James Johnson

James Johnson is a Shorthorn cattle breeder in Laurel, MT, serving Yellowstone County and the Yellowstone Valley near Billings. With more than a decade of experience and membership in the American Shorthorn Association, James Johnson conducts quarterly health screenings for genetic disorders such as bovine viral diarrhea and Johne’s disease, and performs regular genetic evaluations on each calf.

Johnson’s cattle graze on open pastures, enjoying a natural, nutrient-rich diet while being handled with low-stress methods from birth through adulthood. Breeding selections aim to preserve the breed’s distinctive red color and muscular build while ensuring adaptability to changing climates. The family-managed farm's history spans three generations and includes documented, consistent success in national livestock shows.

Prospective buyers often note transparency in farm visits and appreciate detailed care records. Calves raised under this consistent regimen develop solid temperaments and robust, long-term health profiles.
