December 2025

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. 

It’s Been a Busy (and Exciting) Year on the Ranch

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!

American Wagyu Association Annual Conference Coeur d’Alene

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.

None of This Happens Without Great People

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  

From Our Family to Yours

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

Winter 2024/Spring 2025

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.

Babies, babies and babies - Fall 2024

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.

End of 2024 Summer for Our Wagyu Cattle

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.

SPRING INTO SUMMER 2024

Winter of 2023 was very mild and what a blessing. Some days were very cold but as Texas Winter continues on, we had warm air come and go. Our “Victor” was born on one of the coldest Winter days. During our morning feeding we discovered that Victor was born but barely alive. With lots of help from our vet, Victor made it. Gentle and sweet is Victor’s nature and it fun to see him playing and running with the herd.

In Texas for the past five years we have been in a drought. This past March rains started and haven’t stopped as of yet. Our pastures are green with high grass. All our cows are happy and getting really fat.  In our back pasture we put our four bred mommas who are enjoying the lush grass and quiet pastures.   Getting ready for fall babies.
