On this episode of Over the Hump podcast, Brandon and Rachel reflect on a dinner with two new Brahman breeders and discuss how to enter the Brahman cattle business today versus when they started in 2010–2011 amid record cattle prices and higher interest rates. They recount building their operation from zero land and a few cows, using leased land, financing cattle deals, and guidance from Sloan Williams, starting with commercial cattle for cash flow and equity before reinvesting into registered Brahman, with each deal funding the next. They emphasize tracking assets and liabilities, avoiding simultaneous land and cattle loans when possible, and planning for loan interest payments. They compare strategies (all F1, all registered, mixed), heifers versus bred cows, and embryos versus live cattle, stressing research, reputation, cash-flow timing, and resisting sale-atmosphere impulse purchases.
