Great Revivalist Beef LLC

Great Revivalist Beef LLC, a Wagyu breeder in Rock Island, IL, is based in Rock Island County and the Quad Cities near Davenport. Robert Schwab has raised Wagyu cattle for over a decade with a commitment to American Wagyu Association registration and regular health checks. The herd grazes on rotational pasture along the Mississippi River floodplain, and calves are socialized from birth to ensure gentle temperaments.

As a fifth-generation farm with a century-old red barn, they combine traditional land stewardship with modern nutrition to support marbling and animal welfare. Neighboring ranchers note their attention to hoof care and low-stress handling. They source non-GMO grains from nearby growers to complement pasture grazing. Some buyers appreciate the herd's calm demeanor during weaning and consistent quality across cuts. Robert is a member of the Illinois Cattlemen's Association, maintains traceability records for each calf, and attends annual workshops on low-stress livestock handling.
