Christensen Ranches

Christensen Ranches, Wagyu cattle in Emery, UT, operates in Emery County and the Colorado Plateau near Moab. With over a decade of breeding experience and affiliations with the American Wagyu Association and the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, it maintains rigorous health screenings, genetic testing, and traceability protocols for every calf. Calves and breeding stock graze freely on native grasses across gently rolling pastures, with supplemental feed composed of locally milled grains to support steady growth and balanced nutrition.

Daily hands-on care includes regular health evaluations, early socialization of young stock, and winter housing designed for comfort during Utah’s cold months. Michael Christensen applies a selection strategy based on marbling scores and structural soundness, a practice that has yielded cattle praised by regional livestock judges for consistency.

The ranch maintains open records of calving schedules and performance data, fostering trust with area butchers and chefs interested in traceable beef. Sustainable grazing rotations and water conservation measures reflect its commitment to ecosystem health on the Colorado Plateau.
