A family heritage of cattle, land, faith, and courage.

Founded in 2019 by Brandon and Rachel Cutrer, BRC serves customers in over 20 countries across 6 continents.

From partner sales to educational events and marketing support, we’re the only Brahman ranch in the world who works with you directly to ensure you achieve the highest returns on your investment.
The Origins of BRC
Since the beginning of the Texas frontier, Brahman cattle ranching has been deeply embedded in our family history. Our ancestors introduced a new breed of Indian cattle to Texas in 1924, laying the foundation for what we recognize today as the highest quality Brahman cattle in the world.
It all started in 1936 with Rachel Cutrer’s great-great-great-great grandmother, Rachel Ann Northington Hudgins. A pioneer, Rachel Ann became the first woman in Wharton County to own her own cattle brand and, together with her four sons, she founded J.D. Hudgins, Inc. — the largest Brahman ranch in the USA at the time.
Fast forward to today and Brandon and Rachel Cutrer’s BRC brand has become an iconic global symbol of Brahman bloodline excellence. Upholding the family legacy by combining tradition with modern expertise, B.R. Cutrer is opening new frontiers for the future of the Brahman breed.
BRC: Where Legacy Meets Modernity
BRC: A New Generation
Committed to honoring those who came before us by continuing to elevate the breed, we’ve devoted our lives to raising the world’s most exceptional Brahman cattle. We believe that the key to improving industry standards is to build loyal relationships, leverage science, and constantly innovate.
Today’s challenges are quite different from those of our ancestors, yet they still require faith, courage, hard work, and passionate persistence — qualities innate to the BRC team.
We work tirelessly for our vision of the future: a vision of excellence, in which our cattle receive the very best care and our clientele enjoy the best value for their investment.
We would like to welcome you to the B.R. Cutrer family. Please contact us for personal assistance with a family touch.
Our Philopshy
We believe that excellence isn’t achieved alone but rather is built through the collaborative effort of a talented team.
Through our expertise and passion, the B.R. Cutrer family is devoted to serving our valued clientele.
For us, cattle ranching is the best job in the world. Working on the land we love with the cattle we love to create a better future for the next generation is one of life’s sweetest pleasures. We look forward to helping you do the same.

-"The Blessing" Elevation Worship
While the BRC brand is known for innovation, our traditional values and rich heritage remain at the core of everything we do. We pay tribute to the seven generations of Brahman ranchers who came before us. Visionaries of their time, these brave men and women worked tirelessly and took risks to build a better life for our family. They paved the way for excellence, inspired us, mentored us, and instilled in us that the most important resources of all are the people who devote their lives to the cattle.
