OVERTON – The American Brahman Breeders Association has named the AgriLife Research Brahman cattle program in Overton as their Breeder of the Year for 2025. According to our news partner KETK, the Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center in Overton has operated a Brahman cattle breeding program since 1974 as a way to improve Brahman cattle through scientific research and testing.
The breeding program’s 200 Brahman herd helps AgriLife researchers collect long-term data on the Brahman breed’s reproduction, temperament, grazing, feed efficiency and carcass merit. The data they collect from the herd is then submitted to the Brahman Herd Improvement Registry, which shares their information with cattle producers and researchers around the nation.
