Bar Dp Ranch

Bar Dp Ranch raises Wagyu cattle in Merced, CA, in the Central Valley near Fresno. Its breeders bring more than a decade of experience and adhere to registry standards with regular health testing for clear pedigrees. Animals graze on nutrient-rich forage across rolling pastures and receive daily attention that fosters calm, socialized behavior.

The family-run ranch emphasizes careful selection for sound structure and gentle temperament, reflecting its focus on responsible stewardship. Every animal is monitored closely from birth to maturity, ensuring consistent growth and well-being on pasture. Bar Dp Ranch maintains detailed records in line with breed association guidelines, supporting traceable pedigrees. Calves are transitioned to balanced feedlot rations as they mature, ensuring optimal muscle development and natural marbling. Owned by Dan De Wees along with Pat and Sam De Wees, the operation blends hands-on care with ranch traditions passed through generations.
