121 Ranch

121 Ranch raises Wagyu cattle in Tennyson, TX, in Dawson County and the Llano Estacado near Lubbock. Owner Ryan Lewis has focused on responsible breeding practices with multiple breeding seasons of experience, guided by standards from the American Wagyu Association to maintain herd records and genetic clarity.

The herd grazes on native grass and benefits from rotational grazing and shelter in an open-air barn for shade and protection. Calves are monitored closely to ensure they receive adequate colostrum and early socialization that supports calm dispositions. Some of their cattle have earned recognition at local livestock exhibitions for consistent structure and marbling potential.

With roots in West Texas ranching, 121 Ranch balances cattle management with land stewardship, maintaining pasture health through seasonal grazing rotations. Veterinary partnerships ensure preventive care and tailored nutrition plans throughout the year. It hosts seasonal pasture tours for area ranchers to share best practices in grazing management.
