Cole Cattle Co

Cole Cattle Co is a small family-run breeder of Shorthorn cattle in Bonanza, OR, serving Klamath County and the Rogue Valley near Medford. It participates in the national breed registry and follows recommended health screening protocols for fertility, calving ease and genetic conditions in Shorthorn cattle. Owner Robyn Cole oversees breeding decisions and herd health on the ranch.

Their cattle graze on rotational pastures of native grasses and forage crops and are handled with low-stress methods to support growth, well-being and adaptability to local climates. Calves spend their early weeks on fresh pasture, encouraging natural social behavior, maternal bonding and hardiness before moving to sheltered pens for supplemental feeding during colder months. Adequate shelter, clean water and mineral supplementation are provided year-round to ensure balanced nutrition and support robust immune health.

The farm’s open-range layout, built on rolling hills and natural water sources, provides ample space for natural movement, grazing rotation and herd dynamics. Visitors often comment on the calm temperament, sturdy build and consistency of coat color in their livestock.
