Bar N.J Ranch

Bar N.J Ranch raises Wagyu cattle in Midway, TX. Situated in McLennan County and the Heart of Texas near Waco, the ranch blends open-range grazing with personalized care. Frank & Michelle Jaramillo have been breeding Wagyu cattle for over a decade with memberships in national and state cattlemen’s associations and routine genetic and health testing. The breeding program follows recommended guidelines to maintain genetic diversity, and a tailored diet of local grasses and grains supports optimal cattle health.

Calves receive daily handling from birth and enjoy access to shaded paddocks and wide pastures to encourage steady growth. Quarterly pasture rotations and low-stress handling reflect the ranch’s emphasis on animal welfare. Thoughtful record-keeping supports consistent marbling, and the ranch’s calm setting contributes to well-mannered stock. Through participation in regional agricultural shows, their cattle have earned recognition for balanced temperament and muscle quality.
