Richardson Shorthorns

Richardson Shorthorns specializes in registered Shorthorn cattle in Foss, Oklahoma, serving Washita County and the central Oklahoma region near Oklahoma City. With over three decades of experience, they maintain memberships in the American Shorthorn Association and follow recommended health testing for genetic and herd wellness. Their approach emphasizes grass-based grazing and early socialization, ensuring cattle thrive in spacious pastures on the family farm. Deep-rooted grasses support drought resilience and steady weight gains.

The herd benefits from rotational grazing and regular veterinary care, and calves are handled gently to foster calm temperaments. They use ultrasound scanning and deliberate sire selection to enhance feed efficiency. The ranch’s roots trace back to the 1980s, and today John E Richardson continues a tradition of sound husbandry and open farm visits. Several of their cows and bulls have earned regional recognition for conformation and maternal traits, reflecting steady breeding goals.
