Homemade Acres LLC

Homemade Acres LLC breeds Wagyu cattle in Okeechobee, FL, serving Lake Okeechobee near West Palm Beach. Kelly and Clint Gould follow American Wagyu Association guidelines and conduct regular genetic and health screenings for their herd. Their cattle graze rotationally on open pastures and receive individual attention from birth to finishing for steady growth and gentle handling.

A small herd size allows close bonds and detailed record-keeping to preserve desirable marbling traits and temperament. Herd management records cover feed efficiency, weight gains and carcass data to inform mating decisions and improve consistency. Their approach balances traditional ranching values with modern welfare practices to support both animal well-being and consistent meat quality. Local chefs and ranchers in the region often note the reliable performance of their animals at cooking demonstrations and quality assessments. The Goulds draw on past experiences with commercial cattle operations to refine their Wagyu program to local conditions.
