Frank Bowen

Frank Bowen raises Wagyu cattle in Marion, Montana, in the Flathead Valley near Kalispell. With years of hands-on experience and membership in the American Wagyu Association, he maintains detailed breeding records and schedules regular veterinary health screenings. Calves are raised in small herds on irrigated pasture, receiving daily handling to promote calm temperaments and adaptability to varied climates.

The ranch follows pasture-based finishing methods, aiming for naturally enhanced marbling without the use of hormones or routine antibiotics. Production stays on the home farm where cattle graze year-round in seasonally rotated paddocks and access secure shelter during winter months. Frank’s systematic approach has drawn local interest for its consistency in quality and traceability. Lineage data is submitted to the national association, ensuring each head can be traced through multiple generations. Winter calving takes place in well-ventilated barns with deep bedding to support newborn health.
