Jessup Farm

Jessup Farm breeds Wagyu cattle in Westford, NY, in Essex County and the Adirondack region near Albany. The farm follows breed association guidelines and holds routine health checks for its herd. Owner Paul Jessup applies years of experience to maintain breeding lines focused on temperament and marbling, with independent veterinary reports confirming the herd’s overall health. Cattle graze on rotational pasture and receive daily handling to support calm temperaments and natural behavior.

Pastures are rotated seasonally to preserve soil health, and the herd is pasture-finished with supplemental hay during winter. Calves remain with their mothers through weaning to promote natural growth and social bonds. The operation began on family land and has grown into a small-scale setting that balances traditional care with careful feeding strategies. Its focus on sustainable practices and herd well-being reflects a commitment to responsible stewardship rather than volume production.
