Ed Wolles

Ed Wolles raises Wagyu cattle in Dell Rapids, SD, in southeastern South Dakota near Sioux Falls. With more than fifteen years of experience, he maintains membership with national breeding associations and follows established health screening protocols for hereditary conditions. Calving areas are cleaned daily and calves join family herds for early socialization on pasture.

The operation uses rotational grazing and provides weather-resistant shelter, while fields are managed to sustain soil and plant health. A commitment to gentle handling, limited stress routines and regular herd health reviews helps maintain calm temperaments and resilient offspring. Herds from Ed Wolles contribute to regional farm shows and past customers note consistent well-being in family and commercial settings.

Feed programs feature locally sourced hay and balanced mineral mixes to meet the specific nutritional needs of Wagyu cattle. Annual bull and heifer selections attract inquiries from small-scale ranchers and commercial producers considering Wagyu genetics for marbling traits.
