4J Cattle Company

4J Cattle Company is breeding Scottish Highland cattle in Paradise, TX, in North Texas near Fort Worth. Owner Cody Johnson brings years of livestock experience to the herd and maintains affiliations with national cattle associations. All animals undergo routine veterinary exams and genetic screening to support rigorous long-term health and vigor. Cody selects for heritage traits like well-set horns and dense coats, and monitors each calf’s growth and structural soundness from birth through weaning.

The herd grazes on well-managed pastureland and rotates through open fields to encourage natural foraging and strong hoof development. Calves spend their first months alongside their mothers and are introduced to daily handling to foster calm temperaments.

Cody’s family-run operation emphasizes sustainable practices, blending traditional ranching with modern welfare standards. Visitors often note the cattle’s glossy coats and relaxed demeanor as a testament to attentive management.
