Feeder Calf Program

Johnson Livestock began as family feedlot with a small capacity in 1984. It was founded by Ward Johnson and his two sons, Robert and Gary. Over the past 35 years, Johnson Livestock has grown into the large 20,000 head capacity feedlot that it is today. Johnson’s success is based on honest and fair dealings, and treating customers as we like to be treated ourselves. They have prided themselves on building lasting relationships by sourcing our cattle and commodities consistently from many of the same individuals year after year.

Quite possibly one of the most exciting prospects about this partnership is the added value that our Riverbend bull customers will realize. We will be able to give calf health, feedlot performance, and carcass quality back to you. With this data you will be able to make better decisions for profitability on your ranch. We both are striving to help our existing customers as well as new customers capture deserved and substantial premiums by producing high quality third party Verified Natural Cattle. This new venture will allow Riverbend Ranch to enhance their commitment of supporting as well as giving back to loyal customers now and for many years to come.

Riverbend Ranch could not be more excited about the future with and our partnership with Johnson’s feedlot. The feeding expertise that they have is second to none, in the past we have highlighted numerous groups of cattle that Johnsons have fed. These have consistently been some of the best performing cattle we have had on feed.
