Hudson Cattle Co. LLC

Hudson Cattle Co. LLC, Wagyu cattle in Van Buren, MO, is in Carter County and the Missouri Ozarks near Branson. Its herd is registered with the American Wagyu Association, and each animal undergoes routine health screenings, quarterly veterinary exams, and genetic evaluations.

Animals graze on rotational pastures that mimic native prairie landscapes, enjoy regular handling to support calm temperaments, and return to spacious shelters fitted with bedding and shade each evening. The family-run farm emphasizes traceability from birth, allowing buyers to follow lineage records and management practices. A local chef praised the marble quality of its beef, highlighting consistent fat distribution and rich flavor suited for a range of recipes.

It also participates in community agricultural fairs and shares best practices with neighboring producers to promote sustainable livestock management across the region. Its cattle benefit from mineral-rich soil and seasonal forage diversity common to the Ozarks. Calves are introduced to handlers within days of birth, encouraging early social bonds and gentle dispositions.
