CBS Farm

CBS Farm, Wagyu cattle, Aitkin, MN, north-central Minnesota near Minneapolis. The operation is run by Chuck Schoepf and Ben Schoepf, with over a decade of focused breeding and membership in national heritage cattle associations that oversee genetic and health testing. Calves are raised on pasture rotations and receive early handling to promote calm temperaments.

The farm’s pasture-based approach emphasizes natural forage and clean water, allowing animals to develop at their own pace in family-style herds. Breeding selections prioritize consistent marbling and structural soundness, reflecting careful records and selection practices. All breeding stock undergoes routine genetic screening and herd health evaluations to maintain long-term vigor. Visitors note the farm’s welcoming atmosphere and transparent care routines. The farm works closely with a regional beef quality council and hosts occasional tours for local agriculture students to share insights on sustainable ranching and enhance animal welfare practices.
