Cypress River Ranch

Cypress River Ranch wagyu cattle in Jefferson, TX, in the East Texas region near Dallas-Fort Worth are raised by a close-knit family operation. Kimmie and Bob Sanders have dedicated more than a decade to breeding and are active members of the American Wagyu Association, with routine health testing and balanced pasture rotation.

Pedigrees are registered and selected for muscle development and feed efficiency, and feed programs combine pasture grazing with supplemental grains to enhance marbling. Calves spend early weeks socialized alongside dairy cows and receive gentle handling to ease transition, helping them adapt smoothly to herd life. The ranch’s hands-on approach extends to nutritional planning with custom forage blends and regular soil analyses that support pasture vitality.

Seasonal herd records are shared transparently with prospective buyers, and visitors often comment on the attentive handling that encourages confidence in young cattle. A tradition of careful record keeping shows in consistent growth rates and calm temperaments that local beef enthusiasts value. Regular veterinary visits and environmental monitoring contribute to the herd’s overall resilience in variable Texas climates.
