While mourning the loss of our great patriarch, Sloan Williams, we became even more dedicated to history, anecdotes and more V8 lore than ever before.  It’s important information for our customers and Brahman enthusiasts, and it’s also important to us.  The pedigrees and family trees are impressive in their own right, but we view them with an added dimension because we greeted these cattle in the morning light; walked the ranch with them by day; watched them graze lazily from our front porches in the evening light.  For us, each and every identifying number represents a face, a gait, a memory. Their existence meant something to us.  And the rich, textured history of each cow family is intertwined with the history – and the memories – of our own family. By recording this history, we honor the generations before us who pioneered the lives we are so blessed to live today.

We invite you to explore the rich tradition of Brahman cattle excellence that is V8 Ranch.
