413 Cattle Company

413 Cattle Company, Wagyu cattle in Springtown, TX, operates in North Texas near Fort Worth. Owned by John Jester, the farm has spent ten years developing a herd that follows industry standards and participates in parentage verification with routine veterinary health checks.

Animals graze on native grasses through rotational pastures and use loafing sheds for shelter, and calves are introduced to human contact early to build calm temperaments. Nutrition plans focus on forage quality and supplemental grains for balanced growth, preserving the signature marbling of Wagyu while observing animal welfare. The operation works with local livestock veterinarians to monitor herd health, reproductive performance and traceability, and the ranch maintains detailed breeding records.

Rooted in family farming traditions, the ranch emphasizes sustainable land management and shares its practices with neighbors through occasional farm tours. Community engagement includes hosting school visits that highlight responsible beef production.
