Hollis Lakey

Hollis Lakey breeds wagyu cattle in Groveton, TX, part of East Texas near Houston. With more than fifteen years of breeding experience, she maintains registrations with the American Wagyu Association and performs regular genetic and health evaluations. Each animal undergoes annual screenings for metabolic and structural health through accredited veterinary labs.

Cattle graze on rotational pasture enhanced by custom forage blends and receive daily monitoring to ensure herd well-being. Young animals are introduced to handling routines early, fostering calm dispositions and ease of management during finishing. The ranch’s emphasis on pasture health and soil fertility supports consistent marbling and feed efficiency in the finished animals.

Herd numbers range between thirty and fifty head, including foundation cows chosen for temperament and detailed pedigrees dating back three generations. Local agricultural extension agents praise Hollis Lakey’s transparent record-keeping and commitment to sustainable land management.
