Circle H Ranch

Circle H Ranch, wagyu cattle breeders in Afton, WY, serves Lincoln County and the Star Valley near Jackson. Victor Hardesty has more than a decade of experience, is registered with the American Wagyu Association, and follows industry guidelines for genetic health testing. Its herd grazes on open pastures, and calves benefit from daily handling to encourage a calm temperament.

The ranch’s approach blends traditional grazing methods with temperature-controlled holding barns to ensure consistent welfare through seasonal changes. Victor focuses on fine marbling and sound structure, tracking growth metrics and adjusting nutritional plans for each animal. A small, family-run operation, Circle H Ranch emphasizes quiet handling and clean facilities to reflect its commitment to animal care. All cattle receive a tailored forage-based diet supplemented with natural grains to support healthy weight gain without antibiotics. The ranch participates in community events to share best practices for pasture management and livestock welfare.
