It’s Stall Party Time at V8!

This tradition has become one of our favorite parts of Brahman Week! We invite you to join our family at the V8 Ranch stalls for fellowship, hors d’oeuvres, and of course, limited, once-per-year semen specials on our impact- making V8 sires.

For those of you who want to join the party virtually, we’ll be hosting the stall specials online, in real time, during the event. Shout out to technology for taking our stall social global.

Mr. V8 332/8

“Ironside”

+Mr. V8 368/9

“Magic Man”

2026 Bull of the Year

Sire: +Mr. V8 380/6
Dam: Miss V8 89/9
From the V8 Ranch Cow Family: Miss V8 906/2

Mr. V8 368/9 “Magic Man” has quickly become a notable figure in the Brahman community.  His story began with a viral cell phone video that quickly spread across Facebook and Instagram, leading to his crowd-sourced name being chosen by fans—a clear reflection of his widespread appeal. Drawing visitors from nations all over: Australia, France, Colombia, Brazil, and Pakistan, Magic Man’s allure is undeniable. Kept under the radar until he was almost a year old and developed discreetly at the ranch to maintain a focus on genuine quality over social media fanfare, his debut was nothing short of remarkable. He is sired by +Mr. V8 380/6 “The Machine,” the #1 Bull in the ABBA Register of Renown, who perhaps surprised us all by siring his absolute best after 16 years of worldwide use. Magic Man boasts a unique dark steel gray pigment and a friendly, gentle nature—attributes the Brahman world increasingly seeks. His phenotype epitomizes the timeless ideals for the Brahman breed: beefiness, impeccable structure, and a focus on breed character. He’s heavy-boned, three-dimensional, clean-sheathed, and exhibits the V8 eye appeal and style. All these qualities have positioned him as a consensus choice in a world that is often divided. His arrival feels like the culmination of V8 Ranch’s 80-year journey—a pivotal moment marking a new chapter.

Mr. V8 451/9

“HullaBULLoo”

Sire: +Mr. V8 146/8 “Sloan”
Dam: Miss V8 411/8

Without question, the most exciting V8 show bull of the past two years has been Mr. V8 451/9 “HullaBULLoo.” From his very first trip to Houston to his recent string of Grand Championships, he has been a dominant force on the tanbark and now heads into his final stretch at Houston 2026.

He was named the 2024 Reserve National Champion Bull and the 2024 World Brahman Congress Reserve Grand Champion.

Our partners at Walters Livestock shared the numbers behind the banners. Hully has been shown 30 times. In 28 of those appearances, he was either Division Champion (21 times) or Reserve Division Champion (7 times). He has claimed 13 Grand Championships and 5 Reserve Grand Championships. That level of consistency is rare.

With Pathfinder’s untimely death and his semen permanently off the market, we look to HullaBULLoo as the leading son of Sloan in terms of long-term sire potential that people have the opportunity to invest in. A little darker pigmentation than Sloan, a little heavier boned, a little tighter sheathed – but all the muscle and style that is expected today.

We trust his cow family without hesitation. His maternal granddam is the legendary +Miss V8 410/6, a female many regarded as the ideal Brahman cow.

It has been a privilege to be on Team HullaBULLoo. Now comes the next chapter. See him in person during the Stall Party.

MR. V8 326/9 (P)

“THE GENERAL”

Sire: Mr. V8 179/8
Dam: Miss V8 853/8
From the V8 Ranch Cow Family: +Miss Priss

‘The General’ represents the next generation of V8 Ranch’s polled program—an elite V8 Superblend™ that bridges the foundational strength of the +Miss Priss cow family with the performance-driven genetics of Miss V8 906/2, one of the most maternally influential lines in the herd. His sire, Mr. V8 179/8 “Big Mack,” adds power and structure, while his maternal grandsire, SUGARLANDS ESTO 225 (P) 730/7, contributes a rare dose of historic Sugarlands blood—a line nearly lost to time but preserved through strategic investment by V8 Ranch. With his natural thickness, clean sheath, and smooth shoulder set, ‘The General’ exemplifies the V8 look, but in polled form. He is already serving naturally in the V8 herd and will make his semen debut at Houston 2026. As demand grows for polled genetics without compromise, ‘The General’ stands as proof that tradition and innovation can coexist—flawlessly.
