Crystal Star Dairy

Crystal Star Dairy is a Wagyu cattle breeder in Hagerstown, MD, serving western Maryland near Washington, D.C., and offering breeding stock and finished cattle. Founder Lawayne Martin has raised Wagyu cattle for over fifteen years, developing a focus on pedigreed lines and USDA-approved health screenings. The farm holds active membership in the American Wagyu Association and follows recommended protocols for fertility, genetic testing, and herd health monitoring.

The cattle live on open pastures with access to a climate-controlled barn and rotational grazing paddocks. Calves benefit from early socialization and gentle daily handling, encouraging calm temperaments and smooth growth. Martin’s background in sustainable agriculture shapes the farm’s soil health and forage programs.

Their herd is kept to under fifty head, allowing for close individual care at each stage. Regular marbling assessments confirm the breed’s characteristic texture and support uniform quality across the herd.
