4J Ranch

4J Ranch’s Brahman cattle in Alleyton, Texas, Wharton County and the Gulf Coast near Houston are bred and raised with attention to heritage traits. It follows guidelines set by national cattle associations and ensures breeding stock undergoes routine health screenings and genetic evaluations.

The herd grazes on open-range pasture with rotational grazing practices and low-stress handling, supporting natural behaviors and sturdy bone development. Calves receive early socialization through daily herd checks and gentle acclimation to handling, fostering steady temperaments for diverse farming operations. Several animals have participated in regional performance tests for heat tolerance and feed efficiency, reflecting the ranch’s focus on resilient genetics. Operated by a family with deep ties to south-central Texas ranching traditions, it balances practical experience with veterinary oversight for long-term herd vitality.

Regular veterinary partnerships ensure vaccination schedules and mineral supplementation align with seasonal needs. Pasture rotation supports soil health and promotes balanced nutrition across changing seasons.
