Cadence Creek Farm Wagyu

Cadence Creek Farm Wagyu, Wagyu cattle in Dalton, GA, is based in northwest Georgia near Chattanooga. Elizabeth Hayes has been raising Wagyu cattle for several years and maintains records through the American Wagyu Association. The cattle graze rotationally on fescue and clover pastures, with daily health checks and ample shelter in barns that offer fresh bedding and access to clean water stations.

The farm maintains a small-scale family operation that emphasizes low-stress handling and socialization of calves with children and other livestock. All animals receive routine veterinary screenings for fertility and carcass quality traits to sustain herd wellbeing and performance, and parents are evaluated for marbling potential. Their low-density stocking rates help preserve soil health and reduce environmental impact on pasture land.

Elizabeth’s approach has earned positive feedback from local chefs who value meat consistency and flavor. The herd’s average calving rate aligns with industry standards for maternal health.
