Jerry Ostrem, Wagyu cattle, Viroqua, WI in the Driftless Area near La Crosse. He has been breeding this herd for over a decade, following American Wagyu Association guidelines, implementing health testing and registering each calf to track genetic progress and offspring consistency. A focus on rotational grazing supports pasture health and local biodiversity, while cattle are trained from birth to be comfortable around people.

Facilities are cleaned daily and calves follow structured socialization routines that help them develop a calm temperament and resilience. The farm’s sustainable feed program combines regionally grown forages with mineral supplements to enhance marbling and overall wellbeing. Owners frequently comment on steady weight gains and even temperaments that perform well in both small family operations and larger farms.

Prospective buyers receive detailed advice on herd integration, feeding and pasture management to ensure successful long-term outcomes. Appointments are welcome for farm visits to meet the animals and discuss breeding goals.
