Cos Shorthorn

Cos Shorthorn is a Shorthorn cattle breeder in Stratford, TX, serving Sherman County in the Texas Panhandle near Amarillo. James Leach has raised registered Shorthorn cattle for over ten years, focusing on strong bloodlines and routine health testing.

Each calf is raised on open pastures with daily handling to encourage a calm temperament, and the herd benefits from rotational grazing and balanced nutrition. The operation blends traditional ranching methods with modern care, reflecting Leach’s family heritage in West Texas agriculture. Tours of the pastures are available by appointment, offering insight into animal temperament and farm operations.

Leach offers guidance on feeding and herd management to ensure a smooth transition for new owners. Health records accompany each animal, and all breeding stock undergoes fertility and disease screening. The farm’s location near the Oklahoma border offers varied pastureland that supports year-round grazing.
