5K Farms & Cattle

5K Farms & Cattle, Wagyu cattle, Filer, Idaho, Twin Falls County and the Magic Valley near Twin Falls. 5K Farms & Cattle is registered with the American Wagyu Association and applies established health screening protocols, including ultrasound and DNA tests, to its breeding stock.

Their cattle graze on irrigated pasture and receive daily handling to encourage calm temperaments and overall wellbeing. Owner Joseph Kippes rotates herds across fenced paddocks, practicing sustainable grazing and building healthier soil over decades. That focus on grass management and stewardship contributes to cattle with consistent growth and well-distributed intramuscular fat.

Animals experience seasonal shelter in timbered windbreaks and gain exposure to natural foraging, supporting robust digestive health. Local ranchers appreciate the farm’s rigorous approach and note reliable performance in feedlot evaluations. Operations emphasize clear records for genetics and feed trials, reflecting a commitment to transparency and ongoing improvement.
