ZJ Cattle Co

ZJ Cattle Co raises Hereford cattle in Pintura, UT, Washington County and southwestern Utah near St. George.

The ranch follows industry-recommended health screening protocols advised by the American Hereford Association and performs regular veterinary checks. Herd management includes rotational grazing on well-maintained pastures that encourage natural foraging habits and muscle development. Supplemental feed and clean water are provided year-round, with additional nutrition offered during winter months to support steady growth.

Calves are nurtured with attention to natural behaviors, gaining early exposure to the family’s hands-on approach and gentle handling. Selection prioritizes gentle temperament and hardiness suited to arid landscapes, resulting in cattle that adapt well to open-range environments. Regular evaluations and performance tracking help refine breeding decisions, supporting improvements in growth rates and carcass quality over time. A multigenerational perspective on cattle breeding is reflected in the ranch’s commitment to sustainable practices and ethical stewardship.
