Bradley & Heather Shackleton

Bradley & Heather Shackleton, Wagyu cattle breeders in Trent, TX, are based in West Texas near Abilene. They follow breed association standards, perform regular health screening and maintain detailed vaccination records for every calf. The herd grazes on rotational pastures, where low-stress handling and gradual socialization help cattle adapt smoothly to open-range life. Their approach to breeding emphasizes detailed record keeping, which helps maintain consistent marbling and robust bloodlines over successive generations.

They work from a family ranch that has supported local agriculture for generations and builds personal connections with buyers. Positive feedback from local chefs and small-scale butchers highlights a balanced focus on sustainable practices, animal welfare, and responsible land use. Each animal receives shelter from the elements and access to spring-fed ponds that support hydration and comfort year-round. Thoughtful finishing combines local grains with pasture-based feeding to balance flavor and lean muscle development.
