Welcome to the official site dedicated to celebrating the remarkable achievements of Jim S. Williams, the 379th inductee into the Saddle & Sirloin Portrait Gallery. This award, often regarded as the highest honor in the livestock industry, recognizes leaders who have made significant contributions both in the USA and internationally.

Jim Williams, a sixth-generation rancher and leader of V8 Ranch, has spent a lifetime advancing the livestock industry through innovation, education, and a deep commitment to excellence. From his work in Brahman cattle breeding to his influence on livestock judging worldwide, Jim’s legacy is one of enduring impact.

We have set a goal of raising $100,000 to cover the costs associated with Jim’s portrait and the induction ceremony. This tradition of self-funding is an integral part of the Saddle & Sirloin Portrait Award, and your contributions will not only help preserve this tradition but also support a scholarship endowment in Jim’s name that will benefit future leaders in agriculture.
