Circle F Brahman
The Brahman breed was created in the early 1900’s out of necessity along the Gulf Coast Region due to its environmental adaptability, insect resistance, longevity, heartiness, and mothering ability. It is calculated that close to 80% of the cattle in the world are Brahman or Brahman-influenced validating their significant contribution to the beef industry.
Circle F Farms currently runs over 700 head of Registered Brahman cows. The foundation of the herd was purchased from J.D. Hudgins, Inc. and V8 Ranch. Today most of the Brahman cows that roam Circle F Farms wear a V8, half circle L, or circle F brand. The top 150 of these cows based on phenotype, pedigree, performance, and production have been selected and bred to Registered Brahman bulls to create offspring that are retained as replacements, sold in the Annual Production Sale, or consigned to other premier auctions. In 2022 Circle F Farms began an invitro-fertilization program where top donors were utilized to multiply superior progeny by some of the most proven & popular sires in the breed. Circle F Farms collects Birth Weights, Weaning Weights, Yearling Weights, and carcass ultrasounds on each animal. This information is utilized internally to make selection decisions, provided in our sale catalog, and reported to the American Brahman Breeders Association to be used in their genetic evaluation.
