Flying W Cattle Company

Flying W Cattle Company, a Wagyu breeder in Pomona, KS, is in Franklin County and the Flint Hills near Topeka. Owner Curt Wood has raised Wagyu for several years, following industry health screening standards and maintaining registrations through recognized cattle associations. The herd grazes on native grasses and legumes, benefiting from rotational pasture management that supports soil health and animal wellbeing.

Calves remain with their dams for natural socialization, and hands-on interactions help them adapt to low-stress environments. Emphasis on maternal traits and marbling quality has led to several cattle placing well at county fair performance trials. Records of breeding, health checks and growth rates are kept on-site, reflecting a transparent approach to every stage of production. A mix of supplemented grains and forage phases the diet for consistent growth, while regular veterinary visits ensure herd health at all life stages. Visitors appreciate the relaxed setting and thorough knowledge shared by Curt, a breeder who combines family farm traditions with modern best practices.
