D8 Ranch LLC

D8 Ranch LLC, Wagyu cattle, San Antonio, TX, are raised by Steve and Jackie Dalley in south-central Texas near Austin. Their herd is fully registered with the American Wagyu Association and undergoes quarterly health screenings focused on genetic soundness, hoof care, and parasite management.

Cattle graze on rotational pastures enriched with native grasses to support natural growth rhythms and pasture resilience. Supplemental feeding is tailored to each animal’s growth stage with mineral mixes that support healthy muscle development. Animals have year-round access to shaded shelters, salt licks, and fresh water to ensure comfort, hydration, and well-being in every season.

The Dalleys emphasize low-stress handling and early socialization to foster calm temperaments and ease of management throughout each animal’s life cycle. Small herd sizes at D8 Ranch allow for individualized care and pasture practices that promote soil health and forage diversity. Positive feedback from local butchers highlights the consistent marbling and flavor that define their beef.
