One week we’re basically living on a hockey rink… the next we’re thinking about cranking up the AC. That ice hung around for days and built up thick, but a few 80°+ days finally took care of it. Right now, we’re focused on our bred mamas. The cattle are loving these green pastures, and it shows.
In the next couple of weeks, we’ll be moving them to fresh ground. Stay tuned for pics and videos!
As 2025 draws to a close, we want to start with the most important thing: a huge THANK YOU to every one of our Wagyu customers. Your trust in our cattle and your continued support mean the world to us.
Steve has had his head down all year fine tuning the breeding program. We did a tremendous amount of AI work this season with some outstanding genetics, and we can’t wait to welcome a bumper crop of new Wagyu calves in 2026. The future looks incredibly promising!
In September we headed up to beautiful Coeur d’Alene, Idaho for the AWA National Conference. What a fantastic event. From the latest tools and technology to round-table discussions with some of the sharpest Wagyu minds in the country, every session left us energized and full of new ideas. Sharing stories, challenges, and successes with other producers is always one of the highlights of the year, and it ultimately helps us bring even better beef to your table.
We are truly blessed to have a team Hard work, skill, and dedication are the reason everything runs smoothly day in and day out. We couldn’t do what we love without our great team
As Christmas approaches, we want to wish every one of you a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year. May your holidays be filled with good food, great company, and plenty of peace.
Thank you again for being part of our ranch family. We look forward to serving you in 2026!
Warmest wishes, Steve and Mary
The winter of 2024 was extremely mild. We had a few days of really cold weather, but it was nothing like the previous years.
This year, our hay supply has been so much better than before. During the drought of 2022 and 2023, we struggled with poor-quality, weed-filled hay. However, we changed suppliers, and now the quality is almost as good as horse hay—yay!
Having grandsons help with the hay makes it even more special. Teaching them how to drive a mule has been so much fun—yikes!
Starting 2025 is already shaping up to be a great year. We are seeing a surge in fullblood females and shipping a load to the Midwest and the Southeast to Wagyu breeders.
We’re thrilled to announce that all of our 2024 fall calves have arrived! This year’s lineup includes calves sired by Mayura L0010, Kitaguni Jr., and Sumo Cattle Company’s Shikikan. For inquiries, call 503-803-3988.
As summer winds down, our herd of Wagyu cattle is looking strong and healthy. The long days of grazing in the lush pastures have done wonders for their development. The warm weather has allowed them to put on good weight, while their diet and care have ensured the marbling, characteristic of Wagyu beef, is coming along beautifully.
With fall approaching, we’re preparing for the seasonal shift—ensuring their nutrition remains optimal and planning for cooler weather management. The end of summer marks a successful season for the herd, and the future looks promising for these fullblood cattle.
The horses are still out in the pasture, enjoying the last bit of warm weather before the winter season truly begins. It's always a beautiful sight to see them roaming freely, but soon enough, they'll be moved closer for the colder months. Everything is in place for both the horses and the Wagyu cattle as we prepare for the upcoming season.
