Bryce Farms

Bryce Farms raises Wagyu cattle in Eldon, MO, in the Lake of the Ozarks region near Jefferson City. Bryce Backes has been breeding cattle for more than a decade, maintains membership in national livestock associations, and uses genetic testing alongside routine health screening.

Animals graze on rotational pastures and receive seasonal hoof and dental care, while calves are socialized from birth in a family-owned farm environment. Climate-controlled barns and secure pens offer shelter year-round, and sustainability practices include on-site feed sourcing and minimal antibiotic use under veterinary guidance. Visitors often remark on the cattle’s calm temperament and the farm’s serene setting.

The registered Wagyu lines at Bryce Farms are selected for proven genetics and marbling characteristics prized by small-scale producers, with consistent marbling scores that meet industry benchmarks. Bryce Farms provides transparent records and guidance for ongoing herd management. A closed-herd policy and traceable lineage documentation support long-term herd health.
