About Us |
Billy Dan and Suzanne
Lindley purchased their first three Registered Brahman heifers
from E. T. Sparks. From the beginning heifers had to be gentle,
big, growthy, and correct to be selected. This first purchase
plus additional purchases from Jim Tarrent then J. T. White were
the beginnings of LINDLEY BRAHMANS.
LINDLEY BRAHMANS' goal has always been to breed quality Gray
Brahman cattle. All cattle are selected for beefiness and
gentleness. With the purchase of J. T. White bulls most of the
foundation females carry a predominately JT WHITE pedigree. This
outstanding bloodline is being bred to the best bulls available
today.
The BRAND on cattle
the true cattleman is striving toward.

LINDLEY BRAHMANS are known for their gentle dispositions. "Gentlest in East Texas" has been the ranch motto for the last thirty-five years.
We are not sure if niece Meredith McManus is helping feed the heifer, being "eaten" by the heifer, or having a lot of fun playing. (It's hard to believe Meredith is now 10 years old.Billy Dan
Billy Dan started his "affair" with Brahman cattle in high school. This love of the breed has continued for over 45 years. You can honestly say he has studied the breed every day since he first decided this would be his vocation. He goes to bed, then wakes up, with Brahman cattle on his mind.In March of 2007 Billy Dan was elected Vice-President of ABBA. Billy Dan has been a member of the ABBA Board of Directors since 1993 and serves on the Executive Committee. He has been chairman of both the Membership Committee and the Youth Committee. He is a past President of the Texas Brahman Association.

We have been honored to have our brand, BL, on the stair wall of the Kleberg building on the campus of Texas A & M. since 1979.
Hopkins County was one of the first counties to participate in the brandings after the building was opened.
"Lindleys" have been involved in agriculture and ranching in Hopkins County since the 1830.
March 2006
Billy Dan was presented the Texas Cooperative Extension - Hopkins County Beef Producer of the Year award during the Annual Extension Leadership/Volunteer Banquet.

Daughters Sara
Lindley Allen and Susan Lindley Perkins share their parents'
interest in Brahman cattle. Starting as members of the Texas
Junior Brahman Association and charter members of the American
Junior Brahman Association you might say these two young women
have spent a lifetime with Brahman cattle. Its hard to realize
they have been active ABBA members for over 15 years.
Some of the best cows at LINDLEY BRAHMANS carry the circle S or
the -S- shoulder brands. All of these cattle started as daughters and
granddaughters of the outstanding show cattle Sara and Susan
accumulated.
Suzanne
