Cornerstone Ranch

Cornerstone Ranch, Wagyu cattle, Abilene, TX, is a breeding operation in Taylor County and the West Texas region near Lubbock. It participates in national breed registry programs, screens sires and dams for genetic conditions, and arranges routine veterinary evaluations.

Cattle graze on native pastures with continuous access to shade and clean water, and calves undergo early handling to promote calm temperaments. The operation emphasizes low-stress handling techniques, grouping animals by age and size to support natural social structures. Owner Vincent Coates integrates sustainable rotational grazing that preserves soil health while enhancing forage variety for the herd.

A balanced finishing program combines local forage with supplemental grains to deliver uniform marbling and maintain traceable lineage records. Family owned and locally operated, the ranch maintains relationships with regional processors to ensure respectful handling beyond the pasture. Clients appreciate the ranch’s transparency in sharing feeding protocols and breeding histories for every registered animal.
