Coldwater Wagyu

Coldwater Wagyu, a family-run Wagyu cattle farm in Taft, Tennessee, serves the Sequatchie Valley near Chattanooga. The farm has focused breeding programs rooted in structured health screenings, genetic assessments, and registry practices to promote consistent marbling and strong temperaments. Owner Justin Reilly brings years of sustainable livestock experience to the herd, keeping detailed records on lineage and wellness outcomes.

Cattle graze on rotational pastures with access to sheltered loafing areas, ensuring steady weight gain and stress reduction. Morning and evening routines include hands-on socialization to foster calm herd behavior and ease handling throughout the year. Careful feeding protocols blend forage with measured grain rations to support muscle development while maintaining herd health.

Breeding selections draw on performance and carcass data to refine marbling traits and adaptability across each generation. Animal progress is recorded from weaning through finish weight under seasonal pasture rotations, monitored closely by farm staff.
