A Family Heritage of Cattle, Land, Faith, and Courage.

Legendary Brahman cattle are a strong part of BRC's heritage, but even more important are the foundations of faith, courage, and integrity. Founded by Brandon and Rachel Cutrer, the BRC team is breaking Brahman stereotypes and reaching unsurpassed Brahman heights.

But, while innovation is a pillar of BRC, so is tradition.

Here's why. A hundred and eighty years ago, Texas was a new frontier. Rachel Cutrer's ancestors survived the war of Texas Independence, returned to their homes - many of which had been burned down by the Mexican army - and started over from scratch. Life as they knew it was completely turned upside down, but they kept pushing forward, and eventually developed the American Brahman breed of cattle. Cattle made for this new frontier of the gulf coast.  Another relative served as Texas Ranger, driving cattle on the Chisolm Trail. Still another farmed thousands of acres of farmland on the Brazos River, building a life for their family and several other sharecroppers on their land. And equally important, many of the Cutrer family ancestors were serving our country as veterans in the U.S. Armed Forces.

These are the traditions and stories we hold dear, as it was our forefathers who lived it. These are the stories we share with our daughters to teach them about how important it is to honor the generations before you who paved the way.

Today's ranchers face frontiers that are different, but no less grand. Success in today's ranching business takes no less sweat, no less courage, and no less faith. But today's frontiers are built through relationships, through science, and through the bigger dream of always asking "Can we make it better?"

Our ancestors well equipped us with the fire to fuel our passion: raising the world's most exceptional Brahman cattle. They taught us it's well worth it to "risk it all" for a dream you believe in and are willing to work hard at every single day of your life. That's why Brandon and Rachel created B.R. Cutrer, Inc. The BRC brand represents the powerful teamwork of Brandon & Rachel Cutrer.

Rachel's 4x great grandmother, Rachel Ann Northington Hudgins, was a pioneer Texas rancher and the matriarch of the J.D. Hudgins Ranch. As a widow during the early days of Texas independence, she was the first woman in Wharton county to register her own cattle brand in 1936. Later, she and her four sons started the cattle ranching operation that would become J.D. Hudgins, Inc., the largest Brahman ranch in the USA and owners of Manso, the most significant Brahman bull in history.

Back in 1924, our ancestors brought a new breed of Indian cattle to Texas from Brazil. These Brahman pioneers cross-bred the Indian cattle – a tropical breed that did well in warm climates – with local cattle. The result? The foundation stock for what we now know as the highest quality Brahman cattle in the world.

Rachel Cutrer was born and raised on a Brahman cattle operation owned by her grandparents Sloan and Mollie Williams. Her grandparents graciously allowed her to be part of that operation from 1979 to 2019, and many of our cattle carry their brand. Throughout her life, Rachel’s cattle have been identified with the "R" shoulder brand. For 40 years, the "R" shoulder brand built a worldwide following and that has carried over to now creating a tremendous demand for the hot new "BRC" hip brand that has become a new icon and status symbol worldwide for excellence in Brahman bloodlines. And now, we are proudly watching and supporting as the "M" and "AC" brands of BRC are achieving greatness in their own regards.
