Austin Crystal

Austin Crystal, a Wagyu breeder in Idaho Falls, ID, serves Bonneville County and the Snake River Plain near Twin Falls. With over a decade of experience and membership in the American Wagyu Association, Crystal follows strict genetic and health testing protocols to ensure robust, quality cattle.

Its herd enjoys rotational grazing across irrigated pastures, and calves are gently handled from birth to encourage calm temperament and early socialization. Open-sided shelters protect animals from extreme weather, and feeding programs combine pasture legumes with measured grain supplementation to support steady growth. Each animal’s diet is tailored to health needs and performance goals.

A farm rooted in family traditions, the operation has supplied seedstock to regional farms and the occasional national show circuit. Feedback from local ranchers highlights consistent weight gains and beef marbling that meets industry standards. Recent calves have earned recognition for superior marbling scores in state evaluations, underscoring the herd’s genetic consistency.
