B.R. Cutrer, Inc.


Honoring a 150+ year family heritage built on the pillars of faith, courage, and integrity, B.R. Cutrer is redefining the future of legendary Brahman cattle, to set new international standards in quality, pedigree, and performance.

Founded by Brandon and Rachel Cutrer, the B.R. Cutrer Ranch is home to the renowned BRC brand and has gained global recognition for embracing innovation and modernity, while upholding the values of cattle ranching tradition.

It all began one hundred and eighty years ago… 
Texas was a new frontier and, while Rachel Cutrer’s ancestors had survived the war of Texas Independence, life as they knew it would never be the same again. They returned home only to find that many of their dwellings had been burned down by the Mexican army. Driven by courage and perseverance, they started over again and eventually went on to develop the American Brahman breed of cattle that we know and love today.

Since the great Texas frontier, cattle ranching has been the lifeblood of the family—one relative served as a Texas Ranger, driving cattle along the Chisholm Trail; another farmed thousands of acres along the Brazos River, building a life for his family and several other sharecroppers on his family’s land. And, equally important, many of the Cutrer family ancestors served our country as veterans in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Most significantly, Rachel’s ancestors introduced a new breed of Indian cattle to Texas in 1924. This tropical breed was originally found in Brazil and did well in warm climates. The pioneers began to cross-breed the Indian cattle with local cattle and this was the foundation for what we know today as the highest quality Brahman cattle in the world.

In 1936, Rachel’s fourth generation great grandmother, Rachel Ann Northington Hudgins, who was a pioneer Texas rancher, became the first woman in Wharton county to register her own cattle brand. Together with her four sons, she founded the cattle ranching operation that became known as J.D. Hudgins, Inc.—the largest Brahman ranch in the USA and the proud owners of Manso, who remains the most significant Brahman bull in history.

Rachel Cutrer herself was born and raised on a Brahman cattle operation owned by her grandparents, Sloan and Mollie Williams. They graciously allowed Rachel to be an integral part of that operation from 1979 to 2019 and today many BRC cattle still carry their legacy 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, which has since created tremendous demand for B.R. Cutrer’s innovative new "BRC" brand. BRC has become an icon and a global status symbol of Brahman bloodline excellence.

Committed to honoring those who came before us by continuing to elevate the Brahman breed, our B.R. Cutrer team works tirelessly to elevate Brahman industry standards.

Faced with frontiers quite different from those of our ancestors, but nonetheless pertinent and still requiring faith, courage, hard work, and passionate persistence, we devote our lives to raising the world’s most exceptional Brahman cattle.

We believe that today’s frontiers are achieved by building loyal relationships, by leveraging science, and by constantly innovating.

The stories and traditions of our forefathers, who paved the way for the Brahman operation we run today, inspire us to continue to pursue our vision for the future—a vision of excellence, in which our cattle receive the very best care and, in turn, our clientele enjoy the best value for their investment.
