Alan Chatfield

Alan Chatfield raises Wagyu cattle in Montrose, IA, Lee County and the Mississippi River Valley near Davenport. With several years of experience and membership in national livestock associations, the cattle receive routine veterinary health screenings and genetic evaluations. The herd grazes on rotational pastures and calves are socialized daily, fostering calm temperaments and resilience in varying conditions. A balanced ration of locally grown grains and hay supports steady growth and nutrient needs at each life stage.

Some animals trace back to traditional Japanese Wagyu lines, reflecting a focus on consistent marbling and hardiness. All animals live on a family-owned farm alongside the riverbank, where humane handling and sustainable grazing practices guide daily care. This approach yields cattle noted for steady growth rates and agreeable dispositions among local producers. Winter months include access to insulated barns and fresh bedding, maintaining herd health in colder seasons.
