In 1944, Howard Parker from Center, Texas founded V8 Ranch. Named after the Ford Engine, Mr. Parker began raising an elite herd of Brahman cattle and branded them with a V8 on their left hip.
In 1971, rodeo producer Sloan Williams sold his stock contracting business and purchased the V8 branded Brahman cattle, and moved them to his ranch in Wharton County, where they've lived ever since.
To this day, V8 Ranch is owned and operated by the Williams family in Hungerford and Boling, Texas, along the Gulf Coast, marketing over 18,000 registered Brahman cattle over the course of their lifetime, as well as maintaining a large herd of crossbred commercial cattle and ranch horses.
Hear from some of the members of the V8 Ranch family (Jim Williams, Jan Williams Powell, Catherine Williams Neumayr, and Luke Neumayr) as they tell the story of the ranch and pay tribute to the earlier generations.
