Christensen Cattle Company

Christensen Cattle Company is a Wagyu cattle breeder in Shelley, ID, Eastern Idaho and the Idaho Falls area. It has been raising Wagyu cattle for several years and is committed to American Wagyu Association standards and health testing protocols. The cattle are pasture-raised on rolling fields and receive daily care to support gentle handling and social development. Owner David Christensen incorporates rotational grazing and a diet that includes local forages to promote animal welfare without antibiotics.

Breeding decisions are guided by performance data and a focus on marbling quality in both seedstock and feeder cattle. The ranch maintains pastures irrigated by natural springs, supporting sustainable management throughout the seasons. This family-operated ranch places emphasis on transparent breeding records and respectful stewardship of land and livestock. The quiet, open-range setting allows calves to develop alongside their dam in a low-stress environment.
