Chris Hill

Chris Hill raises Wagyu cattle in Wentzville, MO, in St. Charles County near St. Louis. Hill has been breeding Wagyu for more than a decade and participates in American Wagyu Association registry programs with routine health screenings.

His breeding goals center on consistent marbling and sound conformation, guided by genetic records and pasture-born calves. The herd grazes on rotationally managed pastures and calves are introduced to handling stations early to encourage calm temperaments. Daily routines include scheduled low-stress handling sessions, nutritional oversight, and seasonal herd health protocols such as ultrasounds and DNA testing to support strong immune responses.

Several of his cattle have placed in county fairs, reflecting attention to performance and temperament. The family-run operation emphasizes transparency in animal care and respect for livestock throughout each stage of development. Visitors describe a welcoming farm environment where cattle welfare and quality production go hand in hand.
