Double J Ranch

Double J Ranch raises Limousin cattle in Mindenmines, MO, serving Newton County and the Ozarks near Joplin. The Jameses are active members of national beef cattle associations and conduct routine health screenings to support herd vitality.

They manage small family herds on pasture, focusing on gentle handling and early calf socialization to ensure calm temperament. Their structured performance program emphasizes selection for balanced muscling and consistent daily gains. A mix of native Ozark grasses and the region’s temperate climate helps maintain steady growth and forage quality. The farm employs rotational grazing schedules and regular soil testing to sustain pasture health and biodiversity.

Will and Denise James grew up on neighboring farms and apply decades of hands-on experience to every aspect of their operation. Visitors often note the herd’s calm demeanor and well-maintained facilities as reflections of the ranch’s steady care routines.
