Halfbox W, LLC

Halfbox W, LLC is a breeder of Wagyu cattle in Monticello, Utah, San Juan County and the Four Corners region near Moab. For several years their herd has been registered and routinely health-tested through recognized association standards, with attention to genetic selection for quality marbling and calm temperaments. Kelly Ward raises the herd on rotational pastures, emphasizing low-stress handling and early socialization to support animal welfare and consistent growth.

Their cattle graze on diverse grasses and receive supplemental minerals tailored to each pasture cycle. Calves remain with their mothers in spacious paddocks before gradual introduction to feedlot protocols that mirror traditional ranching methods. This approach reflects a long-standing commitment to stewardship of the land and the breed’s Japanese heritage, supported by records that track lineage and health. Prospective buyers often note the calm disposition and consistent quality of Halfbox W’s cattle, reflecting the breeder’s careful management.
