V8 Ranch — Registered Brahman Cattle, Ranches located in Boling and Hungerford, Texas

	Since 1944, V8 Ranch has been known as “THE” place for elite Brahman females. Whether you are talking National and International Championships, elite donor cows, or replacement heifers…the V8 female is second to none. We were one of the first Brahman ranches in the U.S. to utilize embryo transfer, and we continue to focus on this extensively to build our elite genetic pool and be able to offer these genetics to our clients. The cows featured on this page are some of our most proven and popular bloodlines, and thus, often found on the bottom side of the leading cattle on the ranch. We invite you to study these females online, but we promise that if you take a quick drive through the pasture to see these super cows in person…you’re guaranteed to be impressed.
