David & Don Schafer

David & Don Schafer, Wagyu cattle breeders in Wynnewood, OK, are based in south-central Oklahoma near Oklahoma City. They participate in the American Wagyu Association registry and follow recommended health testing, including fertility assessments and genetic screening, to support herd vitality. Drawing on decades of family ranching experience, their approach blends traditional stewardship with modern data-driven breeding decisions. Their herd grazes rotationally on native grasses and calves are handled gently from the first days to foster a calm temperament.

They collaborate with state extension specialists to maintain herd health and pasture sustainability. Daily hands-on care, including regular low-stress handling and pasture-based feeding, supports consistent growth and quality marbling without reliance on growth-promoting additives. Their cattle often supply local artisan butchers and chefs who value predictable flavor and texture profiles. Visitors often note the calm nature of the herd and the well-managed grasslands at their Wynnewood ranch.
