Headwater Farms

Headwater Farms, a family-run Wagyu cattle operation in Uxbridge, Canada ON in the Durham region near Toronto. Headwater Farms has focused on carefully selected genetics and sustainable breeding for over a decade, maintaining registration with the Canadian Wagyu Association and conducting routine health screening.

Animals graze on open pasture and enjoy spacious barns designed to support natural behavior and regular herd interaction. Rachel Czapka emphasizes low-stress handling and gradual acclimation to human presence, fostering calm temperaments that reflect attentive husbandry. The farm’s balanced feeding program uses locally sourced grains alongside pasture forage to enhance marbling quality without reliance on growth promoters. Originally established as a dairy operation, the property has evolved to focus on Wagyu cattle while preserving its agricultural heritage. Visitors often note the cattle’s easygoing nature and healthy condition, reflecting a steady approach to animal welfare. Each animal is tagged for full traceability from birth.
