Keys’ Brahman operation, was one of the showmen recognized at our feld day. Clyde Keys owned a cement factory in St. Petersburg, Florida and had started a Brahman operation in the outlying areas of the county. Leonard was managing the L. S. Harris Brahman ranch in the early 1950's when Clyde went to the ranch to purchase cattle. L. S. Harris had the Fryatt bull which was a top bull that was producing good cattle. Clyde asked Leonard if he wanted to work for him and ofered to double his salary to $80.00 a week. When L. S. would not meet the ofer, Leonard moved to the Keys’ ranch and started his program. Clyde Keys was looking to purchase more cattle and Leonard told him about the herd of Dr. Cary Carlton, a veterinarian and Marshall Johnson's ABBA Membership Certificate. Marshall's larger commercial breeder in Desoto County. Dr. Carlton had bought Membership number was Number 50. 48 cows and a bull from Marshall Johnson in Texas several years before and had done really well with them. Dr. Carlton had given Mr. Parker’s V8 herd was known for its outstanding $17,000 for the 48 cows and a bull and paid them of in a couple of females which started with the Marshall Johnson cows. years, selling many of the calves out of the country. He sold them Since Mr. Parker didn’t know that much about cattle when for $17,250. he selected them, he would have the cows separated from the calves. He would then select the 40 fattest calves as the ones he This photo was taken wanted and would then have them matched to their mothers. of Leonard Godwin A unique selection process but is seemed to work, as Sloan with his one-month- Williams later bought the V8 cows and the rest is history! old son, Wayne, on July 21, 1955. Leonard was To continue my story about Leonard, he took the Marshall the manager for L.S. Johnson bred cattle of Dr. Carlton back to the Keys ranch Harris, president of and started their program. Te Johnson cattle were big cattle the ABBA 1958-1960, and he bred them to JTG Resoto Manso, Jr. 134, a smooth and then managed the muscular bull. JTG Resoto Manso was a bull that Keys had Clyde Keys' Brahman purchased from a large vegetable grower in South Florida. herd. Keys had originally gone to Jack Garrett, who was breeding Resoto Manso cattle with great success, to buy a When I heard Marshall Johnson’s name this really peaked my top bull. When he explained what he was looking for Jack interest because I remembered Sloan Williams had told me that told him he should have stayed in Florida, because one of Howard Parker of V8 Ranch had bought the main part of his herd the best calves he ever raised he had recently sold to a man from Marshall Johnson. in Florida.

V8 Ranch crossed the Johnson cattle on a Rex A Manso 1/5 son out on an Emperor daughter, V8 470/6, to produce cattle second-to-none and Keys used the Resoto Manso, Jr. 134 crossed on Johnson females with the same kind of results. Johnson didn’t have any children and chose to give back to the community by giving the community hospitals. At one time he built hospitals in Wharton, Edna and El Campo. Marshall even had a 55,000 acre ranch in Florida that he gave to M.D. Anderson Cancer Hospital. While Marshall Johnson never showed a National Champion bull or cow, he sure helped Clyde J. Keys and V8 Ranch with his breeding to help them produce their future National Champions. Consequently, one can say that Marshall Johnson's cattle were a common thread to greatness in the Brahman breed. 14 | The Brahman Journal
