Happy Valley Wagyu is a Wagyu cattle breeder in Centre Hall, PA, in Centre County in central Pennsylvania near State College. Robert Cloninger has been raising Wagyu cattle for more than a decade, adhering to breed association guidelines and maintaining regular health screening with local veterinarians.

The herd is managed on rotational grazing pastures, where cattle are allowed to forage and socialize in small groups, and feeding regimes follow industry-recommended nutrition plans. Focused on marbling consistency, Happy Valley Wagyu emphasizes calm handling and transparent records of lineage and growth performance.

Facilities include covered loafing sheds and dedicated feeding areas that support year-round comfort and shelter. Regular on-farm workshops invite local producers to learn about breeding best practices and herd management techniques. Cattle originate from proven bloodlines selected for tenderness and flavor, with animals tracked from birth to finishing. This family operation balances traditional husbandry with careful data monitoring to maintain consistency across each calf crop.
