4J Ranch

4J Ranch raises miniature Hereford cattle in Victoria, TX, in the Coastal Bend near Corpus Christi. Scott Johnson has over a decade of experience in registered cattle breeding and maintains membership in the American Hereford Association, with annual herd health screenings and genetic testing.

The herd grazes on rotated pastures beneath live oak and coastal prairie, and calves are born and socialized alongside family life on the ranch. Animals receive routine veterinary care, balanced nutrition, and access to shade and fresh water year-round. Breeding stock is chosen for temperament, structural soundness and longevity.

Guests often note the gentle disposition of the cattle and the thoughtful layout of paddocks designed for natural behaviors. The ranch’s emphasis on low-stress handling and soil health supports resilient animals and sustainable land stewardship. 4J Ranch’s approach draws on practical knowledge passed down through generations and a steady dedication to animal welfare.
