Baycroft Wagyu Cattle Co.

Baycroft Wagyu Cattle Co. raises wagyu in De Pere, WI in Brown County and Fox River Valley near Green Bay. Brian & James Hoskens have established their ranch with a focus on reliable genetics and rigorous health testing, following industry protocols. Their involvement in breed associations underscores a commitment to traceable lineage.

The herd grazes on rotational pastures that support soil health, with calves socialized from an early age through daily handling. Pasture phases are complemented by a grain-finishing program using locally sourced corn and barley to develop classic wagyu marbling. Housing includes open-air shelters that offer protection while allowing natural behaviors.

Detailed lineage tracking and complete growth and performance data are meticulously recorded for each animal, ensuring transparency in breeding and production. Ongoing stewardship by the Hoskens family draws on local ranching traditions, promoting animal welfare and consistent herd performance.
