Riley Johnson

Riley Johnson breeds Shorthorn cattle in Middletown, MO, and also serves Montgomery County and the St. Louis area. Riley Johnson has been breeding Shorthorn cattle for several years and holds membership in the American Shorthorn Association, ensuring each animal undergoes recommended health screenings. The herd grazes on rotating pastures with access to shelter and fresh water, and animals receive daily handling to develop calm temperaments.

Emphasizing sound structure and maternal traits, the farm’s cattle often attract attention at county fairs and community livestock events. Detailed records outline each animal’s lineage and performance metrics, supporting informed matching of cattle to farm goals. Calves are introduced to routine handling from birth and a gradual weaning schedule, which helps them adapt smoothly to new environments. Owners note clear communication throughout the sale process and appreciate the breeder’s depth of knowledge and straightforward approach.
