Happy Pig Farms

Happy Pig Farms in Peachland, NC, raises Wagyu cattle in Anson County and the Piedmont near Charlotte. Owner Mark Cabrera brings years of livestock experience to a program that records detailed lineage, follows industry health screening standards, and participates in genetic performance tracking. Its breeding goals focus on consistency of marbling and structural soundness without compromising natural behavior or dietary needs.

Cattle graze on mixed grass paddocks with rotating access to open fields and shaded shelters, and daily handling helps them develop calm temperaments around people. The farm blends traditional pasture management with modern welfare practices, ensuring calves nurse naturally and herd members move freely in a low-stress setting. Many local chefs and small-scale processors note the reliable growth rates and balanced fat distribution that reflect the farm’s commitment to sustainable husbandry. Winter months include sheltered feeding stations stocked with nutritious hay and fresh water.
