Dennis Schneider And Tonya Osborne

Dennis Schneider and Tonya Osborne, Wagyu cattle, Highland, IL, Madison County and the St. Louis area. They have bred Wagyu cattle for more than 15 years and belong to the American Wagyu Association with regular health screening for calving ease and overall herd health.

The pair raise their cattle on rotational pasture to promote natural foraging and gentle socialization from birth. Their herd has earned county fair ribbons for meat quality and temperament while customers often note the calm nature of their animals. Calves are weaned gradually to ensure minimal stress and adapt well to both small farms and larger operations.

Soil health and sustainable grazing guide their farm management, supporting resilient pastures and balanced nutrition. Visitors report a welcoming atmosphere at the barn and find their farm a resource for advice on pasture management and herd health. Their breeding program emphasizes maternal strength and marbling to meet a range of farm and restaurant needs.
