Rj Cattle Company

Rj Cattle Company are Shorthorn cattle breeders in Mitchell, SD, in South-central South Dakota near Sioux Falls. They have been raising Shorthorn cattle for several years and follow standards set by the American Shorthorn Association, including routine health testing and genetic screening to support sound breeding decisions. Their cattle graze on open pastures with access to sheltered pens and receive daily handling to foster calm temperaments.

Ryan Johnson and Samantha Johnson emphasize balanced structure and soft dispositions, traits valued in both show herds and family farms. The farm’s focus on pasture-based nutrition and low-stress management shows in steady growth rates and strong maternal instincts among the cows. Their calves receive individual attention in the first weeks to support healthy growth and early social bonds with handlers. Rj Cattle Company’s approach blends tradition with practical husbandry, resulting in well-adapted Shorthorns that perform reliably across diverse settings.
