Bradshaw Ranch

Bradshaw Ranch, wagyu in Duckwater, NV, operates in Nye County and the Great Basin near Tonopah. Karl Bradshaw has worked with wagyu cattle for over fifteen years and follows breed association health protocols, including regular veterinary screenings, genetic testing, and tailored nutrition plans. Herds graze on expansive desert pastures with rotational grazing and access to open-air shelters, allowing cattle room to develop robust muscling and resilience.

Socialization begins at birth, with handlers using low-stress techniques to foster calm dispositions and trust between animals and people. The ranch has been family-owned for three generations and emphasizes sustainable land stewardship in every decision through careful pasture management and water conservation.

Local feedback highlights the herd’s consistent marbling and gentle temperament, qualities valued by fellow ranchers and small-scale producers. Careful selection of breeding pairs and documented pedigrees support consistent performance in offspring, while a forage-first diet supplemented with regional grains ensures steady, uniform growth.
