Fess Parker Cattle Co.

Fess Parker Cattle Co. raises Wagyu cattle in Hachita, NM, in southwestern New Mexico near Las Cruces. Its operation emphasizes careful selection of breeding stock and routine health screening to support strong bloodlines.

Animals are raised on open pastures with access to clean water and shelter, and young calves are socialized through regular handling to encourage calm temperaments. The ranch adheres to transparent record keeping, documenting each animal’s growth milestones to ensure consistent development. Rocky Mcdonald brings hands-on experience to daily herd management, blending traditional ranching practices with attentive care.

A balanced diet of native grasses supplemented with nutrient-rich grain supports healthy weight gain and the marbling prized by discerning buyers. Though the ranch operates independently, it follows guidelines from national cattle associations to maintain transparency and quality standards. Rolling pastureland at elevation provides a natural environment for grazing throughout most of the year.
