J And J Ranch

J And J Ranch specializes in miniature Hereford cattle and is based in Pittsford, MI in southeast Michigan near Detroit. James Sterling has more than 10 years of experience breeding miniature Hereford cattle and upholds registrations with the American Hereford Association.

The ranch participates in comprehensive health programs, follows recommended genetic screening protocols, and schedules routine veterinary evaluations for every herd member. Calves spend their early months on rotating grasslands, receive daily gentle handling and are gradually introduced to barn routines to foster steady, friendly temperaments. Careful attention to pasture management, forage variety and low-stress handling reflects a care philosophy grounded in animal welfare and ecological balance.

A renovated post-and-beam barn provides covered shelter and space for quiet group socialization during colder months. The operation’s roots on family land add a legacy of thoughtful stewardship and sustainable practices passed down through generations. Visitors and neighboring farmers often comment on the herd’s calm demeanor, robust health and consistent growth rates.
