Yes. We've shipped to fourteen states, mostly across the Gulf Coast and into Oklahoma. We can deliver in-state ourselves in our 24-foot gooseneck, and we maintain a short list of insured commercial haulers for longer runs.
Every animal we sell as breeding stock is registered with the American Brahman Breeders Association, with the transfer fee included in the purchase price. Commercial-only animals are clearly marked as such.
Cash, personal check from established buyers, certified check, and wire transfer. We do not accept credit cards for cattle purchases. A 25% deposit holds an animal for 14 days.

Absolutely. We've placed show prospects with junior exhibitors for over a decade, and Lester and Cherie's own kids have shown at the parish and district level. Coaching on halter-breaking, daily care, and ring presentation is included free with every show calf sold.

Yes, in limited quantities each fall. Quarter, half, and whole beef shares are processed by Best Stop Meat Market in Scott, LA, and cut to your specifications. Email us in August to get on the list.
Send an email to support@brahmanbhawan.com with 'mailing list' in the subject line. We send three to four short updates a year — calf crops, sale offerings, and the occasional recipe Cherie won't let us leave out.
