Golden Age Farm, Richard Masson

Golden Age Farm, Wagyu cattle, Lexington, KY, is located in the Bluegrass region near Louisville. The farm has bred Wagyu cattle for over a decade under American Wagyu Association guidelines, with routine health screenings and genetic evaluations to ensure strong, healthy calves. Animals graze on open pasture and receive supplemental minerals, and each receives regular socialization to support calm temperaments. A family-run operation, it blends local heritage with research-based nutrition that reflects respect for the land and herd.

Their cattle are raised in small groups to allow for detailed record keeping and individual care from birth through weaning. Breeding bulls are selected for marbling potential and docile temperaments to support consistent quality in each calf crop. Calves remain with their dams through weaning to encourage natural growth before joining on-site backgrounding programs. Visitors often remark on the herd’s calm demeanor and the farm’s relaxed pace.
