Planned Future Offering
Fullblood Wagyu genetics
Genetics related to the ranch’s Fullblood Wagyu program may be a long-term consideration as breeding plans develop.
Why Wagyu
Wagyu is known for extensive marbling.
Marbling contributes to tenderness and can create a rich, buttery eating experience.
The breed is valued for calm demeanor, intelligence, and genetics. Sweetgrass Farms selected Fullblood Wagyu as the foundation of a long-term breeding and future beef program.
How the Program Is Being Built
Sweetgrass Farms is currently focused on:
- Growing the breeding herd slowly
- Learning the behavior and needs of the cattle
- Managed intensive grazing
- Daily movement to fresh pasture when conditions allow
- Soil health
- Water infrastructure
- Native grasses
- Preparing for calving
- Building a responsible future beef program
