Caney Creek Ranch & Retreat LLC

Caney Creek Ranch & Retreat LLC is a breeder of Wagyu cattle in Galena, MO, in southwestern Missouri near Springfield. With regular veterinary oversight from local large animal practitioners, all cattle follow established health screening protocols for fertility, growth and common genetic conditions. Herds graze rotationally on native pastures shaded by oak and hickory, with low-stress handling and early calf socialization to foster calm temperaments.

David Jochims tracks growth and carcass data to guide breeding decisions and maintain the breed’s signature marbling qualities. The ranch spans rolling hills and creek-fed meadows along Caney Creek, providing diverse forage and a stress-free environment. Seasonal adjustments in feed and shelter support herd health through humid Missouri summers and cold winters. Complete breeding records are maintained for traceability from birth through finishing. On-site retreats offer educational workshops in sustainable cattle management and low-stress livestock handling.
