Fair Grove Wagyu, LLC

Fair Grove Wagyu, LLC, a family-run ranch, raises Wagyu cattle in Sturgis, MI, within southwestern Michigan near Kalamazoo. Owner Margaretha Vander Hulst applies established breeding practices and follows strict certified health-screening standards recommended for quality beef herds.

The cattle graze on rotational pastures and receive daily handling to encourage calm temperaments and ease of management. The operation maintains detailed records on lineage and performance to support consistent marbling and maternal traits over generations. Calves stay close to their dams in a low-stress environment and gain early exposure to routine care.

Sustainable grazing methods help preserve soil health while fostering a resilient herd adaptable to seasonal changes. The farm’s collaborative approach with regional processors and fellow ranchers underscores its role in local beef production networks. Margaretha draws on more than a decade of livestock experience to maintain herd health and quality.
