Elk River Cattle Company - Sims

Elk River Cattle Company - Sims is known for wagyu cattle in Dellrose, TN, serving Lincoln County and the Nashville area. It has raised wagyu cattle for several years and maintains membership in the American Wagyu Association. Every animal receives routine health screening for genetic conditions and common bovine ailments to safeguard herd wellbeing and performance.

Cattle move through managed pastures under a rotational grazing system and enjoy year-round access to barns with straw bedding. Newborn calves are gently socialized from the first week to encourage calm temperaments and easy integration into handling routines. Feeding relies on a balanced mix of forages and minerals without growth-promoting antibiotics to support steady weight gain and marbling.

The farm’s long-term focus on animal welfare is reflected in gentle handling, sustainable pasture management, and transparent record keeping. Community support and local partnerships have grown steadily as chefs and small farms recognize the quality and consistency of this herd.
