611 Ranch

611 Ranch breeds Wagyu cattle in Claude, TX in the Texas Panhandle near Amarillo. Under the care of Christopher Junell, this family-run operation has been raising Wagyu cattle for several years with membership in regional breed associations and a regular health-testing protocol for all animals.

The ranch extends over native grasslands, allowing animals to express natural behaviors and maintain robust health throughout the year. Animals are raised on open pasture, benefiting from low-stress handling and daily interaction to support temperament and well-being. Each calf is monitored from birth, with attention to nutrition, grooming and natural grazing patterns. Detailed records are kept on lineage, birth weights and growth benchmarks to ensure consistency across breeding cycles. Several of their heifers have earned recognition in local livestock shows, reflecting a focus on marbling quality and genetic integrity. Christopher’s ranching philosophy centers on sustainability and transparent breeding records.
