J & A Ranch

J & A Ranch, cattle, Tennyson, TX, is a family-run operation in Crosby County and West Texas near San Angelo. Owners John Patton and Annette Patton have been raising and breeding cattle for over two decades, maintaining registrations with industry associations and following recommended health testing protocols. Calves roam on native grass pastures and receive daily hands-on care to foster calm dispositions and robust growth. All phases of herd management, from calving to weaning, happen on site in a setup designed for natural comfort.

Customers note the consistent temperament and sound structure of the cattle, reflecting the ranch’s long tradition of attentive care and sustainable grazing methods. Their participation in county livestock shows over the years has helped shape a herd that balances sound feet and legs with gentle dispositions. Livestock are raised without routine antibiotics, and trace minerals are chosen to complement the nutrient profile of local pastures. This careful approach supports soil health and promotes long-term well-being in both animals and land.
