This week on Over the Hump, Rachel talks with Cyler Frost of Frost Farms about building a Brahman herd with patience and purpose.Cyler shares how a champion loaner heifer sparked his move into registered cattle, starting with one bull and three cows while focusing on data, udder quality, and long-term consistency. They also discuss his impact as an ag teacher and FFA coach, his junior heifer lease program, lessons in marketing cattle, and why real progress in a breeding program takes about a decade.00:00 Welcome to Over the Hump: Brahmans, faith & the 10-year long game02:18 Meet Cyler Frost: 7th-gen ranch roots & finding Brahmans07:09 First registered cattle: Fort Worth win & scholarship momentum10:06 Fort Worth Stock Show stories: the tunnel, the ring & show-day nerves13:56 The foundation bull: Janessa genetics, heifer ratios & udder fixes21:31 Day job spotlight: becoming an ag teacher & building champions29:09 Inside Longview FFA: massive chapter growth, programs & classes taught32:41 Family time, emotional intelligence & a thesis that sparks laughs35:01 Emotional Intelligence in Ag: Tests, Hiring, and Leadership Ideas37:40 Starting a Registered Brahman Herd: Early Buys, Hard Lessons, and Drought Reality40:17 Genetics & Mentors: Research, Ranch Visits, and Doing Business with Integrity43:21 Building for Juniors: The Loaner/Lease Program and Giving Kids a Return53:34 Show Circuit Talk: Favorite Shows, Winning Stories, and What’s Next58:17 All-Time Favorite Brahman Animals: Janessa, Elmo, and “Wicked”01:01:16 Photos vs Reality + AI in Breeding: Visuals, Authenticity, and Future Tools01:05:43 Where to Find Frost Farms: Contact Info and Final Sign-OffFollow along at https://brcutrer.com/category/over-the-hump-brahman-podcast/ and on Facebook at BRC Ranch!Bull Semen Ad:Music by https://www.free-stock-music.com
