Dear Cattleman,
Thank you for your interest in our genetics! Since 2017 we have strived to build a Registered Brahman program around the most proven genetics in the breed. As you flip through these pages you will see the effort, time, and expense that has gone into building this herd. Although we started with Grey Brahmans the demand for other genetic lines led us to expand in to Red & Polled cattle resulting in us being a “one stop” for all Brahman needs.
The name, KI Cattle Company, stems from our children-son, Kain, and daughters Iris & Ivie Klair. We are a family owned and operated operation located in the East Texas town of San Augustine. Although we are best known for elite Brahman seedstock, our roots are in the commercial cattle industry where we developed a “real world” approach to functionality & productivity that results in profitability.
We are an honest & trustworthy operation and passionate about what we do. The Brahman breed has so much to offer, and we are excited to see the many things KI Cattle Company will continue to accomplish over the years. Please look through this directory to learn more about our genetics and reach out to us if we can provide any additional information or assist in any way.
Appreciatively,
Jake & Britt Mathews

Mr. V8 460/8 was purchased from V8 Ranch at the 2020 International Brahman Show after winning his class. We were extremely impressed by this bull due to his growth, eye appeal, and muscle.

Not only does 460/8 have a great phenotype and proven pedigree but he ranks in the top 10% of the breed for the essential traits of Growth & Ribeye Area further adding value to him as a sire.

REG #: 927581
DOB: 03/15/2014
Miss SRS Polled Katie (P) is considered to be one of the most proven and popular polled cows in the Brahman breed based on the value of her influential offspring. In 2019 David Lawrence purchased one of the first offspring out of Katie in the National Brahman Sale and she has since produced offspring that have been sold for 10 times her purchase price. We purchased one of Katie’s next daughters, Miss HMC Polled 103/1 (PP), for $30,000 in the 2021 National Sale and then following that she had two daughters bring from $21,000-$37,000 and a son fetch $20,000 for ½ interest. Due to her superior producing ability Katie brought $44,000 in the 2023 Brahmans at the Camellia Sale when we purchased her.
MISS HMC POLLED 103/1 (PP)
We purchased Miss HMC 103/1 (PP) as the high selling lot in the 2021 National Brahman Sale for $30,000. We made this strategic move knowing that we could breed her grey or red and 100% of the calves would be POLLED. This outstanding female has been influential in our program producing a show bull for Azteca Ranch, show heifers for Mackie Simpson & 76 Ranch, and a sale feature in The Brahmans at the Camellia Sale. 103/1 is a daughter of the $44,000 high seller in The Brahmans at the Camellia Sale in 2023, Miss SRS Polled Katie, and by LMC LN Polled Pappo 136/6 who is one of the most proven sires In the breed.

JDH Lady Manso 705/6 is a cow that is on the “favorite” list of everyone who comes to the ranch. We were able to purchase this female from J.D. Hudgins-J. Forgason Division after they used her due to the red-tinge color and their focus on lighter colored cattle. As might be expected we have utilized 705/6 in both our red & grey programs with much success. The sire to 705/6 is the National Champion and global icon +JDH Mr. Elmo Manso while her dam is a daughter of the Vanguard Sire (+)JDH Atlas Manso and a J.D. Hudgins donor who has produced a Maternal Merit daughter. 705/6 is a good producer of embryos and gets bred back each year validating her “bred in” fertility.

The dam to 452/8 earned the coveted status of Maternal Merit Cow due to her superior fertility and performance, which should come as no surprise being sired by the Vanguard Sire and National & International Champion (+)JDH Mr. Woodman Manso. To further add value to Miss Soto she charts moderate for Birth Weight and in the top 20% of the breed for the valuable traits of Growth, Milk, & Marbling making her suitable to be mated to a number of different sires. Miss Soto is one of our most popular cows based on her pedigree, phenotype, and performance profile which has resulted in aspirations and embryos being sold to progressive breeders.

We purchased Miss V8 280/9 in the V8 Ranch “Made for Magic II” Online Sale for $65,500. Although we showed 280/9 her greatest asset has been as a donor with two offspring earning show points. 280/9 is backed by some of the most proven and performance-oriented genetics in the breedbeingsired by +Mr. V8 458/7 “Noble” who has sired more show winners over the past five years than any other sire.
