Black Gold Genetics

Black Gold Genetics, Wagyu cattle breeders in Robinson, IL, are located on rolling pastureland in southeastern Illinois near Evansville. Justin Rich and Donald Jones participate in registry programs through the American Wagyu Association and conduct regular genetic and health testing to support herd quality. Their operation draws on years of breeding experience under guidelines that emphasize temperament and structural soundness.

Animals graze on rotational pastures and are handled daily to foster a calm demeanour. Herd members have access to sheltered loafing areas and fresh water around the clock. The breeding program balances marbling traits with maternal performance to produce cattle suited for both beef quality and longevity. All calves are born on site and receive individual attention during weaning and growth phases.
