Aj Show Cattle

Aj Show Cattle, shorthorn cattle, Wildorado, TX, in the Texas Panhandle near Amarillo, has sound breeding practices.

The family-run operation ensures all breeding stock undergoes genetic health screening, including tests for foot rot, bovine leukocyte adhesion deficiency, and other traits. Herds are managed with rotational grazing practices across native grass pastures, and calves benefit from daily handling to encourage calm temperaments before weaning in roomy pens fitted with sheltered areas. Feed rations are formulated in partnership with a livestock nutritionist to support steady weight gain and hoof health, and natural calving protocols allow cows to calve with minimal intervention.

Over the years, Aj Show Cattle’s shorthorn teams have brought home multiple regional show awards for conformation and maternal strength, demonstrating consistent quality in every generation. The farm’s vintage barn, preserved as part of its agricultural heritage, hosts educational tours that highlight breeding techniques and animal welfare practices. Local visitors note the transparent record-keeping and the owners’ willingness to share insights, reflecting a genuine dedication to responsible stewardship.
