Double J Ranch

Double J Ranch, Wagyu cattle, Daniel, WY, offers genetics optimized for marbling and hardy performance across Wyoming near Cheyenne.

John Healy draws on decades of ranching experience and partners with the American Wagyu Association to maintain detailed herd records, genetic evaluations, and veterinary-recommended vaccination protocols. Cattle graze native grass and alfalfa pasture through rotational management, receive supplementary hay in winter, and benefit from routine low-stress handling to build resilient temperaments. Calves remain with their dams until they reach optimal weaning weights under attentive supervision, ensuring steady growth and a seamless transition to backgrounding.

Linebreeding strategies focus on preserving hardy bloodlines while enhancing intramuscular fat deposition, and DNA sampling confirms lineage and marbling predisposition. Regional performance assessments regularly reflect high marbling scores and consistent average daily gains, underscoring a balance of quality and efficiency. The ranch’s emphasis on transparent practices and animal welfare builds trust among local and neighboring producers seeking reliable Wagyu genetics.
