Born in Compton, Lower Canada, the eldest son of an Irish Anglican immigrant, James Cochrane, Cochrane was a cattle importer and breeder. He was appointed to the Senate on the advice of John Alexander Macdonald in October 1872 representing the senatorial division of Wellington, Quebec. A Conservative, he served almost 31 years until his death in 1903. His {{convert|1100|acre|km2|adj=on}} ranch in Conpton was one of the most well known in Canada and his annual auctions attracted ranches from all across North America and England.
