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

	The V8 Ranch bull battery includes some of the world’s most recognized and demanded sire bloodlines, including numerous national and international champion bulls. V8 Ranch had the honor of breeding 3 back-to-back International Champion Bulls in the 2000s. Brahman pedigree historians worldwide will tell you the impact that bulls carrying the “Mr. V8” prefix have had on the Brahman breed. The bulls featured here include our internationally-popular AI sires as well as natural service sires used on the ranch. We continue to use a blend of the most popular modern genetics combined with outcross sire lines and occasional historic sire lines to build the maximum genetic potential in our calf crop. If you would like to purchase semen on any of the V8 sires, please e-mail Luann Williams and she will be happy to assist you on your purchase. Many of these bulls have also been selected by other breeders in “breeding up” programs for Brangus, Simbrah, and other Brahman-influenced breeds. Volume discounts and commercial discounts are available. For our South African customers please contact Olga and Henk Van de Laarse with your semen orders.
