Tanner Cochram

Tanner Cochram is a Hereford cattle breeder in Oxford, IA, Johnson County and the Iowa City area near Cedar Rapids. Tanner Cochram holds membership in the American Hereford Association and conducts routine health screenings on all breeding stock. Calves are raised on rotational-grazing pastures with access to shelter, and early handling helps develop calm, social animals.

The ranching operation traces back three generations, reflecting a deep connection to the land and livestock. Visitors often note the even temperament of the cattle and the breeder’s openness in sharing animal care practices. Management focuses on balanced nutrition, pasture improvement and stress-free weaning to promote long-term herd vitality and adaptability to local climates. A dedicated calving barn and on-site feed mill support consistent care through each growth stage in all seasons. Seasonal pasture rotation and a low-stress handling system help maintain animal welfare year-round.
