Welcome

Four J Cattle is a family-run purebred Santa Gertrudis and Santa Gertrudis cross operation. Santa Gertrudis cattle have been part of our family operations since the 1950’s and continue to work for us as we strive to produce top quality cattle. Currently, we operate on approximately 5,000 acres of pastureland in 5 counties and run 700+ momma cows.

Santa Gertrudis genetics keep the Four J program focused on keeping maternal abilities and heat tolerance on the forefront while improving carcass traits desired by profit-minded producers - be they seedstock or commercial. Our purebred cattle are located primarily at our south-central Texas counties, while our central Texas locations support our American Reds and Santa Gertrudis crosses.

We believe in our program and follow each calf crop all the way to the rail through retained ownership. Except for animals kept for replacement or sale consignment, the bulk of the calves are fed out in a Panhandle feedyard. Knowing that the beef industry’s ultimate customer is the consumer, we continue to look for new ways to access our carcass information and to reap the benefit of our investment in feeders 

John Justiss runs the daily operations as manager. He welcomes any inquiries. Call John for directions if you plan to visit any of the ranches.
